Trézor.io/Start — Starting Up™ Your Device

Getting a hardware wallet ready for the first time should be straightforward. This guide explains the basic setup journey, important security checks, and where to find the official Trezor setup resources.

A simple way to begin

Before using your hardware wallet, take a moment to verify the device, use trusted software, and understand the recovery process.

1

Check your device

Start by inspecting the package and hardware. If anything appears unusual or unexpected, pause the setup and contact official support before continuing.

2

Use official software

Download or open wallet software only through trusted, official sources. Avoid setup files or browser links sent through unsolicited messages.

3

Follow the device prompts

Connect your device and follow the instructions displayed by the official setup software. Read each security message carefully before confirming an action.

Security comes first

A hardware wallet is designed to keep sensitive wallet operations protected. Your recovery information deserves special attention.

Important security reminders

  • Never share your recovery seed with another person or website.
  • Never enter recovery words into an online form because someone asked you to.
  • Be cautious of websites that imitate wallet brands or use misleading addresses.
  • Keep your recovery information offline and protected from unauthorized access.
  • When in doubt, stop and verify information through official support channels.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about starting with a hardware wallet.

Where should I begin my Trezor setup?

Use the official Trezor setup resource and follow the instructions provided for your specific device.

Should I share my recovery phrase?

No. A recovery phrase is highly sensitive wallet information. It should never be shared with websites, support agents, strangers, or anyone claiming they need it to unlock your wallet.

How can I recognize a suspicious setup website?

Check the domain carefully, avoid links from unsolicited messages, and navigate to the official manufacturer's website yourself whenever possible.

What should I do if something looks wrong?

Stop the setup rather than entering sensitive information. Verify the website and contact official support through a trusted channel.

Ready to continue?

For the actual device setup process, use the official Trezor website rather than an unofficial form or third-party page.
