Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Up Your Trezor® Device

1. Visit Trezor.io/Start®

Open a secure browser and go to Trezor.io/Start. Ensure you are not redirected to a third-party domain, as phishing attempts often use fake pages to trick users into revealing recovery seeds.

At this official link, you will select your device model:

Once selected, you'll be prompted to download and install the Trezor Suite, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

2. Download and Install Trezor® Suite

Trezor® Suite is the official desktop application designed to help you interact with your device in a secure, user-friendly environment. It includes features such as:

Download the installer from the official site, verify the file, and install the Suite before continuing the hardware setup.

3. Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor® Model One or Model T into your computer using the supplied USB cable. You may be prompted to install the latest firmware. If your device is brand new, this step ensures it runs only official, authenticated code.

For Trezor® Model T, use the touchscreen to confirm each action. For the Model One, use the physical buttons.

4. Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One

After connecting your device, Trezor Suite will offer two paths:

Important: Your recovery seed is the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Never store it online or photograph it. Always write it down on paper and keep it in a secure, offline location.

Understanding the Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is a human-readable backup of your wallet. When you first create a wallet, the Trezor® device will display 12 to 24 English words in a specific order. You must write these down in the exact sequence and confirm them before proceeding.

This seed allows anyone to regenerate your entire wallet, which is why:

Once confirmed, your wallet is ready, and your device is now a fully functioning hardware vault for your digital assets.

Set a Device PIN and Optional Passphrase

As part of the initialization process, you’ll set up a device PIN — this prevents unauthorized access if the hardware wallet is physically stolen.

You can also activate the passphrase feature, which adds a layer of security by creating a hidden wallet. This wallet only becomes accessible when the correct passphrase is entered along with the PIN.

Passphrases are ideal for:

This feature is entirely optional but recommended for advanced users who prioritize security.

First Use: Receiving and Sending Crypto

After setup, your wallet is ready to receive cryptocurrency. From within Trezor Suite:

  1. Click “Receive” and generate a new wallet address.
  2. Verify the address on your device’s screen.
  3. Share this address with the sender.

When sending crypto:

Your private keys never leave the Trezor® device — every transaction is signed internally, making your keys immune to viruses or malware on your computer.
