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

Quick, secure, and clear — this guide walks you through powering on, initializing, and protecting your Trezor hardware wallet using the official start flow. Each section uses a different colourful font + background to keep instructions readable and visually distinct.

Step 1 — Unbox & Inspect

Open your Trezor package and verify the tamper-evident seal. Make sure the holographic sticker and serial match the packaging. Do not use the device if packaging looks compromised. Keep original packaging until setup is complete.

Step 2 — Connect Safely

Connect your Trezor to a trusted computer or mobile device using the supplied USB cable. Avoid public or shared computers. If you prefer, you can use Trezor Suite on your personal machine for a guided experience. When you connect, the device screen will show the Trezor logo — confirm this is displayed on the physical device, not only on the computer screen.

Step 3 — Visit Trezor.io/Start

Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start. This page will guide you to download Trezor Suite or to follow the web-based onboarding flow. Always type the address manually or use a bookmark — do not follow links from emails or ads.

Step 4 — Install & Update

Install Trezor Bridge or Trezor Suite as instructed. Allow firmware updates if prompted — updating firmware is essential for security. The device will display a fingerprint of the firmware; verify it when shown. Never install software from unofficial sources.

Step 5 — Create a Wallet

Choose Create new on the device or within Trezor Suite. The device will generate your seed (recovery phrase). This happens entirely on the hardware — the secret never leaves the device. Write your recovery words on the provided card; do not store them digitally.

Step 6 — Secure Your Recovery

Store the recovery phrase in at least two secure locations (bank safe, personal safe). Consider using a metal backup plate for fire and water resistance. Never reveal your recovery phrase — anyone with it can access your funds.

Step 7 — PIN & Passphrase

Set a PIN to protect against physical access. Optionally enable a passphrase (also called hidden wallet) for an extra security layer — remember the passphrase exactly, because it is not recoverable. Test unlocking the device a couple of times to ensure you remember your PIN.

Best Practices

  • Always verify addresses on the device screen before confirming transactions.
  • Keep firmware and Trezor Suite updated.
  • Never type your recovery phrase into a computer or phone.
  • Use a strong, memorable PIN; avoid obvious numbers.

Troubleshooting

If your device is not recognized, try a different USB port or a new cable. Reinstall Trezor Bridge/Trezor Suite and reboot your computer. If you suspect tampering or unexpected behavior, stop and contact official Trezor support. Never share your recovery phrase when seeking help.

FAQ — Quick Answers

Q: Can I use Trezor with multiple computers?
A: Yes — your Trezor stores keys on the device and can be used on different trusted machines.

Q: What if I lose my device?
A: Use your recovery phrase to restore on a new Trezor or compatible wallet. Keep the phrase safe.

Remember: Trezor security relies on you — verify links, keep backups offline, and always confirm on-device prompts. This page is a friendly guide; for official support and downloads visit trezor.io/start.
