A straightforward, security-first companion for setting up your Trezor device. Take your time, verify the website, and keep your recovery secret offline.
Preparation is simple. A few careful checks can help you avoid lookalike sites, unexpected prompts, and rushed decisions.
Type trezor.io/start into your browser yourself, or use the official link on this page. Check the address bar before downloading software or following instructions. Ignore sponsored results, unsolicited messages, and unfamiliar QR codes.
Open the official pageChoose a computer or phone you control, update its browser, and connect your device using a cable you trust. Follow the current instructions shown on Trezor’s official website and on your device. Never install setup files sent to you privately.
See the setup flowYour recovery phrase is the master backup to your wallet. Write it down only when your device instructs you, store it somewhere private and secure, and never photograph, type, email, or share it. Anyone who gets it may be able to take your assets.
Read the safety rulesUse this as a general orientation, not a substitute for the latest official instructions. Exact screens and steps may vary by device model.
Visit trezor.io/start directly. Confirm the domain is spelled correctly and that the connection is secure.
Connect your device and follow the official setup guide. Read prompts carefully, verify important details on the device screen, and install only software linked from the official site.
If creating a new wallet, follow the device’s instructions to record your recovery backup. Keep it private, offline, and separate from the device. Never enter it into a website or share it with support.
Hardware wallets are designed to keep sensitive actions under your control. Protect that boundary every time you set up or use a wallet.
No legitimate support agent needs your recovery phrase—not by chat, call, email, or screen share.
Keep recovery words off connected devices. Only follow instructions displayed by your device itself.
Check destination details on your device before approving. Pause if a request feels urgent or unexpected.
Navigate from trezor.io to support. Do not trust unsolicited “recovery” offers.
This independent guide is here to help you prepare. For the actual setup, always use Trezor’s official website and follow the instructions for your specific device.
