Quick checklist before you start
- Only use the official Trezor.io/Start URL to download software.

- Ensure you have a reliable USB cable and a compatible computer or mobile device.
- Do not enter recovery words into any computer or website — record them offline and store securely.
Step-by-step: How to start your device (simple)
-
1
Unbox and inspect
Verify packaging and tamper-evident markers. If anything seems tampered with, stop and contact support before you start the device.
-
2
Visit Trezor.io/Start and download
Open a secure browser and go to Trezor.io/Start. Download the recommended Trezor Suite app or Trezor Bridge for your platform as prompted by the start flow.
-
3
Connect and initialize
Plug in the device, follow on-screen instructions to install firmware if required, then choose to create a new wallet. Create a strong PIN when prompted — PINs protect your device in daily use.
-
4
Record your wallet backup
Write the displayed wallet backup words exactly as shown on the device. Trezor refers to this as your wallet backup (formerly 'recovery seed'); store it offline and in multiple secure locations if possible. Never photograph or store it digitally.
-
5
Finish and verify
Confirm the backup words on the device when asked, add accounts in Trezor Suite, and perform a small test transaction to verify everything works before moving large amounts.
Security tips when you use Trezor.io/Start
- Always download software from the official Trezor site and follow the prompts on Trezor.io/Start.
- Never reveal your wallet backup or PIN to anyone — customer support will never ask for these.
- Approve every transaction on the physical device screen; do not trust confirmations shown only in software.
- Keep software (Trezor Suite/Bridge) and firmware updated through official channels for the latest protections.
