Welcome to Trezor Start — the official first step to securing your digital assets with a Trezor hardware wallet.
Your crypto, keys, and privacy deserve more than a password. Trezor Start guides you through a simple, secure setup so you can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other tokens with confidence. Whether you’re opening your first hardware wallet or migrating from a software wallet, the process is clear, deliberate, and designed to protect what matters.
Start secure: Begin by checking your device packaging and verifying the tamper-evident seal. Power on your Trezor and connect it to your computer or mobile device. The on-screen instructions will walk you through firmware checks and a device authenticity verification to ensure your Trezor is genuine and uncompromised.
Create your seed: Your recovery seed is the single most important safeguard. During setup you’ll generate a recovery seed — a list of words that can restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Write these words down on the supplied recovery card and store them in a safe, offline location. Never store your seed digitally, and never share it with anyone.
Create a PIN: Protect access to your device with a PIN. The PIN is entered on the Trezor screen, not your computer, preventing remote keyloggers from capturing it. Choose a PIN you’ll remember but that’s hard for others to guess. If you ever forget it, your recovery seed will restore access.
Manage assets: After setup, connect to the Trezor Suite — a secure, open-source app that lets you send and receive cryptocurrencies, check account balances, and manage device settings. Trezor supports a broad range of coins and tokens and integrates with leading wallets and services for a flexible experience.
Advanced protection: For additional security, enable passphrase support. A passphrase acts as a secret word appended to your recovery seed, creating a hidden wallet that exists only when the passphrase is entered. This feature is ideal for those who need added deniability or split-storage setups.
Best practices: Keep firmware up to date, verify addresses on your device before approving transactions, and use trusted apps. Avoid downloading unofficial software and be cautious with browser extensions. Regularly review device settings and backup procedures to ensure continuity.
Support and resources: Trezor’s knowledge base, community forums, and official guides provide step-by-step tutorials, troubleshooting tips, and security best practices. If you’re ever unsure, consult official Trezor documentation rather than third-party advice.
