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

Setting up a new hardware wallet is an important first step toward managing digital assets securely. Trézor.io/Start provides a convenient starting point for users who want to learn how to initialize their Trezor device, connect it to the appropriate software, and complete the essential security steps.

Getting Started With Your Trezor Device

Before beginning, make sure you have your Trezor hardware wallet, a compatible USB cable, and a trusted computer or mobile device. Use the official setup process rather than following instructions from unknown websites or messages.

Visit Trezor.io/start to begin the setup journey. The page can guide you through the initial steps required to connect and initialize your device. Follow each instruction carefully and avoid entering sensitive recovery information anywhere except where the official device setup specifically requires it.

Connect and Initialize Your Device

Connect your Trezor device using the supplied cable. Once connected, follow the on-screen instructions provided by the official Trezor software. Depending on the device model and software version, you may be asked to install or update the required firmware.

During initialization, you can create a new wallet or restore an existing one. If you are creating a new wallet, the device will generate recovery information. This information is extremely important because it may be required to recover access to your wallet.

For the official starting instructions, return to Trezor.io/start and follow the current guidance for your specific device model.

Protect Your Recovery Information

Your recovery seed is one of the most important security elements associated with your wallet. Write it down carefully and keep it in a secure offline location. Never share your recovery words with another person, website, application, or online support account.

Trezor will not need you to disclose your recovery phrase through ordinary customer-support messages. Be especially cautious of websites that imitate official pages and request private wallet information.

Create a PIN

A PIN can provide an additional layer of protection for your hardware wallet. During setup, your device may prompt you to establish a PIN according to the instructions displayed on the device.

Choose a PIN that is difficult for others to guess and avoid writing it next to your recovery information. When entering sensitive information, pay attention to the device itself and verify that you are following the instructions displayed by the hardware wallet.

Complete the Setup

After the security steps are finished, your Trezor device can be connected with compatible wallet software for managing supported digital assets. Review the information shown on your hardware device before approving transactions.

If you need to revisit the setup process, Trezor.io/start can serve as your reference point for official setup guidance and device-specific instructions.
