How to Get Started at Trezor.io/start
Follow these steps to set up your Trezor device properly:
- Unbox Your Trezor: Ensure that the holographic seal on the box is intact to verify authenticity.
- Connect Your Device: Plug your Trezor device into your computer or mobile device using the USB cable provided.
- Visit Trezor.io/start: This official start page will automatically detect your device and guide you through the setup process.
- Install Trezor Suite: Download and install the Trezor Suite software, which allows you to manage your wallet securely.
- Initialize the Device: Choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed.
- Backup Your Recovery Seed: Write down your 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery phrase and store it in a secure location. This is crucial for restoring access to your wallet.

Security Tips During Setup
Your security begins at setup. Never take a picture of your recovery phrase or store it digitally. Trezor will never ask you to enter your recovery phrase online. If you are prompted to do so on any website other than Trezor.io or through the Trezor Suite app, exit immediately.
Troubleshooting and Support
If you encounter any issues during setup, Trezor.io/start includes a helpful support section. There, you'll find guides, FAQs, and troubleshooting tips. You can also reach out to the Trezor support team directly for personalized help.
Start Using Your Wallet
Once setup is complete, you can begin sending, receiving, and storing cryptocurrencies safely. Use Trezor Suite to manage your portfolio, track balances, and explore additional features such as coin swaps, staking (if available), and enhanced privacy settings.
