Welcome — this page walks you through the essential steps to get your Trezor® hardware wallet up and running. Following the official flow at trezor.io/start ensures you initialize securely, preserve your recovery seed, and connect to the right apps for managing crypto safely.
Before you begin, gather these items: your Trezor® device in its sealed box, a USB (or USB-C) cable, a secure flat surface, and pen/paper for the recovery seed. Do not take photos or store it online — offline writing is safest.
Visit trezor.io/start on a trusted computer. The page detects your Trezor® model and guides you to install the companion software. Always use the official link.
Important: Initialization is confirmed on the device itself. Your computer only acts as a bridge — trust what’s on the device screen.
Choose Create new wallet unless restoring. The device will generate a recovery seed — write down each word in order, never type it online.
Pick a PIN that is memorable but not guessable. A passphrase works like a hidden 25th word, creating a secret wallet. Warning: lost passphrases cannot be recovered.
Open Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet to pair your device. Make a small test transaction first. Always verify addresses on your device screen.
Store your recovery seed securely. Keep firmware updated from trezor.io/start. Avoid unofficial downloads. If compromised, move funds to a fresh wallet immediately.
