Trezor.io/Start | Official Getting Started Guide™

Trezor.io/Start | Official Getting Started Guide™ — a concise, safety-first walkthrough to set up your Trezor device, secure your recovery seed, and begin managing crypto with confidence.

Overview — Trezor.io/Start in plain language

When you follow Trezor.io/Start | Official Getting Started Guide™, you adopt a tested, clear process: verify your device, download official software, initialize securely, and store your recovery seed offline. This page focuses on practical steps and sensible defaults to keep your assets safe.

Quick checklist

  • Verify device packaging and authenticity before setup.
  • Download official Trezor Suite from Trezor.io/Start.
  • Create PIN, generate recovery seed, and store it offline.
  • Confirm transactions on the device screen every time.
1

Unbox & verify

Start by inspecting the packaging for tamper evidence. Only proceed if the box and seals appear intact. If you have any doubt, contact official support channels before powering the device.

2

Download from Trezor.io/Start

Visit Trezor.io/Start to download Trezor Suite — the official desktop and mobile management app. Avoid third-party mirrors; always check the TLS padlock and verified domain before downloading installers.

3

Initialize and create PIN

Follow the step-by-step prompts to choose a secure PIN. Trezor devices use the PIN to protect local access; selecting a long, unpredictable PIN increases safety.

4

Write down your recovery seed

Your recovery phrase is the only way to recover funds. Write the words exactly as shown on the device, in order, on a durable medium. Use the provided recovery card or a purpose-built metal backup for long-term durability.

Never photograph or store your seed in cloud storage. Treat it like cash: offline, private, and backed up securely.

Best practices for ongoing safety

Verify transactions on-device

Always confirm recipient addresses and amounts on the device screen — not just in the app — before approving any transaction.

Firmware updates

Apply firmware updates presented by Trezor Suite only. Firmware updates are cryptographically signed; do not use unofficial upgrade tools.

Advanced options

  • Passphrase: optional extra-secret you can combine with your seed for plausible deniability (use with caution).
  • Hidden wallets: create separate passphrase-protected wallets for compartmentalization.
  • Multi-sig: for high-value holdings, consider multi-signature arrangements with other devices or co-signers.
