Trézor.io/Start®®® — Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor
Set up your Trezor hardware wallet with care, install Trezor Suite from an official source, and learn the essentials for protecting your recovery backup.
Start with confidence
Welcome to your Trezor setup. A hardware wallet keeps the private keys that control your crypto protected by a dedicated device, while Trezor Suite gives you a clear place to manage your wallet. Begin by checking that your device and packaging look as expected. For the safest experience, type Trezor.io/start directly into your browser and check the address carefully before continuing. Avoid sponsored search results, unsolicited messages, and links that ask you to reveal your recovery seed.
Setup is designed to guide you through the essential steps: connect your device, install or open the official Trezor Suite, follow on-screen prompts, and create a recovery backup. Take your time. Your device screen is an important security check, so confirm addresses and actions on the hardware wallet itself whenever prompted.
A simple path from unboxing to your wallet
- 01
Connect your Trezor
Use the supplied cable to connect the device to your computer or supported mobile device. Follow the prompts at Trezor.io/start. If anything about the packaging or device seems unusual, pause and consult official Trezor support before using it.
- 02
Install Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite only through Trezor’s official website or use its official web app. Suite helps you initialize the device, view accounts, and manage supported assets. Keep your computer and browser up to date, and never install wallet software from an unexpected pop-up or message.
- 03
Create and back up securely
Choose the on-device option to create a new wallet, then carefully write down the recovery words exactly as the device presents them. Store that backup offline in a private, secure place. Do not photograph it, save it in cloud storage, or enter it into a website, chat, or computer prompt.
- 04
Set a PIN and verify actions
Choose a PIN that is difficult to guess and follow the device’s instructions. When receiving or sending assets, compare important details on the Trezor screen before confirming. A familiar-looking address on your computer is not a substitute for checking the information displayed by your hardware wallet.
Your wallet, with security in your hands
Trezor Suite is the companion interface for managing your Trezor Wallet. It can help you review accounts, check transaction details, and access supported features; availability varies by device, region, and asset. Keep Suite updated through its official update flow. Trezor Bridge may be needed in some browser-based connection setups to let a browser communicate with your device. Install Bridge only from official Trezor sources and follow the current setup guidance shown for your device.
There is no ordinary online “Trezor login” that should ask for your recovery seed. Your PIN and backup are not credentials to enter into a support chat or third-party site. Anyone who obtains your recovery words may be able to take control of the wallet. Trezor support will never need you to share them.
Before you finish
Make sure you understand where your recovery backup is stored and how to access it if your device is lost or damaged. Test your setup with a small amount before making a larger transaction, and double-check network and recipient details each time. Bookmark the official Trezor website after verifying its address, keep your device firmware current using official prompts, and stay alert to urgent messages or fake support accounts. With a careful first setup, your Trezor hardware wallet and Trezor Suite can work together to give you a more deliberate way to manage digital assets. If setup differs from these general steps, rely on the instructions displayed by your device and the official help center for your specific model.
