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

Setting up a hardware wallet for the first time is an important step toward managing digital assets securely. Trézor.io/Start™ is commonly used as a starting point for learning how to initialize a compatible Trezor device, install the required software, and follow the setup process. Before beginning, make sure you have your Trezor device, a compatible computer or mobile device, and a secure internet connection.

Begin Your Trezor Device Setup

The setup process starts by connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer or supported device. Follow the instructions displayed by the official Trezor software and verify that you are using the genuine Trezor website before entering or confirming any sensitive information.

For a guided overview of the process, visit Trezor.io/start. This page can help you understand the initial device-setup steps and identify the appropriate software required for your Trezor model.

Install and Connect the Required Software

After connecting your hardware wallet, the setup process may require compatible Trezor software. The software provides an interface for interacting with your hardware wallet, checking device status, and managing supported cryptocurrencies.

During installation, download software only from official Trezor sources. Avoid unofficial downloads, advertisements, pop-ups, or third-party websites claiming to provide Trezor setup tools. Keeping your software up to date can also help provide access to the latest supported features and security improvements.

You can return to Trezor.io/start whenever you need the official starting point for device setup instructions.

Protect Your Recovery Seed

One of the most important parts of initializing a hardware wallet is creating and protecting its recovery information. Depending on your device and setup process, Trezor may display a recovery seed that can be used to restore access to your wallet.

Write the recovery words down exactly as instructed and store them somewhere private and secure. Never photograph, email, upload, or enter your recovery seed into a website, online form, messaging application, or computer unless the official recovery procedure specifically requires it.

Your recovery seed should never be shared with another person. Anyone who obtains it may potentially gain access to the assets associated with that wallet.

For additional setup guidance, check Trezor.io/start and follow the instructions applicable to your specific device.

Verify Your Device Carefully

Security begins with verifying what you are using. When setting up your Trezor wallet, carefully review the information displayed on the device itself. Hardware-wallet transactions and security prompts should be checked directly on the device rather than relying solely on information shown on a computer screen.

If you receive an unexpected message requesting your recovery seed, PIN, password, or other confidential information, stop and verify the request through official Trezor support resources.

The official setup page at Trezor.io/start can be used as a reference when beginning or reviewing the setup procedure.

Start Managing Your Digital Assets

Once your device has been initialized and securely configured, you can use compatible Trezor software to access supported wallet features. Depending on your device and software version, you may be able to view balances, receive cryptocurrency, send transactions, and manage different supported assets.

Always review transaction details carefully before confirming a transfer. Check the recipient address and amount on your hardware device before approving a transaction.

Stay Secure After Setup

Setting up a Trezor device is only the beginning of maintaining wallet security. Keep your recovery seed offline, protect your device credentials, install updates from official sources, and remain cautious about phishing websites and fraudulent support messages.

When you need to revisit the official setup instructions, use Trezor.io/start rather than relying on links received through unsolicited messages.

A careful setup process helps you understand how your hardware wallet works while reducing common security risks. Take your time, verify every important instruction, and keep your recovery information private throughout the life of your wallet.
