Step-by-step: Setup & secure (detailed)

Step 1 — Download and verify: visit the official developer website, download the latest Trezor Suite installer for your OS, and verify PGP/signature or checksum. This prevents tampered installers and is a simple but vital step.

Step 2 — Initialize: connect your device, follow the on-screen instructions to set a PIN, and generate a 12/24-word recovery phrase. Write the phrase down on paper (or a metal backup). Never take screenshots or store the phrase digitally.

Step 3 — Backup and test: once you have the seed written, test a small transaction and try restoring the wallet on a different device using the recovery phrase (test restores ensure your backup is correct).

Step 4 — Everyday use: use Trezor Suite to manage accounts, check balances, and authorize transactions. Approve each transaction carefully on the device screen to avoid phishing pages that attempt to spoof amounts or addresses.

Step 5 — Recovery & emergency plan: store backups in multiple secure locations, and create a clear inheritance plan for long-term access to funds. Consider a sealed emergency packet for trusted executors.
