HARDWARE WALLET SETUPSECURITY STARTS WITH YOU
A CALM START

Welcome to a more
considered way to hold crypto.

Your Trezor hardware wallet helps keep your private keys offline while you manage supported crypto assets through compatible software. Setup is straightforward: use the official setup page, follow the prompts on your device, and write down your recovery backup somewhere safe.

This page is an independent quick-start overview, not a substitute for the instructions shown by Trezor. Always confirm that you are on the official trezor.io/start website before downloading software or connecting your wallet.

FIVE SIMPLE STEPS

From box to ready.

Follow the instructions on your device and in official Trezor software. The exact screens can vary a little by model.

01

Unbox and inspect

Check that your device and packaging look as expected. If anything seems unusual, pause and contact official Trezor support before continuing.

02

Connect your device

Use the supplied cable to connect your Trezor to a computer or compatible phone. Follow the screen prompts; never enter a recovery backup on a website.

03

Use official software

Open trezor.io/start by typing the address yourself. Download Trezor Suite only from an official Trezor page, then follow the guided installation.

04

Create your wallet

Choose the option that matches your needs and let the device guide you. Read each confirmation carefully and verify important details on the Trezor screen itself.

05

Back up, then verify

Write your recovery words in the order shown by your device and store them offline, away from cameras and online storage. Confirm the backup when prompted.

YOUR RECOVERY BACKUP IS THE KEY

Keep it private.
Keep it offline.

Your recovery words can restore access to your wallet. Anyone who gets them may be able to access your funds. Trezor support will never ask you to share them, and neither should a website, app, or person claiming to help.

Write the words only where your device instructs you to. Store the backup in a secure, private place that you can access if needed. Never photograph it, paste it into a message, save it in cloud storage, or type it into a computer or phone. If you already have a recovery backup, do not enter it unless your device specifically directs you to do so.

Read official security guidance
“

Your recovery words belong to you alone. Treat them like the keys to everything in your wallet.

Do I need to rush through setup?

No. Take your time reading each prompt. A few extra moments to verify the address, software source, and device instructions are worthwhile.

02

Where should I get the software?

Start from the official Trezor address: trezor.io/start. Check the domain carefully and avoid sponsored search links, unsolicited messages, or downloads from unofficial sites.
