Trezor.io/Start — Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor®

Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is the first step toward managing your cryptocurrency with greater control. Whether you have purchased a new Trezor Safe device or are preparing an existing wallet, the official setup process is designed to guide you through installation, device verification, wallet creation, and backup.

To begin, always use the official Trezor website and Trezor Suite rather than downloading wallet software from an unknown source. You can start the setup process through Trezor.io/Start, where Trezor provides access to the official Trezor Suite application and setup instructions. Trezor currently recommends using Trezor Suite for getting started with a new device. T

What Is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is the official starting point for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet. The page guides new users toward Trezor Suite, the software used to connect with and configure a Trezor device.

Instead of searching for unofficial downloads, begin directly at Trezor.io/Start. From there, you can download Trezor Suite for desktop or continue with the web-based experience where supported.

The setup process generally involves connecting your Trezor, installing or updating firmware when prompted, creating or recovering a wallet, and completing your wallet backup. Trezor states that the initial setup typically takes around 15 minutes, although the exact process can vary by device model.

How to Start Your Trezor Device

Before beginning, make sure you have your Trezor device, the appropriate USB cable if required, the wallet backup cards supplied with your device, and a pen. Depending on the model, mobile setup may also be available.

1. Visit the Official Start Page

Open Trezor.io/Start and follow the instructions to obtain Trezor Suite. Using the official source is important because cryptocurrency users can be targeted by fake applications and websites designed to obtain sensitive wallet information.

If your new Trezor device arrives with firmware already installed, stop and check the situation before continuing. Trezor says its devices are distributed without firmware installed, and the setup process is intended to install the appropriate firmware during onboarding.

2. Connect and Verify Your Device

After opening Trezor Suite, connect your hardware wallet and follow the on-screen instructions. Depending on the model, Trezor Suite may perform device security or authentication checks.

If a security warning appears, do not ignore it. Check the official Trezor support documentation before proceeding. Trezor's security guidance explains that authentication checks and firmware verification are part of the device-security process

3. Create or Recover Your Wallet

During setup, Trezor Suite will give you the option to create a new wallet or, when appropriate, recover an existing wallet using its wallet backup.

If you are creating a new wallet, your Trezor device generates the wallet backup during setup. The number of words can depend on the device and backup standard. Trezor currently documents 12-, 20-, and 24-word wallet backups across its devices and standard

4. Protect Your Wallet Backup

Your wallet backup is one of the most important parts of the setup process. It can be used to restore access to your cryptocurrency if your hardware wallet is lost, damaged, or reset.

Write the words down exactly as displayed by the Trezor device and keep the backup offline in a secure location. Never photograph it, store it in cloud storage, or enter it into an unfamiliar website, application, form, or message.

Trezor specifically warns that your wallet backup should only be entered when instructed by the physical Trezor devi

Set Up Your PIN and Finish

After completing the wallet backup, your Trezor setup may prompt you to configure a PIN and complete additional security steps. Follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite and, most importantly, verify sensitive information on the hardware wallet itself.

Once setup is complete, you can use Trezor Suite to manage supported crypto accounts and transactions. If you plan to transfer cryptocurrency from an exchange or another wallet, carefully verify the receiving address before confirming a transaction.

For a direct starting point, return to Trezor.io/Start whenever you need the official onboarding page.

Trezor.io/Start Security Checklist

Before considering your setup complete, remember these essential precautions:

Use the official Trezor website and Trezor Suite.
Check your device and packaging for signs of tampering.
Never share your wallet backup with anyone.
Never enter your wallet backup into a website or computer unless the physical Trezor device specifically instructs you to do so.
Keep your backup offline and protected from loss or damage.
Pay attention to firmware and security warnings shown by Trezor Suite.
Verify cryptocurrency addresses carefully before approving transactions.

Setting up a hardware wallet should be a deliberate process rather than something rushed. By starting from the official Trezor.io/Start page and following the instructions shown in Trezor Suite and on your device, you can establish your wallet while keeping the most important security information under your control.
