Before You Begin: What You’ll Need

To complete the setup at Trézor.io/Start, ensure you have the following:

  • A Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
  • A computer or mobile device with internet access
  • USB cable supplied with your wallet
  • Pen and paper to write down your recovery seed
  • Trezor Suite software (installed during the setup process)

Once everything is ready, you can begin the secure installation process.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Trezor at Trézor.io/Start

Follow this official method to complete your secure device setup:

1. Visit the Official Setup Page

Go to:
Trézor.io/Start

This ensures you download legitimate software directly from Trezor.

2. Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug your hardware wallet into your computer using the original USB cable.
Your device will power on immediately.

3. Install Trezor Suite

The installation prompt will appear once the device is detected.
Click Download Trezor Suite (available for Windows, macOS, and Linux).

After installation, launch Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen guidance.

4. Update Firmware

Your new wallet may require a firmware update.
This ensures the latest security enhancements are installed.

Click Install Firmware → Wait for completion → Reconnect the device.

5. Create a New Wallet

Select "Create new wallet" inside Trezor Suite.

Your device will now display a series of secret recovery words.

6. The Most Important Step: Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 secret words) is the only way to restore your crypto if:

  • Device is lost or damaged
  • You forget your PIN
  • Your wallet is reset accidentally

Write the words on paper exactly in the order shown.
Do not store them digitally (screenshots, cloud, mobile notes, etc.).

Keep the seed phrase in a secret location and never share it with anyone.
Trezor will never ask for your seed—if someone does, it’s a scam.

7. Set a Strong PIN

Choose a PIN using the secure keypad shown in Trezor Suite.

Avoid predictable combinations like 1234 or birth dates.
If someone steals your device, the PIN prevents unauthorized access.

Your Trezor Is Now Ready!

Once the backup and PIN are set, your hardware wallet is fully operational.
You can manage all your assets directly through Trezor Suite.
