3. Download Trezor Suite

From the start page, you’ll be guided to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop app for managing your wallet on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Do not install alternatives from third-party sources — only use the links provided on https://trezor.io/start. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

4. Install Firmware and Create Wallet

After connecting your Trezor via USB, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install firmware if needed. Then you can create a new wallet, during which your device will generate a 12-, 18- or 24-word recovery seed phrase. Always write this down offline and store it securely. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Essential Security Practices

Security doesn’t stop at setup. After installing your device, you can protect it further with a PIN code and optional passphrase. Never take pictures or store your recovery seed digitally — keep it offline and protected in a private, secure place. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Most importantly, only ever download software, firmware, and setup tools through https://trezor.io/start. Fake sites often mimic the Trezor branding to fool users into sharing sensitive information or installing malware. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Advanced Features and Ongoing Use

Once your wallet is configured, you can use Trezor Suite to add multiple cryptocurrency accounts, send and receive funds, and integrate with popular third-party services — all while keeping private keys isolated in your hardware wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Regularly check https://trezor.io/start for firmware updates and follow official guidance to maintain the highest level of security. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
