Get Started with Your Trezor Device

This friendly, step-by-step guide helps you set up your Trezor hardware wallet safely and quickly. Use this as your companion as you follow the official start flow (Trezor.com Start / Trezor.com/Start / trezor.com start).

What you'll need

  • Your Trezor device out of the box
  • A computer or phone with a USB port (or adapter)
  • An internet connection to visit the official start page — Trezor.com Start or Trezor.com/Start
  • A clean, private workspace to write down your recovery seed

Quick start — Step by step

  1. Unbox and inspect. Verify the tamper-evident seal is intact. If anything looks tampered with, stop and contact support through official channels.
  2. Visit the official start page. Open your browser and go to the start instructions: Trezor.com Start or Trezor.com/Start. (You may also see instructions that reference trezor.io/start; follow the official prompts shown on your screen.)
  3. Connect the device. Use the supplied cable to connect your Trezor to the computer. The device will show a welcome screen with a short code — verify any codes on the device against the web app when prompted.
  4. Install firmware. If the device asks to install or update firmware, accept and allow the process to finish. Do not disconnect during firmware installation.
  5. Create a new wallet. Choose “Create a new wallet” on the web interface. Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed — write this down carefully on the provided recovery card. This is your backup. Keep it offline and stored in a safe place.
  6. Set a PIN. Choose a secure PIN on the device. A PIN prevents unauthorized access to the Trezor if it’s connected to a computer while unattended.
  7. Verify your recovery phrase. The setup will ask you to confirm a subset of your recovery words to ensure you wrote them correctly. Follow the on-screen prompts exactly.
  8. Install apps and send funds. Once set up, you can install supported wallets or use the Trezor web app to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other assets.

Security best practices

Security is the primary reason to use a hardware wallet. Keep these recommendations in mind:

  • Only use the official start pages and official Trezor software or recommended third-party wallets. Keywords to remember when searching: Trezor.com Start, Trezor.com/Start, trezor.com start.
  • Never share your 12/24 word recovery seed with anyone, over text, email, or photos.
  • Store the recovery seed offline in two secure locations if possible — not on a phone or cloud storage.
  • Set a strong PIN and consider a passphrase if you understand how it works (this is an advanced feature).
  • Always verify device screens and confirmation prompts on the physical device — never approve transactions you didn’t initiate.
Note: If you ever see a web page or prompt that looks different from the official flow (for instance, a page that repeatedly pushes you to type your recovery words into the browser), close the page and return to the official start instructions: Trezor.com Start or Trezor.com/Start.

Troubleshooting common issues

Device not recognized: Try a different USB cable or port. Some USB hubs interfere — connect the device directly to your computer.

Firmware update failed: Reboot the device and the browser. Retry using the official start flow (Trezor.com Start or Trezor.com/Start).

Lost recovery seed: If you lose the seed and still have access to the unlocked device, move funds to a new wallet immediately and generate a new seed. If you lose both the device and the seed, funds may be irrecoverable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between Trezor.com Start and other addresses?

Use the official start flow shown on the Trezor device and referenced by the documentation on official sites. Popular search terms include Trezor.com Start, Trezor.com/Start, and trezor.com start but always confirm you are on an official domain and that the device confirms the same codes shown in your browser.

2. Can I set up my Trezor without an internet connection?

The device generates the recovery seed offline, but to complete the guided setup and install firmware you usually need a connection to download updates and interact with the official start app. Follow the on-device directions and the official start page.

3. How do I recover my wallet if my Trezor is lost or damaged?

Use another compatible hardware wallet or the official recovery tools to enter your recovery seed and recover access to your funds. Keep your recovery phrase safe — it is the only backup.

4. Is my PIN enough to protect the device?

PINs protect against casual access but a lost seed remains a risk. Consider using a passphrase in addition to your PIN for stronger security. Understand passphrase implications before enabling it.

5. Are there any fees when starting with Trezor?

Trezor hardware is a one-time purchase; network fees apply when sending on blockchains. Always review network fee estimates before confirming transactions on your device.

Follow the official instructions and keep your recovery phrase private. When searching for setup instructions, remember the common keywords: Trezor.com Start, Trezor.com/Start, trezor.com start.
