Start Your Trezor Setup at Trezor.io/Start
The safest way to begin is by visiting the official Trezor.io/Start page. From there, you can download the official Trezor Suite application for desktop or continue with the supported web experience. Trezor Suite provides the interface you use to connect your hardware wallet and manage supported crypto assets.

Before connecting your device, make sure you have your Trezor hardware wallet, the appropriate USB cable, the wallet backup cards supplied with the device, and a pen. Depending on your model and setup method, you may also need a compatible computer or mobile device.

Download and Install Trezor Suite
After opening Trezor.io/Start, download Trezor Suite for your computer if you want the desktop experience. Install the application and launch it. Trezor recommends the installed desktop or mobile application for most users, while the web version can be useful when installing software is not practical

Once Trezor Suite is open, connect your Trezor device. The application will guide you through the setup process and show the relevant security checks before you continue.

Connect and Verify Your Device
Connecting your Trezor is an important part of the initial setup. Trezor Suite provides a device security check and, on supported models, an authenticity check designed to help confirm that the device is genuine. Current setup guides for Trezor Safe models explain that the authenticity process can include a cryptographic verification of the devi

If your packaging or device looks unusual, stop and investigate before proceeding. You can use Trezor's official support resources for guidance on authenticating your device and resolving setup concerns.
Install the Firmware
New Trezor devices are shipped without firmware as part of the security-oriented setup process. During initialization, Trezor Suite guides you through installing the appropriate firmware. The device then restarts when the installation is compl

Do not disconnect the device while firmware installation is in progress. Following the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite helps ensure that the setup process is completed corre
ctly. TTrezor
You can also read the official Trezor Safe 3 setup guide or the relevant setup guide for your specific model before starting.
Create Your Wallet and Backup
After firmware installation, Trezor Suite takes you through wallet creation and backup. Your wallet backup is extremely important because it can be used to recover access to your wallet if the physical device becomes unavailable. Trezor's documentation refers to this as a wallet backup; older materials may call it a recovery
seed. TTrezor+1
Write the backup words down exactly as instructed and keep them offline in a secure location. Never share your wallet backup with another person, and never enter the words into a website, message, or unsolicited application.
For more information, use our wallet backup guide and learn why protecting your backup is just as important as protecting the Trezor device itself.
Set a Strong PIN
Your Trezor PIN provides another layer of protection for the physical device. During setup, follow the instructions shown by Trezor Suite and enter the PIN directly on your Trezor when prompted.
Avoid predictable PINs such as simple sequences or personally meaningful numbers. Keep your PIN private and do not disclose it to anyone claiming to provide technical support.
Once your PIN and wallet backup have been completed, Trezor Suite can take you to the wallet dashboard, where you can begin managing supported
assets. TTrezor
Stay Safe After Starting Up
Security does not end after setup. Always make sure you are using official Trezor software and verify website addresses carefully. Trezor's official web-app guidance specifically warns users to check that the address is suite.trezor.io before connecting and states that Trezor Suite will never ask you to enter your wallet backup into the
browser. TTrezor
