Trezor.io/Start — Starting Up Your Device™

Quick start — Trezor.io/Start

Welcome! This page helps you with Starting Up Your Device using the official Trezor.io/Start flow. Follow the steps below for a secure setup that keeps your crypto safe and under your control.

1. Unbox & verify

Inspect the packaging seal and serial. Always visit Trezor.io/Start (type the address) — do not follow links in emails or chat.

2. Connect device

Plug in your Trezor using the supplied cable. Open a trusted browser and go to Trezor.io/Start to begin the guided setup.

3. Install firmware

The device will automatically suggest installing the latest firmware. Only install official firmware from the Trezor web app.

4. Create a backup

Write down your recovery seed on the supplied card. Keep it offline and in a secure location; do not photograph or store it digitally.

Why this matters: your Trezor hardware wallet stores private keys offline. Starting Up Your Device correctly prevents phishing, data loss, and unauthorized access.

Pro tip

When you arrive at Trezor.io/Start the site will walk you through firmware and PIN setup. Choose a PIN you'll remember but isn't guessable; longer is better.

Security reminder

Never enter your recovery seed on a computer or online form. Trezor will never ask for your seed—only for verification on the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What URL should I use to start?

Always type https://trezor.io/start into your browser or navigate from the official Trezor homepage — this page references Trezor.io/Start as the canonical onboarding route.

2. Can I back up my seed digitally?

No. Back up your recovery seed on paper (or a metal backup). Do not store it on a phone, cloud, or photo — doing so risks theft.

3. What if the firmware install fails?

Try a different USB cable/port and the official Trezor web app at Trezor.io/Start. If problems persist, contact official support and do not use third-party firmware.

4. Will Trezor ever ask for my recovery seed?

Never. If someone or a website asks for your recovery seed, it is fraudulent. Your seed is only to be written and kept offline.

5. How do I verify addresses before sending crypto?

Always verify the receiving address on your Trezor device screen — not just in your browser — as part of the Starting Up Your Device safety routine.
