How it works — clear steps to start

Follow these concise steps to go from unboxing to securely holding your own keys. This official guide focuses on safety and simplicity so you can confidently manage crypto using your Trezor device.

1

Download Trezor Suite

Get the desktop app for full functionality, or continue with the web app if you prefer browser setup.

2

Install the application

Install the desktop installer or open the web app; the installer provides the most robust experience and offline checks.

3

Set up your Trezor device

Connect your Trezor, follow the on-device prompts to initialize, choose a PIN, and generate your recovery seed—store it offline and privately.

4

Verify and backup

Confirm the device shows the same recovery words during verification. Use official backup tools (metal seed backups recommended) and never share your seed phrase.

5

Move or manage assets

Once set up, transfer assets from exchanges or other wallets into your Trezor-managed addresses. Confirm network settings and fees before sending.

Security highlights

Hardware wallets keep private keys offline; your seed phrase is the ultimate recovery method. Use only official software, double-check URLs, and avoid sharing sensitive information.
