Welcome — Start here: Trezor.io/start

This page is your official Trezor.io/start guide. It walks you through step-by-step instructions to unbox, connect, initialize, and secure your Trezor hardware wallet. Designed to be colourful and clear, this guide helps beginners and experienced users get started with Trezor, secure their recovery, and add accounts safely.

1
Unbox & Verify

Inspect seals and packaging. Only use devices from official retailers and verify authenticity via Trezor.io/start. If packaging appears tampered, contact support immediately.

2
Connect & Open

Plug your Trezor into your computer and navigate to the official start wizard at Trezor.io/start. Follow the on-screen prompts — the wizard checks firmware and guides you through every step.

3
Set a strong PIN

Create a PIN directly on the device. Choose a PIN you will remember but others can't guess. Do not store your PIN digitally in plain text.

4
Write your recovery

Write the recovery seed on the supplied recovery card. Never photograph or store the seed on an internet-connected device. Use multiple physical backups stored securely.

5
Add accounts & manage

Open the recommended Trezor app, add Bitcoin, Ethereum or other supported coins. Trezor.io/start links to official apps and trusted integrations so your accounts index correctly and remain compatible.

6
Update firmware safely

Keep firmware up-to-date using official instructions on Trezor.io/start. Firmware updates include security fixes and improved compatibility; always follow the official wizard to update.

Security best practices

Bookmark Trezor.io/start to avoid phishing. Never share your recovery phrase or enter it into websites. Use offline storage and consider split backups for higher security. Regularly verify device fingerprints and updates through the official start page.

Troubleshooting

Device not connecting?
Try a different cable, USB port, or browser. Disable browser extensions that interfere with USB. Visit Trezor.io/start for detailed troubleshooting steps.
Lost recovery?
If you lose your recovery phrase, funds may be unrecoverable. Always keep at least two secure, offline backups. Consider using passphrase protection for additional safety.
Suspicious email or site?
Do not click links in unsolicited emails. Confirm URLs and always use the official Trezor.io/start address. Report phishing attempts to official support.
