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.

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.

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.
