Official Hardware Security Checklist & Guide
Understand critical device preparation, official software verification, and seed phrase preservation before initializing your hardware wallet. Follow verified security practices step-by-step.
Independent Security Resource: This site is an educational checklist. We never request recovery seeds, PINs, or private keys. Never enter your secret recovery phrase into any web browser or application under any circumstance.
PHASE 01: INSPECTION
Verify that your hardware package arrived with untampered holographic seals intact. A new device never arrives pre-configured or with pre-printed seed cards.
PHASE 02: SUITE APP
Download Trezor Suite exclusively from official vendor domains. Verify digital signatures or checksums before running setup to prevent malicious impostor programs.
PHASE 03: OFFLINE BACKUP
Record words generated on the hardware display exclusively onto physical paper or steel. Never photograph, type, or store seed words on any digital or cloud device.
