Welcome! This presentation-style page walks you through the safest way to begin with your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re unboxing your first device or returning for a clean reinstall, the official starting point is always the same. Bookmark it, verify it, and use it every time you set up a new computer, update firmware, or recover a wallet.
Open the Official Start PageThe official start page ensures you download authentic software, follow the correct setup flow, and avoid look‑alike sites. Relying on the verified domain protects you from phishing, tampered installers, and outdated instructions.
As devices evolve and new coins are supported, the steps may adjust. The canonical instructions originate at the same trusted URL. Always begin at trezor.io/start for the most current process.
A single path reduces confusion: install, connect, verify, and back up. Even experienced users benefit from re‑checking the official steps before making changes to a live wallet.
Security thrives on calm attention to detail. If something looks off—odd pop‑ups, requests for your seed, or unexpected URLs—pause and cross‑check with the official instructions.
Open your browser, verify the address bar shows the correct domain, and proceed only from the official portal. Start here: trezor.io/start.
Follow the on‑screen prompts to download the installer for your OS. Avoid third‑party mirrors. Confirm checksums if applicable. Get Suite from trezor.io/start only.
Plug in your device. Trezor Suite guides you to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Never photograph, scan, or store your seed digitally.
Let Suite handle it. Keep the device connected and follow instructions. If unsure, re‑read guidance at trezor.io/start.
Write the recovery seed carefully. Use multiple cards or a metal kit for redundancy. Test a dummy recovery before holding significant value.
Set a strong device PIN, enable passphrase if appropriate, and turn on coin‑control features to protect privacy.
For any incoming funds, display and verify the address on the device screen. If something doesn’t match, stop and return to trezor.io/start to review.
Double‑check amounts and fees. Confirm on the device, not just on the computer. Consider test transactions for new destinations.
Practice with a low‑value wallet first. Performing a dry‑run recovery builds muscle memory for real‑world emergencies and helps you spot any gaps in your backup.
When in doubt, go back to the source—the guidance at the official starting point remains your north star. Revisit trezor.io/start to reset and proceed with confidence.
It’s the recommended, streamlined experience maintained by the device maker. Third‑party tools may exist but increase complexity. For most users, the official route is best.
Always fetch installers from the official page to ensure authenticity—never from link shorteners or file‑sharing sites. The correct source is trezor.io/start.
No. Anything connected to the internet is a target. Keep the seed offline, on paper or in a durable metal backup, split across safe locations if needed.
Your PIN protects the device if someone gets physical access. A passphrase adds a second factor that derives a separate wallet. With a passphrase, your seed alone isn’t enough to access funds.
Copy‑pasting from your computer is not verification. Always compare the address shown on your device screen when receiving or sending funds.
"Wallet" refers to both the hardware device (your Trezor) and the software (Trezor Suite) working together to manage keys and transactions.
The coins live on the blockchain; your wallet controls access via private keys.
A sequence of words that can regenerate your wallet. Keep it offline; anyone who knows it can control your funds.
Never type it on a website. Your device will never show it again after creation.
An extra word or sentence that derives a separate wallet. Forgetting it means losing access to that hidden wallet.
Practice entering it correctly before storing real value.
The code your Trezor runs. Updates bring features and security fixes. Only update via the official flow.
Interrupting updates can cause errors—ensure stable power and patience.
Always trust the device display over your computer. Malicious software can spoof UI elements on a compromised machine.
For large transfers, consider a small test transaction first.
You’re ready to begin with clarity and confidence. Keep this page as a companion, teach others the safe route, and stick to first principles: verify, back up, and proceed deliberately.
