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

Setting up a new Trezor hardware wallet is an important first step toward managing and protecting your cryptocurrency. Whether you are using your device for the first time or upgrading to a newer model, completing the initial setup correctly helps establish a secure environment for your digital assets.

The official Trezor.io/start setup page provides access to Trezor Suite and step-by-step instructions for initializing your hardware wallet. With a few simple steps, you can connect your device, install the necessary firmware, create a wallet backup, and configure essential security features.

1. Visit Trezor.io/Start to Begin

Before connecting your hardware wallet, make sure you are using the official Trezor website. Open your browser and navigate to https://trezor.io/start. This page provides the official Trezor Suite download and browser-based access options.

For a safe starting point, visit Trezor.io/start — Official Device Setup and follow the instructions displayed on the website. Avoid unofficial downloads, suspicious advertisements, and third-party setup links.

2. Download and Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official application used to interact with your hardware wallet. It allows you to manage supported cryptocurrencies, check balances, receive funds, and authorize transactions.

On the setup page, select the appropriate desktop download for your operating system or choose the browser-based option if supported. Follow the installation instructions and open Trezor Suite once the process is complete.

For additional guidance, return to Trezor.io/start to access the official onboarding process.

3. Connect and Verify Your Trezor Device

Use the compatible USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer. Open Trezor Suite and wait for the application to recognize your hardware wallet.

Before proceeding, check that your device and packaging appear genuine and have not been tampered with. Follow any authenticity verification instructions displayed by Trezor Suite or on your device.

If the application requests permission to communicate with your hardware wallet, follow the prompts carefully. Never approve unexpected requests or connect your device through an unfamiliar website.

4. Install Firmware and Create Your Wallet

A new Trezor device may require firmware installation before it can be used. Trezor Suite guides you through downloading and installing the appropriate firmware.

Keep your device connected until installation finishes. Once the firmware is ready, follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your wallet.

During this process, your device will guide you through creating a wallet backup. Carefully write down the recovery words displayed on the hardware wallet itself and store them somewhere private and secure.

Important: Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Trezor support will never ask you to enter your recovery words into a website, email, or computer application.

5. Configure Your Security Settings

After creating your wallet, configure a PIN to help prevent unauthorized physical access. Depending on your device model, additional security features may also be available.

Choose a PIN that is difficult for others to guess. Keep your recovery backup separate from your device and protect it against theft, damage, and unauthorized access.

For further setup assistance, use the official Trezor device initialization guide.

6. Start Managing Your Cryptocurrency

Once the setup is complete, you can explore the Trezor Suite dashboard. Add supported cryptocurrency accounts, generate receiving addresses, review balances, and manage transactions.

Always verify receiving addresses and transaction details directly on your Trezor device before approving a transaction. Confirm that the cryptocurrency and network match the intended transfer.
