| Starting Up Your Device | Trézor® — Trezor.io/start

Step-by-step onboarding to start your Trezor safely: Suite install, firmware check, recovery seed, and PIN setup.

Take control of your crypto securely

Trézor® hardware wallets ensure your private keys never leave the device, protecting your crypto from malware and phishing attacks. This guide introduces you to safe setup practices: downloading Trezor Suite, verifying authenticity, creating your recovery phrase, and locking your device with a PIN or passphrase. Each step keeps you in full control of your digital assets.

1. Download Suite

Go to trezor.io/start and get the correct installer for your OS. Never trust unofficial download links.

2. Connect & update

Plug in your Trezor. If firmware is missing or outdated, Suite will guide you through the update. Verify fingerprints match before approving.

3. Record recovery seed

Your device will display 12–24 words. Write them on paper or a metal backup. Keep them offline and never share them with anyone.

4. Secure with PIN

Choose a PIN only you know. Optionally enable a passphrase for additional hidden wallets, giving you privacy and flexibility.

On-device approval

Every transaction must be confirmed on your Trezor screen. Attackers cannot bypass this physical check.

Multiple coins supported

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and thousands of tokens in one unified interface with Suite updates.

Privacy tools

Enable Tor, discreet mode, or connect to your own node. Trezor gives you power to transact privately and securely.

Security tips

  • Download software only from trezor.io.
  • Always confirm addresses on the device display.
  • Update firmware to stay protected against threats.
  • Keep seed backups offline, preferably in multiple safe locations.
  • Never type your seed into a computer or phone.

With these steps, you can start using your Trézor® confidently. Download Suite, complete your device setup, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your crypto is secured offline and under your sole control.
