Your trusted gateway to setting up and securing your Trézor® hardware wallet
Trézor.io/start® is the official starting point for new Trézor® hardware wallet users. Setting up a hardware wallet for the first time can feel overwhelming, but with Trézor®, the process is designed to be simple, secure, and beginner-friendly. By following the guided instructions, you can ensure your device is properly initialized, protected, and ready to store your digital assets safely.
Begin by unboxing your Trézor® and connecting it to your computer or smartphone. Use the provided USB cable or a compatible adapter. Once connected, navigate to Trézor.io/start®, where you will find the official software setup instructions. This ensures you are using the authentic platform for device initialization.
New devices are shipped without pre-installed firmware. This prevents tampering during shipping. When you connect your wallet for the first time, you will be prompted to install the latest firmware directly from the Trézor® website. This step is crucial for ensuring you are using the most up-to-date and secure software available.
Always verify that you are on the official Trézor.io/start® website to avoid phishing risks. Bookmark the page for future use.
Once the firmware is installed, you can proceed to create a new wallet. The setup will generate a unique recovery seed phrase. Write this phrase down on paper and store it in a safe place. Never share your seed phrase online or with anyone else. This is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
After your wallet is created, set up additional security features such as a PIN or passphrase. From there, you can begin transferring and managing your cryptocurrency portfolio with full confidence. The Trézor® Suite application offers an intuitive interface for managing coins, tokens, and NFTs all in one secure place.
