Use the USB cable provided to connect your Trézor® device to your computer or smartphone. If prompted, install Trézor Suite, the official desktop and browser-based app for managing your crypto assets securely.
Tip: Always download software directly from the official Trézor Suite page.
Once connected, your device may require a firmware update. Always update to the latest version to maintain the highest level of security. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
After installation, you will be prompted to create a new wallet. Trézor® will generate a 12-word or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is your ultimate backup — store it securely and never share it online or with anyone.
For added security, consider storing your recovery seed in a fireproof and waterproof solution like the Trézor Cryptosteel
Set a strong PIN code for your device. This prevents unauthorized physical access. Choose a PIN that's easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
For maximum security, enable the passphrase feature. This adds a custom word or sentence to your recovery seed, creating an extra layer of encryption.
