Starting® Up® Your® Device®

Welcome to the official starting point for your Trezor hardware wallet. At Trezor.io/Start, you’ll find everything you need to set up your device, secure your recovery seed, and take full control of your digital assets. Begin your crypto journey with confidence, knowing you’re following the safest, most trusted process in the industry [[5]][[8]].

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Trezor

1. Visit the Official Site

Always type trezor.io/start directly into your browser or use a trusted bookmark. This ensures you’re on the official, secure site and not a phishing copy [[3]].

2. Download Trezor Suite

Download the official Trezor Suite app for your operating system. This is your secure portal for managing your crypto, updating firmware, and more [[7]].

3. Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor into your computer using the supplied USB cable. Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and guide you through the next steps.

4. Create a New Wallet

Choose Create new wallet. Your Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 words depending on your model and settings). Write each word by hand on the provided recovery card—never store it digitally [[1]].

5. Confirm Your Recovery Seed

Carefully confirm each word on your device. This step ensures you’ve written the seed correctly and can recover your wallet if needed.

6. Set a Strong PIN

Choose a secure PIN code for your device. This adds an extra layer of protection in case your Trezor is lost or stolen.

7. Access Your Wallet

Once setup is complete, you can access your wallet, receive coins, and start exploring the world of crypto with confidence.

Security: Your Top Priority

Never Share Your Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed is the key to your crypto. Never enter it on any website or share it with anyone. Trezor staff will never ask for it [[1]].

Store Your Seed Offline
Write your seed on the provided card and keep it in a safe, offline location. For extra safety, consider a fireproof safe or a steel backup [[3]].

Beware of Phishing
Only use the official URL: trezor.io/start. Bookmark it and never follow links from emails or messages [[3]].

Keep Firmware Updated
Regularly update your Trezor’s firmware via Trezor Suite to benefit from the latest security enhancements [[7]].

Pro Tips for a Smooth Start

Test Your Recovery
After setup, use the “Check backup” feature in Trezor Suite to verify your recovery seed—without exposing it online.

Label Your Device
Give your Trezor a unique name in Trezor Suite. This helps you identify it if you use multiple devices.

Enable Passphrase (Advanced)
For extra security, enable the passphrase feature. This creates a hidden wallet accessible only with your secret phrase.

Stay Informed
Follow official Trezor channels for updates, security alerts, and new features.
