A reliable USB cable and a computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux. Avoid using unknown public computers or unsafe networks. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
You will be asked to write down your recovery seed (12‑ or 24‑word phrase). Use pen and paper or a metal backup. Never store seed digitally or photograph it. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Set aside about 10‑20 minutes when you won’t be disturbed. Make sure you're in a secure location with stable internet. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Open your browser and navigate to https://trezor.io/start. Confirm that it is correct by checking the padlock icon, the full domain name, no typos. Avoid copied links from emails unless verified. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Select your device—Model One or Model T. The setup instructions may differ for each (buttons vs touch, etc.). The portal will adapt based on your choice. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
From the start page, download the Trezor Suite app for your operating system. This app lets you manage your wallet, update firmware, send/receive assets, etc. If your browser doesn’t support WebUSB, you may need Trezor Bridge. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Use the USB cable to plug in your device. Depending on model, you’ll follow prompts on the device and in Suite. Allow any permissions needed. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
If needed, Suite will detect if the firmware is out of date or missing. Confirm to download and install the latest signed firmware. Keep the device connected during the process. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
If you're new, create a new wallet. If you already have a recovery seed, use the “Restore wallet” option. Always follow instructions on the device to verify your seed. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
The recovery phrase is your ultimate backup. Write each word clearly, in order, on a recovery card. Store it safely offline (e.g. safe, safe‑deposit box). Never store digital copies. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
You’ll choose a PIN on your device. Then optionally enable passphrase (acts like an extra word) for added security. Choose something memorable yet hard to guess. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
