A quick, presentation-style guide to getting your Trezor hardware wallet set up safely and smoothly.
✅ Verified URL: Open trezor.io/start
The official start page is the safest launchpad for initializing your Trezor device, installing the companion software, and learning best practices. It consolidates trusted downloads, device-specific instructions, and security guidance so you can avoid counterfeit apps and phishing traps.
From trezor.io/start, you’ll be routed to the authentic desktop app and browser tools for firmware updates and wallet management.
Whether you use Trezor Safe 3, Model T, or older models, the start page directs you to the right flow, minimizing setup mistakes.
Built-in checklists help you verify holograms, run genuine firmware, and store your recovery seed securely and offline.
Check tamper-evident seals and packaging. If anything looks altered, stop and contact support before connecting your device.
Use this official portal to avoid rogue installers. Bookmark it now to prevent typosquatting.
Download the Trezor companion app only via links originating at the start page. Verify your OS matches the download.
Follow on-screen prompts to initialize the device and, if prompted, update firmware directly within the official app flow.
Generate a wallet on-device. Never share or photograph your recovery seed. No employee will ever ask for it.
Write the seed on paper or a metal backup. Store in two separate secure locations. Do not store digitally.
Choose a PIN that isn’t guessable. Consider a passphrase for an extra layer of plausible deniability.
Before receiving funds, compare the address on your computer with the one shown on your Trezor screen.
Send a small amount initially to confirm you’ve set everything correctly, then proceed with larger transfers.
Keep the official app and firmware current. Use trezor.io/start to find legitimate update paths.
It’s the recommended official gateway because it routes you to the correct, authentic downloads and model-specific guides.
That’s normal for newly shipped devices. Approve updates within the official app only; do not install firmware from third-party sites.
Phishing often pressures you to “verify” your recovery seed or click urgent links. Close the page and re-enter the URL manually: trezor.io/start.
Yes—choose “Recover wallet” during setup and enter your seed only on the device when prompted. Never type it on your computer.
Your funds can be restored to a new Trezor (or compatible wallet) with your recovery seed. Keep backups safe and separate.
Same destination, color-coded for visibility. All point to the official start page.
Add https://trezor.io/start to your bookmarks so you never rely on ads or search results that could be spoofed.
No support agent will ever ask for your recovery seed. If someone does, it’s a scam—close the chat and return to the official page.
