Get started with your Trezor hardware wallet

Follow these steps to download Trezor Suite, initialize your device, back up the recovery seed, and move your crypto safely.

Your private keys never leave the device. Transactions are signed on‑device.

Auditable code and frequent updates from a global community.

Use the desktop Suite for best UX or continue in your browser if preferred.

Step‑by‑step setup

Download Trezor Suite — Official downloads. Choose Windows, macOS, or Linux. Web version: suite.trezor.io/web.
Install & open — Run the installer and start Suite. If asked, allow USB and WebUSB permissions.
Initialize your device — Connect Trezor via USB. Follow onboarding to create a device PIN.
Back up the recovery seed — Write the words in order. Keep them offline and never share or type them into a computer or phone.
Optional: passphrase — Add a passphrase for hidden wallets if you need extra protection.
Receive a test transaction — In Suite, go to Accounts → Receive, verify the address on your device, and send a small amount to test.

Tip: After confirming the test deposit, you can transfer the rest of your funds from exchanges or other wallets.

Protect the recovery seed

Never photograph, scan, or store it in cloud notes. Consider a metal backup.

Verify on device

Always confirm addresses and amounts on the Trezor screen before approving.

Buy from trusted sources

Avoid second‑hand devices. Check anti‑tamper seals during unboxing.

Never share your seed or PIN. Trezor support will never ask for them.

What happens if I lose my Trezor?

Use your recovery seed to restore on a new, genuine device or on any compatible wallet. Keep the seed safe and offline.

Is the web version of Suite safe?

Yes, as long as you verify addresses and approve on the hardware device screen. The desktop app is generally recommended.

Which coins are supported?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC‑20 tokens, and many others through Trezor Suite and integrations. Check the latest list on the official site.

Can I use a passphrase?

Yes. A passphrase creates hidden wallets. Remember it well—losing the passphrase means losing access to those wallets.
