Trézor.io/Start® - Securely Set Up Your Trézor Hardware Wallet

Begin your crypto security journey by starting your Trézor device safely and correctly.

Introduction

Trézor.io/Start® is the official gateway for initializing your Trézor hardware wallet. This page walks you through everything — from unboxing and connecting the device to setting up your PIN, recovery seed, updating firmware, and following security best practices. The goal is to ensure your crypto assets remain private, safe, and under your control.

Step 1 – Unboxing

Always verify the integrity of your package and tamper-proof seals. Report discrepancies before proceeding. This ensures your device hasn’t been accessed or modified before arrival.

Step 2 – Connecting Your Device

Use a data-enabled USB cable to connect your Trézor to your computer. Download and install Trézor Bridge for secure communication between your browser and device.

Step 3 – Initialize via Trézor Suite

Launch Trézor Suite to initialize your device. You can either create a new wallet or recover one using your recovery seed. Follow only official on-screen instructions.

Step 4 – Set a Secure PIN

Create a strong PIN directly on your device. A PIN helps prevent unauthorized access and protects your wallet even if your device is lost or stolen.

Step 5 – Backup with Recovery Seed

Write down the recovery seed on the provided card. Store it offline in a safe, private location. Never share it digitally or with anyone — it’s the sole backup for your assets.

Step 6 – Firmware Updates

Keep your Trézor firmware updated for enhanced security and functionality. Only download verified updates directly from official Trézor resources.

Step 7 – Ongoing Security & Use

Use your Trézor for daily crypto management — send, receive, and verify transactions on-device. Avoid phishing sites and follow security best practices regularly.
