š ļø Step-by-Step: From Unboxing to Wallet Ready

3. Download the Official Software
From that start page youāll be prompted to download the Trezor Suite app ā the official interface to manage your wallet on Windows, macOS, or Linux. This is the safest way to interact with your Trezor device. Trzeo
4. Connect Your Device
Use the included USB cable to plug your Trezor into your computer or laptop. The Suite app will detect your hardware and guide you through installing the latest firmware if needed. io-strt-trezar.framer.media
5. Create or Restore Your Wallet
On first use, youāll be given the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed. If creating new, your device generates a 12ā24-word recovery phrase. Never enter this on your computer ā write it down physically on the paper cards included, or use a metal backup plate for long-term protection. trezor-io-strt-faq.framer.ai
6. Set a PIN

7. Your Wallet Is Ready!
Once set up, Trezor Suite lets you view balances, send and receive coins, and choose optional security features like passphrases or Shamir backup. Trezor Start
ā ļø Critical Security Tips
Even after setup, these best practices matter:
- Never store your recovery seed on your phone, computer, or the cloud ā only write it down offline. trezor-io-strt-faq.framer.ai
- Never enter your seed phrase into any website or app. A legitimate setup will only show it on your Trezor device. Ghost
- Always bookmark trezor.io/start so you avoid fake sites that mimic the name. trezor-io-start-help-public-faq.typedream.app
- Be wary of scam links in ads or phishing emails claiming to help with setup ā these are common. Ghost
š Why This Setup Matters
Unlike hot wallets or custodial exchanges ā where keys live on servers ā a Trezor hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline. They remain inside the secure hardware element, and every transaction you make must be physically confirmed on the device itself. That means even if malware infects your computer, your keys canāt be stolen remotely.
