Step 1: Get Started with Your Trezor
If this is your first time setting up a Trezor device, follow the steps below carefully. The security of your digital assets depends on a proper and secure setup.
- **Connect your Trezor** to your computer via the USB cable.
- **Install Trezor Suite** (The official desktop application). We strongly recommend using the desktop app for the best security and user experience.
- **Follow the on-screen instructions** in Trezor Suite to install the latest firmware.
- **Create a new wallet** and write down your **Recovery Seed** (24 words) and keep it offline and secure. **DO NOT take a photo of it.**
Step 2: Learn About Your Recovery Seed
Your **Recovery Seed** (or 'Mnemonic Phrase') is the ultimate backup of your entire wallet. If your Trezor device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can use these 24 words to restore access to all your funds on a new Trezor or another compatible hardware wallet.
- **NEVER** store your seed digitally (on a computer, phone, or cloud service).
- **NEVER** share your seed with anyone, including Trezor support.
- **ALWAYS** write it down on the provided Recovery Seed card and store it in a secure location (e.g., a safe or fireproof box).
