Trezor.io/start — Getting Started With Your Trezor Device
Trezor.io/start is the official starting point for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet. It guides users through connecting their device, installing the appropriate Trezor software, updating firmware when required, and completing the initial wallet setup.
Before beginning, make sure you are using the official website address and avoid entering your wallet recovery seed, PIN, or other sensitive information into unofficial websites.
1. Connect Your Trezor
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Open the official Trezor setup page and follow the instructions displayed for your device.
2. Install the Required Software
The setup process may direct you to install or use Trezor Suite, Trezor's wallet application. Download software only from Trezor's official channels and verify the website address carefully.
3. Update Firmware
If your device requires a firmware update, follow the on-screen instructions. Keeping the device software current can provide important security and compatibility improvements.
4. Create or Recover a Wallet
During setup, you can create a new wallet or recover an existing wallet when appropriate. If you create a new wallet, your Trezor will generate a recovery seed.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Trezor support should not ask you to provide it.
5. Protect Your Recovery Seed
Write the recovery seed down using the recommended offline method and store it somewhere secure. Anyone who obtains the recovery seed may be able to access the associated cryptocurrency wallet.
Official Website
Use the official Trezor website for setup: https://trezor.io/start
Important Security Tips
Check the domain carefully before entering information.
Never type your recovery seed into a website or send it to someone claiming to provide support.
Avoid downloading wallet software from advertisements or unofficial sources.
Keep your Trezor device and recovery information physically secure.
Verify transaction details on the Trezor device itself before confirming transactions.
