๐ฆ Step 1: Inspect Your Package

๐ Step 2: Download Trezor Suite
Go to the official website at trezor.io/start to download the latest version of Trezor Suite. This software manages your wallet and connects your device to the blockchain.

Alternatively, you can use the Trezor Web Suite for browser-based access.
๐ป Step 3: Install and Launch Trezor Suite
After downloading, install the application and open it. You will be greeted by an intuitive interface guiding you through the setup.
๐ง Follow the prompts to:
- Connect your Trezor device via USB
- Update your device firmware if needed
- Initialize your wallet by creating a new seed or restoring an existing one
๐ Step 4: Create Your Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed is the most critical component for securing your crypto assets. It acts as a backup to restore your wallet in case your device is lost or damaged.
- Write down the 12 or 24 words exactly as they appear
- Store this recovery card somewhere safe and offline
- Never take pictures or save your seed digitally
๐ก๏ธ Tip: Use a fireproof and waterproof safe or a metal backup device to protect your seed.
๐ Step 5: Secure Your Device with a PIN
Choose a PIN code for your Trezor device to prevent unauthorized access. This PIN will be required every time the device is connected.
- PIN length ranges from 4 to 9 digits
- The PIN entry order changes randomly on the device for extra security
- Make sure to memorize your PIN; it cannot be recovered if lost
๐ก๏ธ Step 6: Optional Passphrase Protection
For enhanced security, consider enabling the passphrase feature. This acts like a 25th recovery word, adding a hidden wallet layer.
- Passphrases are case-sensitive
- You must remember the passphrase exactly or risk losing access
- Passphrase wallets are ideal for hiding funds or creating multiple wallets
โ ๏ธ Warning: If you forget your passphrase, Trezor support cannot help recover it.
