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

Setting up a hardware wallet for the first time is an important step toward taking control of your cryptocurrency. Trezor.io/Start provides the official starting point for setting up a new Trezor device and connecting it with Trezor Suite. The guided process helps you install the required software, connect your hardware wallet, verify the device, install firmware, and create your wallet.

Whether you have purchased a Trezor Safe 7, Trezor Safe 5, Trezor Safe 3, or another supported Trezor model, starting from the official Trezor setup page helps you follow the correct setup process.

Get Started With Trezor.io/Start

The easiest way to begin is to visit Trezor.io/Start. The official page provides access to Trezor Suite and instructions for getting your device ready. Trezor recommends using the desktop application for the best experience, although supported users can also continue through the web application. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1288,"end_idx":1320,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app?utm_source=chatgpt.com","https://trezor.io/start","https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Trezor Suite App (Official) | Congrats on your new Trezor | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"title":"Use Trezor Suite in your browser (web app) | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app?utm_source=chatgpt.com","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":0},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":2}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

After opening Trezor.io/Start, download Trezor Suite if you are using a computer. Install the application and launch it. You will then be guided through the next stages of your hardware-wallet setup.

Always make sure that you are visiting the genuine Trezor website before downloading software. Avoid unknown websites, suspicious advertisements, or unsolicited links that claim to provide Trezor Suite.

Connect Your Trezor Device

After installing Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor hardware wallet using the appropriate cable or supported connection method. Trezor Suite will recognize the device and guide you through the initial setup.

For supported devices, the setup includes a device security check. This provides an opportunity to confirm that the device is genuine before you continue. If anything about a new device looks unexpected, stop and consult Trezor's official guidance rather than continuing with the setup. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2257,"end_idx":2289,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-3/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-3","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-3/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-3?utm_source=chatgpt.com","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-5/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-5","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-5/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-5?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Get started with the Trezor Safe 3 | Trezor Knowledge Base | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-3/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-3?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"title":"Get started with the Trezor Safe 5 | Trezor Knowledge Base | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-5/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-5?utm_source=chatgpt.com","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":5},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":6}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

If you need model-specific instructions, the official Trezor device guides provide step-by-step information for individual Trezor products.

Install Trezor Firmware

A new Trezor device may require firmware installation before it can be initialized. Trezor Suite guides you through this process and provides the appropriate firmware options for your device.

Follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite and keep your device connected while the installation is taking place. After the firmware process is completed, your Trezor can continue to the wallet setup stage.

Some Trezor devices offer different firmware choices, such as Standard or Bitcoin-only firmware. Choose the option that matches how you intend to use your hardware wallet.

Using the official software is important because firmware is a fundamental part of your device's security. Do not attempt to install firmware from an unofficial source.

Create Your Wallet

After firmware installation, Trezor Suite guides you through creating a new wallet. During this stage, you will also create your wallet backup.

Your wallet backup is extremely important. It is the information that can be used to recover access to your wallet if your Trezor device is lost, damaged, or otherwise unavailable. Trezor's current Safe Family devices use Single-share Backup by default, while supported devices can also offer other backup configurations. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":3748,"end_idx":3767,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/single-share-backup-on-trezor","https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/single-share-backup-on-trezor?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Single-share Backup on Trezor | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/single-share-backup-on-trezor?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":4}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Write your backup information carefully on the supplied backup material and store it in a secure location. Never share your wallet backup with anyone.

Most importantly, never enter your backup words into a website, email form, computer application, or chat window simply because someone asks for them. Trezor specifically warns users that wallet backup information should not be entered into a browser or app. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":4184,"end_idx":4216,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/advanced-wallets/recover-a-wallet-with-multi-share-backup","https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/advanced-wallets/recover-a-wallet-with-multi-share-backup?utm_source=chatgpt.com","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Use Trezor Suite in your browser (web app) | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"title":"Recovering a wallet with Multi-share Backup | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/advanced-wallets/recover-a-wallet-with-multi-share-backup?utm_source=chatgpt.com","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":2},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":7}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Protect Your Device With a PIN

During setup, your Trezor may also guide you through establishing a PIN. The PIN helps protect the physical device against unauthorized access.

Choose a PIN that is not obvious or easy for another person to guess. Keep it private and do not share it with anyone claiming to provide technical support.

Remember that your PIN and wallet backup have different functions. Your PIN protects access to the device, while the wallet backup is critical for restoring the wallet.

Begin Managing Your Cryptocurrency

Once the setup is complete, you can use Trezor Suite to manage your supported cryptocurrency accounts and transactions. The application provides a central interface where you can connect your Trezor, view your portfolio, and perform supported wallet operations. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":5148,"end_idx":5168,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/getting-to-know-trezor-suite","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/getting-to-know-trezor-suite?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Getting to know Trezor Suite | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/getting-to-know-trezor-suite?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":14}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

If you are new to Trezor Suite, the official Trezor Suite guide can help you understand the dashboard, accounts, settings, and available features.

Before sending cryptocurrency, carefully review transaction details and confirm important information on your Trezor device. Taking a few extra moments to verify an address or transaction can help prevent costly mistakes.

Stay Secure After Setup

Completing Trezor.io/Start is only the beginning of responsible hardware-wallet use. Keep your Trezor device and wallet backup protected, install software only from official Trezor sources, and remain alert for phishing attempts.

A legitimate support representative should never need you to reveal your wallet backup. If a website or message asks you to type your recovery information into a computer, stop immediately and verify the request through official Trezor resources.

For troubleshooting and security information, use the official Trezor Support and Guides.
