Connect Your Device
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer.

Create Wallet Backup
Write down your 12-24 word recovery phrase on the provided card. This is crucial for recovering your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Trezor login and security.
For first-time login, visit trezor.io/start, download Trezor Suite, connect your device, and follow the setup wizard to create your wallet backup and PIN. The process takes about 15 minutes and guides you through each step including firmware installation and security setup.
No, you need the physical Trezor device to access your wallet as private keys never leave the device. However, you can use your recovery phrase to restore access on a new device if needed. Never enter your recovery phrase on any computer or website - only directly on a Trezor device during the recovery process.
Try these troubleshooting steps: 1) Use a different USB cable/port, 2) Reinstall Trezor Bridge (the communication tool between browser and device), 3) Restart your computer, 4) Check for firmware updates in Trezor Suite, 5) Try on a different computer to isolate the issue. If problems persist, contact Trezor support.
No, Trezor works with many third-party wallets like Electrum, Exodus, and MetaMask through the Trezor Bridge, but Trezor Suite offers the most complete and secure experience with all features properly integrated. Third-party wallets may offer specialized functionality but may not support all security features.
You should install firmware updates as soon as they're available, as they often contain important security improvements. Trezor Suite will notify you when updates are available. Before updating, ensure you have your recovery phrase accessible as some updates may require wallet restoration. Updates typically take just a few minutes.
Android users can connect via USB for full functionality including sending transactions. iOS users can only track balances with view-only mode in Trezor Suite Lite due to Apple's restrictions on USB accessories. For full security, transactions should always be confirmed on the Trezor device's screen regardless of platform.
