1
Unbox & connect
Unpack your device. Connect your Trezor to a computer or mobile device using the supplied cable. Open the browser and visit Trezor.io/start to begin the verified setup process.
2
Create a new wallet
On Trezor.io/start follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet. Set a secure PIN, write down the recovery seed, and store it offline. This ensures your private keys remain safe within the Trezor hardware wallet.
3
Backup & recovery
Trezor provides a 12 to 24-word recovery phrase. Keep the recovery phrase offline and in a secure place. Do not share it online. This recovery phrase is the only way to restore your hardware wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Use securely
When managing coins, double-check addresses on the device screen, enable passphrase protection if needed, and use official apps and verified websites. Trezor Start will guide you to recognized partners and integrations.

Quick tips & best practices

The safety of your crypto largely depends on following a few straightforward rules. Keep your recovery phrase offline. Never type your recovery phrase into a website or share it. Use the official Trezor setup at Trezor.io/start for a verified onboarding flow. Consider using a passphrase and multiple secure backups for long-term holdings.

Common tasks

  • Check device authenticity — Verify the hologram and tamper-evidence upon receipt.
  • Secure storage — Store backup seed in a physically safe location such as a safe or bank deposit box.
  • Software & apps — Use official Trezor Bridge or Trezor Suite from recognized sources.
  • Phishing awareness — Always confirm domains and bookmarks. Bookmark Trezor.io/start and only use trusted links.
