Set Up Your Trezor Hardware Wallet Safely
Follow a simple step-by-step guide for installing Trezor Suite, connecting your hardware wallet, creating your wallet backup and preparing your device for secure crypto storage.
Your wallet backup is private
Never enter your wallet backup or recovery words into an unknown website, form, chat, email or support message.
How to set up a Trezor wallet
The safest approach is to begin at Trezor's official website and complete sensitive actions through Trezor Suite and your physical hardware wallet.
Open the official setup page
Manually verify that your browser shows trezor.io. Avoid downloading wallet software from advertisements, unofficial download portals, emails or unexpected messages.
Install Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite from Trezor's official website. Desktop users can install the application, while supported users may also have access to Trezor's web-based experience.
Connect your hardware wallet
Connect the device to your computer or supported mobile device and follow the security instructions shown in Trezor Suite and directly on your Trezor display.
Install and verify firmware
A new Trezor is initialized during setup. Follow the official firmware installation and device verification process before creating your wallet.
Create your wallet backup
Carefully record the wallet backup generated during setup. Keep it offline and private. Anyone who obtains it may be able to recover and control the wallet.
Secure and start using your wallet
Configure the security options offered by your device. Before receiving cryptocurrency, verify receiving addresses on the hardware wallet display.
Protect your Trezor from common scams
Hardware wallets provide strong protection, but users must still protect their wallet backup and carefully verify what they approve on the physical device.
Check the website
Make sure you are visiting the genuine trezor.io domain before downloading software or following setup instructions.
Keep backups offline
Don't upload your wallet backup to websites, cloud notes, emails, forms or messaging applications.
Verify on the device
Carefully verify addresses and sensitive confirmations on the physical Trezor screen before approving an action.
Trezor setup questions
What is trezor.io/start?
trezor.io/start is Trezor's official getting-started page. It directs new hardware-wallet owners to Trezor Suite and guides them through initial setup.
How long does Trezor setup take?
Trezor's current guidance says initial hardware-wallet setup generally takes about 15 minutes, although actual time may vary depending on the device and computer.

Should I type my recovery words into a website?
No. Treat your wallet backup as highly sensitive information. Do not enter it into an unofficial website, support chat, online form or message.
What if a brand-new Trezor already has firmware installed?
Trezor states that its devices are distributed without firmware installed. If a newly purchased device unexpectedly appears to contain firmware already, stop setup and consult official Trezor support.
