01 — GETTING STARTED

A clear path from
unboxing to ready.

A hardware wallet gives you a dedicated place to secure your digital assets, but the first few minutes matter. Start from a trusted source, take your time, and let your device guide you. Trezor.io/start brings official onboarding instructions together so you can begin without guessing which app or steps to follow.

Before connecting, check that your device and cable are in good condition. Open the setup page by entering trezor.io/start into your browser, rather than following an unexpected message or advertisement. Scammers sometimes imitate familiar brands with look-alike addresses; a tiny spelling difference can lead to a very different destination.

Each Trezor model may show a slightly different setup flow. Select the model in your hands and follow the instructions displayed both on your device and in the official software. If something feels unexpected, pause and verify the step through Trezor’s own help resources instead of improvising.

Check the address

Type trezor.io/start directly into your browser, or follow the link from Trezor’s official website. Take a moment to confirm the spelling before continuing.

Connect your device

Use the cable supplied with your hardware wallet and connect it to a trusted computer or compatible phone. Follow the on-screen instructions for your specific model.

Install Trezor Suite

Download the desktop or mobile app only from an official Trezor page. Suite guides you through setup and provides a place to manage supported assets.

Write down your recovery seed

If your device creates a recovery seed, record every word in the order shown and store it offline. Never photograph it, type it into a website, or share it with anyone.

02 — THE NON-NEGOTIABLES

Good security
is quiet security.

Your recovery seed can restore access to a wallet. Treat it like the master key to your home: write it down carefully, keep it away from cameras and connected devices, and store it somewhere only you can reach.

Never type your words into a computer or phone, send them to “support,” or enter them into a page that appears during troubleshooting. A legitimate setup should not require you to disclose the seed online. If anyone creates urgency or promises to “verify” your wallet by collecting those words, close the conversation.

Keep your device PIN private, install updates from official channels, and verify addresses on the device screen before approving a transaction. These small habits make a meaningful difference, whether you are setting up a Model One, Model T, Safe 3, Safe 5, or another supported Trezor device.

03 — TRUSTED SOURCES

Go straight to
the source.

Bookmark official pages and return to them whenever you need help. These links lead to Trezor-owned resources; this article is an independent overview, not the setup portal itself.

A FEW QUICK ANSWERS

Before you
plug in.

Is Trezor.io/start the first step for a new device?

Yes. Enter the address yourself to reach the official getting-started instructions. The page directs you to the right software and setup flow for your device.

Can support ask me for my recovery seed?

No. Your recovery seed is the backup to your wallet and must remain private. Anyone asking you to reveal it, enter it into a website, or send it in a message is not a legitimate support contact.

What if my device model is different?

Choose the exact model shown on your device and follow its official instructions. Button locations, display prompts, and available features can vary between models.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Set up calmly.
Stay in control.

When you’re ready, open the official onboarding page and follow the instructions for your exact device.
