Step-by-Step Trezor Hardware Wallet Setup
Unboxing & Initial Checks
- Check packaging and tamper-evident holographic seal
- If seal is damaged or box looks tampered, do not use—contact Trezor Support[web:5]
- Locate your device, USB cable, and Recovery Seed cards
Connect & Begin Setup in Trezor Suite
- Open the Trezor Suite app and plug in your Trezor device
- Opt in or out of anonymous data collection (optional)
- Click “Set up my Trezor” in Trezor Suite
- Device will prompt firmware installation—click “Install firmware”, then “Continue”
- Choose “Create new wallet” (for new users) or “Recover wallet” (restore from backup)
- Select “Standard seed backup” (default) or the advanced Shamir backup flow
Seed Backup Creation—Critical for Security
- Read on-screen instructions about Recovery Seed
- Device generates a 12-word recovery seed (Trezor Model T default) one word at a time
- Write each word on the Recovery Seed card in exact order—never make a digital copy
- Confirm instructions and seed phrase understanding using device touchscreen
- After recording the seed, verify and confirm words as prompted by device[web:5]
Store your Recovery Seed offline in a secure location—never share or upload it. The seed is the single point of access to your wallet and crypto assets.
Finalize Setup: PIN & Wallet Activation

- Choose and activate cryptocurrencies for your wallet (can be changed in Settings)
- Complete setup and access Trezor Suite dashboard
Backup & Security Best Practices
Protect Your Recovery Seed
Never share your seed phrase. Write it offline, keep it secure, and never make a digital/photo copy. Losing this backup means losing access to your crypto—forever[web:5].
PIN and Biometric Security
- Choose a strong PIN—avoid birthdays or simple repeating numbers
- Enable biometric unlock if supported (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello) for quick access[web:10]
- For maximum protection, use a passphrase wallet in addition to your PIN and seed phrase
Safe Recovery
- To recover a wallet, follow Trezor Suite and device instructions exactly
- Never enter your seed phrase on any website, computer, or device except Trezor hardware itself[web:5]
