Write it down offline
Use the backup method shown during setup. Store it somewhere only you can access.

Never share your words
Not with support, not with a friend, and never with a website or app.

Trust your device’s screen
Confirm important actions on your Trezor itself—not just on your computer.
Anyone asking for your recovery words is not helping you.

Helpful reminders for a confident first setup.
What is Trezor.io/Start?
It is the starting point for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet. Use the official Trezor start page to find the right setup instructions and download Trezor Suite from a trusted source.
Do I need to install an app to set up my Trezor?
Trezor Suite is the desktop and mobile companion app used to manage your device and crypto. Download it only from Trezor’s official website, and follow the instructions shown by your device.
What is a wallet backup and where should I keep it?
Your wallet backup is the recovery information that lets you restore access if your device is lost or damaged. Write it down offline and store it somewhere private and secure. Never photograph, share, or enter it into a website.
Will Trezor support ever ask for my recovery words?
No. Never type your recovery words into a website, share them with anyone, or enter them on a computer or phone. Only enter backup words on your Trezor device when the device itself instructs you to.
What if my device or computer does not connect?
Try a different USB cable or port, update Trezor Suite, and reconnect your device. If the problem continues, visit Trezor’s official support resources. Never follow setup links sent to you by strangers.
