Welcome — Start Securely
Getting started with Trezor is straightforward and focused on safety. This official start page collects the essential steps and links you need to set up your device, install the official apps, and learn best practices to protect your crypto assets. Expect step-by-step guides, verified downloads, and security-first design advice so you can be confident from day one.
Step 1: Unbox & Inspect
When your Trezor arrives, verify the packaging seal and serial number. Physical tampering is rare but worth checking — never proceed with setup if the device appears compromised. If in doubt, contact official support immediately using the links on this page.
Step 2: Install Trezor Suite or Connect to Web
Trezor provides an official desktop and web companion app that handles firmware updates, coin management and secure transaction signing. Use only the official downloads linked below; do not rely on third‑party builds or unverified installers.
Step 3: Create Your Recovery Plan
Your recovery seed (the 12, 18, or 24-word phrase) is the only backup of your wallet. Write it down on a durable medium and keep it in a safe, offline place. Never photograph or upload your seed phrase. Learn about advanced backup options and seed security in the security guide linked below.
Advanced Tips
- Use a passphrase (optional) for an extra layer of protection.
- Keep firmware up-to-date — updates fix security and compatibility issues.
- Test small transactions before sending large amounts.
