Welcome to your Trezor start
Trezor.io/start — Get started with your Trezor hardware wallet quickly and securely
This start page helps new and returning users set up a Trezor device, install official apps, verify firmware, recover wallets, and follow essential security steps. Whether you are completing your first Trezor setup or coming back to perform a firmware update, Trezor.io/start gives clear, step-by-step instructions for safe hardware wallet management.
Quick start setup
Plug your Trezor into a computer, open the official web or desktop app, create a new wallet or recover an existing seed phrase. Follow guided on-device prompts to write down your recovery phrase and confirm your device PIN.
Secure downloads
Always download installers and firmware from official channels. Verify signatures and checksums when provided. Avoid unofficial mirrors or third-party modified installers to keep your device secure.
Firmware & updates
Keep firmware updated for the latest security patches and features. Firmware updates are signed — follow on-screen verification steps on your device and in the official app.
Recovery & backup
Use the provided paper backup or seed card to store your recovery phrase offline. Never store the seed phrase digitally or share it online. For extra security, consider split backups or metal seed backups for disaster recovery.
Step-by-step: Trezor start checklist
Download & verify — Get the official app at the official domain and verify checksums.
Connect — Use a data-capable USB cable and avoid hubs when possible.
Create PIN — Set a secure PIN on-device; do not share it.
Write your recovery — Write the recovery seed exactly as shown and store offline.
Update firmware — If prompted, follow the official firmware update flow and confirm on-device.
Test — Send a small test transaction to confirm setup before moving larger funds.
Developers building integrations will find SDKs and API docs for connecting to Trezor devices safely. Use the official libraries, follow best practices for user prompts and never design flows that bypass user confirmation on the device. For enterprises, configure access controls, audit logs, and device lifecycle procedures to maintain secure custody.
