01
Inspect your device
Check the packaging and device for signs of tampering. If anything looks unusual, pause and contact official support through a verified channel before proceeding.
Start with the essentials
Three stages to understand before using Trezor.io/start
A careful setup begins with checking your equipment and ends with knowing how to verify actions. Work through each stage at your own pace.
02
Follow verified instructions
Open Trezor.io/start by entering the address yourself. Follow the instructions for your model and install software only from the official Trezor website.
03
Secure your backup
Read the device's recovery instructions carefully. Store your recovery backup privately and offline, and make sure nobody else can photograph or copy it.
Before connecting
Your Trezor.io/start preparation checklist
Preparation can prevent avoidable setup errors. Confirm the basics before creating or accessing a wallet.
- A computer or supported mobile device ready for setup
- A reliable cable or supported connection method
- Access to the official Trezor setup website
- A private place to record and store recovery information
- Enough time to review each confirmation carefully
Important recovery phrase rule
Your recovery seed or backup can provide access to wallet funds. Anyone who obtains it may be able to control those funds, so never share it with another person or enter it into a website or chat.
Stop if something feels wrong. A page, email, or support message asking you to disclose your recovery words is a serious warning sign. Close it and independently verify the correct process through official documentation.
Build good habits
Understand the security choices in your wallet workflow
Trezor.io/start is only the beginning. Protecting your wallet also depends on how you use your computer, manage backups, and approve transactions.
Verify transaction details
Check the destination address, asset, and amount on your device when supported. Do not approve a transaction you cannot confidently identify.
Keep software updated
Use official release information and follow supported update instructions. Avoid unknown downloads, browser extensions, and unsolicited installation links.
Protect your computer
Use a device with current security updates, a screen lock, and reputable protection. Be cautious with remote-access requests and unexpected attachments.
Plan for recovery
Understand your backup procedure before you need it. Keep recovery material legible, protected from damage, and separate from information that could expose your wallet.
