Welcome to Trezor.io/Start. This concise, human-friendly guide gets you from unboxing to secure-use in minutes. Follow these steps to set up your Trezor hardware wallet, protect your private keys offline, and confidently manage cryptocurrency with industry-standard security.

Why use a Trezor hardware wallet?

Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline and under your control — protecting crypto assets from remote hacks, phishing, and device compromise. Trezor devices are built for simplicity and strong cryptography, making them ideal for both beginners and advanced users seeking robust, long-term security.

Quick setup steps

1 — Prepare

Buy from an authorized seller, inspect packaging, and have a pen and secure place for your recovery seed.

2 — Initialize

Connect your Trezor and open Trezor.io/Start. Follow on-screen prompts to create a new wallet or restore an existing one.

3 — Backup

Write down your recovery seed on the provided card. Store it offline in a safe place — this seed is the sole recovery method.

4 — Protect

Set a PIN and enable additional protections like passphrase support for layered security.

Best practices for ongoing safety

Always confirm addresses on the device screen, update firmware only from official sources, and never share your recovery seed. Consider using a dedicated, offline location for backups and diversify storage to reduce single-point risk.
