Take control of your crypto securely
Trézor® hardware wallets ensure your private keys never leave the device, protecting your crypto from malware and phishing attacks. This guide introduces you to safe setup practices: downloading Trezor Suite, verifying authenticity, creating your recovery phrase, and locking your device with a PIN or passphrase. Each step keeps you in full control of your digital assets.
1. Download Suite
Go to trezor.io/start and get the correct installer for your OS. Never trust unofficial download links.
2. Connect & update
Plug in your Trezor. If firmware is missing or outdated, Suite will guide you through the update. Verify fingerprints match before approving.
3. Record recovery seed
Your device will display 12–24 words. Write them on paper or a metal backup. Keep them offline and never share them with anyone.
4. Secure with PIN
Choose a PIN only you know. Optionally enable a passphrase for additional hidden wallets, giving you privacy and flexibility.
On-device approval
Every transaction must be confirmed on your Trezor screen. Attackers cannot bypass this physical check.
Multiple coins supported
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and thousands of tokens in one unified interface with Suite updates.
Privacy tools
Enable Tor, discreet mode, or connect to your own node. Trezor gives you power to transact privately and securely.
Security tips
- Download software only from trezor.io.
- Always confirm addresses on the device display.
- Update firmware to stay protected against threats.
- Keep seed backups offline, preferably in multiple safe locations.
- Never type your seed into a computer or phone.
With these steps, you can start using your Trézor® confidently. Download Suite, complete your device setup, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your crypto is secured offline and under your sole control.
