Trezor device setup

Trézor.io/Start — Starting Up Your Device | Trezor

A new hardware wallet puts you in control of your digital assets. Use this straightforward guide to begin at Trezor.io/start, install the official Trezor Suite, and set up your device with security at every step.

Trezor.io/start is the recommended starting point for initializing a Trezor hardware wallet. It directs you to current setup instructions and official downloads for your device. Take your time, use a trusted computer, and follow the instructions shown on your own Trezor screen as well as in the desktop or web application.

Set up your Trezor Wallet in a few careful steps

Keep the package and device nearby, and confirm that you are visiting the official Trezor website before downloading software. Setup is designed to keep sensitive information on the hardware wallet rather than expose it to your computer.

  1. 1. Visit the official start page

    Open Trezor.io/start by entering the address yourself or using a trusted bookmark. Check the spelling carefully; sponsored results, look-alike domains, and unsolicited setup links can lead to phishing pages.

  2. 2. Download Trezor Suite

    Choose the official Trezor Suite version for your operating system, or use the supported web experience linked from Trezor’s site. Trezor Suite is the companion app for managing accounts, checking balances, and reviewing transactions. Download updates only from official Trezor channels.

  3. 3. Connect and verify your device

    Connect the Trezor hardware wallet using its cable and follow the prompts in Suite. Install or update firmware only when the app and device request it. Confirm important actions on the device screen, where transaction details can be checked before approval.

  4. 4. Create a wallet and protect its backup

    Choose the option to create a new wallet if this is your first device. Your Trezor will guide you through making a recovery backup. Write the words in the correct order on the supplied backup material and store it privately, offline, and somewhere protected from damage. Anyone with the words may be able to access the wallet.

  5. 5. Finish setup and use securely

    Set a PIN if prompted, then review your accounts and receive address in Trezor Suite. Always verify an address on the hardware wallet screen before sharing it. Trezor login prompts should come only from official Trezor experiences; no legitimate helper needs your recovery seed.

Do you need Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a communication component used in some browser and desktop setups to let supported software communicate with a connected device. Many current setup flows handle connectivity through Trezor Suite or a supported browser connection. Start with the instructions presented at Trezor.io/start rather than installing software from a third-party download page. If your device is not detected, try another data-capable cable or USB port, close other wallet applications, and consult the official troubleshooting guidance.
