Device setup guide
Trézor.io/Start®® — Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor®
Getting started with a Trezor hardware wallet is straightforward when you follow the verified setup flow. Use this independent guide to understand the essentials, then continue on Trezor’s official website for the latest instructions and software.
Security reminder: This page is an informational guide and is not an official Trezor support channel. Always check the address bar carefully and use the official Trezor.io/start website. Never share your recovery seed or enter it into a website, chat, or support form.
Start with your Trezor device
A Trezor Wallet keeps the keys that authorize your crypto transactions offline, while compatible software gives you a convenient way to view balances and manage supported assets. Before setup, unbox your device in a private place and check that it looks intact. Use a trusted computer, install current system updates, and connect the device directly with its supplied cable where possible.
To begin, type trezor.io/start into your browser rather than following an unexpected email or message link. Confirm the domain spelling and secure connection before proceeding. The official setup page will guide you to the appropriate version of Trezor Suite or explain the available options for your model. Download Trezor Suite only from Trezor’s official site; avoid third-party download mirrors and sponsored search results that you cannot verify.
Continue to official setupYour first setup, step by step
Follow the instructions shown by the official software and on the device screen. Exact steps vary slightly by model, so treat the device itself as the trusted source for confirmation.
Install and update
If setup requests firmware installation or an update, use the on-screen instructions and keep the cable connected. Do not interrupt an update in progress.
Back up carefully
Create the wallet backup as instructed and write the recovery words on the provided backup medium. Store it offline, separately from your device, and out of view.
Choose a device PIN if your model offers one, and make it difficult to guess. Your recovery backup is the crucial way to restore access if a device is lost or damaged. Anyone who obtains those words may be able to take your assets, so never photograph, email, cloud-store, or type them into a computer or phone. Trezor support will never need your recovery phrase.
Trezor Suite, login, and Bridge
Trezor Suite is the companion desktop and web experience for supported devices. It can help you manage accounts, review transaction details, and access supported features while your private keys remain protected by the hardware wallet. Check that you are using the official Trezor Suite application and keep it updated. Before confirming a transaction, compare the address and amount shown on your Trezor device screen with the details you intended to send.
A “Trezor login” should never mean giving a website your recovery phrase. Your device confirms access and actions through its own protected interface; a PIN may be requested locally depending on your setup. Trezor Bridge is a communication component that may be required by certain browsers or workflows to connect the device. Install it only when the official Trezor instructions request it, and obtain it from Trezor’s official site.
Use the following basic safety checks whenever you use your Trezor Wallet:
- Confirm the web address and software publisher before downloading or connecting.
- Keep your recovery backup private, offline, and protected from damage.
- Read transaction details on the hardware wallet screen before approving.
- Ignore unsolicited “support” messages asking for a seed, PIN, or remote access.
If something seems unusual, stop, disconnect if safe to do so, and consult support linked from Trezor’s official website. Do not rely on search ads, social messages, or lookalike support accounts to resolve wallet security concerns.
