Trezor.io/Start | Getting Started With Secure Device Setup

Setting up a new hardware wallet should be simple, secure, and easy to understand. Trezor.io/Start is the official starting point for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet and accessing Trezor Suite. The setup process helps you connect your device, install the required firmware, create your wallet, and protect your wallet backup.

For a secure beginning, always use the official Trezor.io/Start page rather than downloading Trezor software from unknown websites.

What You Need Before Starting

Before beginning the setup, have your Trezor device, the supplied USB cable, wallet backup cards, and a pen ready. Trezor's official setup guides indicate that the initial process generally takes around 15 minutes, depending on the device and setup method. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1207,"end_idx":1239,"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-7/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-7","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-7/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-7?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Get started with the Trezor Safe 7 | Trezor Knowledge Base | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-7/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-7?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"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","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":1},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":3}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"fallback_items":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

It is also important to purchase your device from Trezor or an authorized seller. Trezor recommends checking the packaging and device for signs of tampering before proceeding. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1417,"end_idx":1436,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/support/troubleshooting/device-issues/is-my-device-safe-to-use","https://trezor.io/support/troubleshooting/device-issues/is-my-device-safe-to-use?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Is my device safe to use? | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/support/troubleshooting/device-issues/is-my-device-safe-to-use?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":6}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"fallback_items":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start

Begin by opening Trezor.io/Start. The official page provides access to Trezor Suite and guides you through the initial setup process. Trezor currently offers the option to download Trezor Suite for desktop or continue with its browser-based experience. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1756,"end_idx":1775,"safe_urls":["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,"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":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":0}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"fallback_items":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Downloading software through the official Trezor website helps reduce the risk of accidentally installing counterfeit or modified applications.

Step 2: Install and Connect Trezor Suite

After installing Trezor Suite, open the application and connect your hardware wallet using the appropriate cable. Trezor Suite will recognize the device and guide you through the setup procedure.

During setup, your Trezor device may require firmware installation. Trezor devices are shipped without firmware, and the official setup process guides you through installing the appropriate firmware. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2364,"end_idx":2396,"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,"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":3},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":4}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"fallback_items":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

For another quick route to the official setup instructions, use Trezor.io/Start and follow the instructions displayed for your device.

Step 3: Verify Your Device and Create a Wallet

Device verification is an important part of the setup process. Depending on your Trezor model, Trezor Suite can perform authenticity and security checks before you continue.

Once verification is complete, Trezor Suite guides you through creating a new wallet or recovering an existing wallet. If you are creating a new wallet, carefully follow the instructions shown directly on your Trezor device.

Your wallet backup is especially important. It is the information that can be used to restore access to your wallet, so it should be written down accurately and kept private and offline. Never share your wallet backup with another person or enter it into an unknown website.

Step 4: Protect Your Trezor

After creating your wallet, configure the available security features, including your device PIN where applicable. Keep the physical Trezor device and wallet backup in secure locations.

Avoid entering your wallet backup into websites, emails, messages, or forms claiming to provide technical support. If something appears unusual during setup, stop and consult official Trezor support documentation.

You can return to Trezor.io/Start whenever you need the official starting point for Trezor setup and software access.

Start Using Your Trezor Securely

Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite provides an interface for managing supported crypto assets, viewing accounts, and sending or receiving transactions. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":4068,"end_idx":4087,"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,"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":8}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"fallback_items":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

For new users, taking a few extra minutes to verify the device, secure the wallet backup, and use only official Trezor software can make the setup process more straightforward.
