1. Download Trezor Suite
Get the latest Trezor Suite desktop app or open the web app. Desktop is recommended for full functionality and offline protection. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
2. Install the app

Security & best practices
Hardware wallets provide strong protection, but correct handling of your device and recovery seed is essential.
- Never share your recovery seed with anyone, and never enter it into a website or app.
- Only download Trezor Suite from official sources; verify signatures when applicable.
- Keep firmware and Suite updated. Use offline or air-gapped practices for very large holdings.
Expert onboarding & support
If you prefer guided setup, schedule a 1:1 onboarding session with a Trezor expert for live walkthroughs and personalized assistance. Expert sessions require your device to be present during the call. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
