FIRST, A QUICK CHECK

Three things to
have close by.

A few minutes of preparation makes setup easier—and helps you avoid common security mistakes.

01

Your Trezor device

Unbox your wallet and use the USB cable included with your device. Buy only from Trezor or an authorized reseller.

A computer or smartphone

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART

Your recovery
backup is everything.

Your recovery seed is the master backup to your wallet. Anyone who has it can access your crypto—so keep it private, offline, and in your control.

Learn about recovery seeds

Write it down by hand

Use the backup card or a secure offline method. Check every word and its order.

Store it somewhere private

Keep it safe from loss, damage, and anyone who shouldn’t have access.

Never share or photograph it

Trezor Support will never ask for your recovery seed. Don’t type it into a website, app, or computer.

Do I need to install Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official app for managing your Trezor wallet. Follow the instructions at trezor.io/start to use the desktop app or available web experience.

What if I lose my Trezor device?

Your recovery backup can restore access to your wallet on a compatible device. Keep the backup secure and never share it with anyone.

Can Trezor Support recover my recovery seed?

No. Your recovery seed is private and only you should ever have access to it. Support cannot recover or request it.

How do I know I'm on the real Trezor website?

Type trezor.io directly into your browser and check the URL carefully. Avoid links in unexpected messages, ads, or unsolicited support chats.
