Introduction to Trezor Device Setup
Trezor hardware wallets are designed to provide maximum security for cryptocurrencies. Starting up your device properly ensures that private keys remain offline and that your digital assets are safe from hacks or malware.
Downloading Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official companion application for managing your Trezor device. Download it only from the official Trezor Start page. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a web app.
Connecting Your Trezor Device

Securing Your Recovery Seed
Your 24-word recovery seed is the most critical part of securing your crypto assets. Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share it with anyone and never enter it into a computer or smartphone.
