Trezor.io/Start | Official Getting Started Guide™

Your step-by-step guide to securely setting up and managing your Trezor hardware wallet.

Welcome to Trezor

Trezor is a leading hardware wallet that keeps your cryptocurrency safe and offline. With Trezor, your private keys never leave your device, providing maximum security against online threats.

This guide walks you through the entire setup process from unboxing to sending and receiving crypto securely.

Step 1: Access the Official Start Page

Go to Trezor.io/Start. This is the official starting point for new Trezor users. It ensures you download authentic Trezor Suite software.

Tip: Avoid third-party websites or links claiming to offer Trezor downloads—they can be phishing attempts.

Step 2: Unbox and Connect Your Trezor

Carefully unbox your Trezor device. Connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. Verify that the holographic seal on the packaging is intact—this ensures your device is genuine.

Tip: Use your personal computer instead of public or shared computers for added security.

Step 3: Download and Install Trezor Suite

From the start page, download the Trezor Suite app suitable for your system: Windows, macOS, Linux, or Web. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 4: Initialize Your Device

Open Trezor Suite. The setup wizard will guide you through creating a new wallet or recovering an existing wallet using your recovery seed.

Set a secure PIN to protect your device. Optionally, you can add a passphrase for an extra layer of security.

Tip: Write your recovery seed on paper and store it in a secure, offline location. Never save it digitally.

Step 5: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

Navigate to the Accounts tab in Trezor Suite. Add wallets for cryptocurrencies you want to manage—Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, and others.

All private keys stay securely on your device. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on the Trezor, keeping your funds safe.

Step 6: Sending and Receiving Crypto

Tip: Always double-check addresses and transaction details. Device verification prevents phishing and mistakes.
