YOUR KEYS. YOUR CONTROL.
THE SIMPLE START GUIDE01 — 06
A GOOD START IS A SAFE START
Before you plug in,
know what matters.
Setting up a hardware wallet is about more than connecting a device. You’re creating the keys that control your crypto—and a recovery backup that can restore access if your device is lost or damaged.
This guide walks through the usual process. Always follow the instructions displayed in official Trezor software for your specific model.
THE SETUP, STEP BY STEP
From unboxing to
ready to use.
Take each step at your own pace. Keep your recovery words private throughout the process.
Visit the official start page
Type trezor.io/start directly into your browser. Confirm the address carefully and avoid setup links sent through unsolicited messages or search ads.
Install Trezor Suite
Follow the official instructions to download Trezor Suite for your computer or use the supported web experience. Keep your operating system and browser up to date.
Connect and update
Connect your device with a trusted cable and follow the on-screen prompts. Install firmware only when prompted by the official Trezor Suite.
Create a wallet
Choose to create a new wallet and set a device PIN if prompted. Your PIN protects access to the device; it is not a replacement for your recovery backup.
Back up your recovery seed
Write the words down in their exact order and keep them offline in a private, secure place. Never photograph, email, type, or share your seed.
KEEP YOUR WALLET YOURS
Your recovery seed
is the master key.
The recovery seed can restore your wallet. Anyone who gets a copy may be able to access your funds. Trezor support will never ask you to reveal it.
Understand recovery seeds ↗01
Keep it offline
Write it on the backup material and store it somewhere private and protected.
02
Never share the words
Do not enter your seed on a website, in an app, or into a message—even if it looks official.
03
Verify every address
Check the transaction details on your Trezor device screen before confirming.
04
Beware of urgency
Ignore unsolicited support calls, DMs, and links claiming your wallet needs immediate action.

Where should I start my setup?
Enter trezor.io/start directly in your browser. Check the domain spelling before downloading software or connecting your device.

No. Your recovery seed should be generated during setup on your device. Never use words supplied in a package or by another person.
What if I lose my Trezor?
Your recovery seed can help restore wallet access on a compatible wallet. Keep it secure and private so only you can use it.
Can Trezor support ask for my seed?
No. Never disclose your recovery seed to anyone, including someone claiming to be support. Treat any such request as a scam.
