Secure setup at Trezor.io/start — the official guide to safely initializing your hardware wallet, protecting your recovery seed, and getting control of your crypto assets.
Begin Setup NowModel One or Model T. Make sure it’s genuine—inspect the packaging, hologram seal, and physical condition. Never use a device from an untrusted seller.
Use the USB cable provided by Trezor. Use a desktop or laptop (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Prefer a private, secure location rather than public Wi‑Fi.
You’ll need to write down your recovery phrase. Use pen and paper (or metal backup) — never store the seed digitally or take pictures of it.
Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Always navigate to https://trezor.io/start, double-checking the URL and browser lock icon to avoid phishing. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Open your browser and type in trezor.io/start or click an official link. Avoid search ads or links from unknown sources. You should see official branding, confirmed certificates, and a favicon. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Select your model: either Model One or Model T. The setup interface will adapt depending on which device you have. Buttons or touchscreen actions differ based on model. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Download the official desktop app (Suite) for your operating system. Windows, macOS, or Linux versions are supported. Use Suite for better security, performance, and features. Alternatively, web apps may be available but may have limitations. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Plug in your Trezor using USB. If it's new or the firmware is out of date, Suite will prompt you to install the firmware. Confirm on device screen. Don't skip firmware updates. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
If new, choose “Create New Wallet”. If you already have a seed phrase, pick “Recover Wallet”. Use exactly 12, 18, or 24 words depending on the model/version. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Your recovery seed is your only way to recover funds. Write each word in correct order, keep it offline, store safely. Do not digital‑copy, screenshot, or photograph the seed. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
You’ll be prompted to choose a PIN on your device. This protects your device if lost or stolen. Confirm the PIN by entering it twice. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Once setup is complete, you're ready to use your Trezor wallet. View balances, receive crypto, send transactions, explore assets — all while keeping your private keys secure. Let’s get to that point now.
Continue SetupUse Trezor Suite to receive funds using a public address. To send, enter recipient address carefully, confirm on your device. Always verify on the hardware your addresses and transaction details. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Trezor supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many ERC‑20 tokens. More are added via firmware and Suite updates. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Set passphrase protection (optional but recommended), label your account, organize portfolios, use custom fees. All signing actions still must be confirmed on device. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Always use official download links. Verify firmware signatures. Keep your computer and Trezor Suite updated. Store seed in secure backup. Avoid phishing. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
This phrase grants full access to your wallet. Keep it offline, secure, and private. No one should ask for it—not even support. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
Firmware updates protect against vulnerabilities. Always confirm updates on the device screen, and only install via official Suite or official site. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
Make sure you're at https://trezor.io/start. Look for lock icon, proper domain spelling, and official favicon. Avoid copycat sites. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
Choose a PIN that’s easy for you but hard for someone else to guess. Use passphrase for added security especially if storing large amounts. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
There’s no better time to reclaim control of your digital assets. Begin your setup at Trezor.io/start, protect your seed, and enjoy peace of mind.
