Trezor Start — Initialize Your Trezor Device

Why start with Trezor?

Your Trezor device is a hardware wallet built to secure your crypto. When you Start a Trezor device you keep your private keys offline and never expose them to the web. This guide helps you complete the Trezor Start process: unbox, connect, visit Trezor.io/Start, initialize, and secure your recovery phrase. Use this page as your friendly, step-by-step Trezor device setup reference.

What you’ll do (quick overview)

  • Unbox & verify — check tamper-evident seals and authenticity.
  • Connect & Visit — connect your Trezor device and open Trezor.io/Start.
  • Initialize — create a seed, set a PIN, and confirm backups.
  • Secure — store your recovery phrase offline and enable passphrase if needed.

Step-by-step — Start your Trezor device

  1. 1

    Unbox & inspect

    Only use a sealed, untampered Trezor package. Verify the packaging and tamper-evident stickers. Your security starts with an authentic device.

  2. 2

    Connect & Visit Trezor.io/Start

    Connect the Trezor device to your computer. Open your browser and go to Trezor.io/Start — this is the official setup site to install firmware and begin setup for your Trezor device and Trezor wallet.

  3. 3

    Initialize the device

    Follow on-screen prompts to create a new wallet. Choose a secure PIN and write down the recovery phrase exactly as shown. This is essential for recovery if your Trezor device is lost or damaged.

  4. 4

    Backup & verify

    Write the recovery words on a physical backup (do not store digitally). Confirm the recovery words on your device. Do not share your recovery phrase — anyone with it can access your crypto.

  5. 5

    Complete & secure

    Finish setup, install the Trezor Bridge or Trezor Suite if prompted, and add coins. Securely store the recovery backup and maintain physical security for your Trezor device and recovery phrase.

Security reminders

A hardware wallet like a Trezor device keeps keys offline and is the most secure way to store crypto. Remember: never share your PIN or recovery phrase, never enter your recovery phrase into a website, and always update firmware from the official Trezor sources. Use a robust PIN and consider using a passphrase for an extra layer of protection.
