Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device® — Official Getting Started Guide

A clear, concise HTML presentation to help you initialize, secure, and start using your Trezor hardware wallet. Keyword: Trezor.io/start.

Overview

Welcome — this presentation walks through the essential steps to set up your Trezor device safely. The instructions are device-agnostic where possible: you'll learn how to unbox, initialize, create a backup, use Trezor Suite, and follow security best practices.

Why use a Trezor hardware wallet?

Quick setup — Step-by-step

1. Unbox & inspect

What to look for

Confirm tamper-evident seals and compare device images with the official photos on trezor.io/start.

2. Connect and power

Use the supplied cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Open Trezor Suite (download from trezor.io/downloads) or use the web interface per the model instructions.

3. Initialize & set PIN

Follow on-screen prompts on the device to create a new wallet. Set a strong PIN — this protects physical access to your device.

4. Backup your recovery seed

Write down the recovery phrase exactly as shown. Store it offline and in multiple secure physical locations if needed. Never store the seed digitally or share it.

5. Install apps & manage crypto

Use Trezor Suite to install coin-specific apps and manage accounts. Always verify addresses on the device display before confirming transactions.

Security best practices

Keep firmware up-to-date

Regularly check trezor.io/downloads for firmware updates and install them via Trezor Suite.

Protect your recovery phrase

Treat your seed phrase like cash — anyone with it controls your assets. Consider using a steel backup product for long-term storage.

Beware of phishing

Always type the domain trezor.io directly or use bookmarks. Verify URLs before entering sensitive information.

Advanced topics

Passphrase (hidden wallet)

Adding a passphrase creates a new hidden wallet. This provides plausible deniability but increases complexity and the risk of accidental loss — document your practice carefully.

Using Trezor with third-party wallets

Many wallets support Trezor via WalletConnect or native integration. When connecting, always confirm the receiving address on your Trezor device.
