Trezor.io/Start | Official Getting Started Guide™

Fast, secure, and simple — your Trezor Start walkthrough for setting up a hardware wallet and protecting crypto.

Welcome to Trezor Start

This Trezor.io/Start guide is the Official Getting Started Guide™ for Trezor Start users. It contains practical steps to initialize your Trezor hardware wallet, set a PIN, create a recovery seed, and connect to supported wallets. Whether you're using Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this Trezor Start content helps you secure your crypto quickly and confidently.

1

Buy authentic & inspect

Only purchase from official channels. When your Trezor arrives, inspect the packaging and tamper-evident seal. If anything looks tampered with, contact support instead of using the device. Remember: Trezor.io/Start is your official launchpad for setup and downloads.

2

Connect and open Trezor Start

Connect the device to your computer using the provided cable. Open a modern browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start. Follow the official prompts—never download random software. The Trezor Start flow will detect your device and guide you through the correct steps.

3

Install firmware

If firmware is missing or outdated, Trezor Start will prompt for an official firmware installation. Confirm firmware checks and verify fingerprints displayed on the device. Keeping firmware updated is essential—do it through Trezor.io/Start only.

4

Create PIN & wallet

Set a strong PIN directly on your device. The PIN prevents unauthorized access. Next, create a new wallet and the device will generate a recovery seed. Treat your seed as the single most important asset for recovery.

5

Backup your recovery seed

Write your recovery seed on official backup cards or a durable metal plate. Never store the seed digitally or share it. If you need a quick reminder, visit Trezor.io/Start for best practice tips on seed storage and passphrase use.

6

Connect apps & manage funds

Use the Trezor web or desktop interfaces to add accounts, receive crypto, and sign transactions. Your private keys remain on the device; interactions use secure signing, keeping keys offline and safe.

Smart safety tips for every Trezor Start user

  • Always use official resources like Trezor.io/Start for setup and firmware updates.
  • Never type the recovery seed into a phone or computer — keep it offline.
  • Consider a passphrase in addition to your seed for enhanced account privacy and security.
  • Test small transfers before moving large amounts to your Trezor cold storage.
  • Keep multiple offline backups in different secure locations.
