Model detection, firmware & updates via Trezor Suite

Welcome to Trezor.io/start — your secure gateway to owning and protecting digital assets with the industry’s most trusted hardware wallet. Whether you’re setting up your first device or recovering an existing wallet, this guide walks you step-by-step through a fast, safe, and user-friendly onboarding experience designed for both beginners and experienced crypto users.

Begin by verifying your package and unboxing your Trezor device. Each unit arrives tamper-evident and sealed to ensure authenticity. Follow the included quickstart card and connect your device to a computer or mobile device using the supplied cable. The setup wizard at Trezor.io/start will detect your model and present clear, device-specific instructions.

Create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If you’re creating a new wallet, the device will generate a unique recovery seed — a human-readable sequence of words that is the only way to restore access to your funds. Write your recovery phrase on the supplied recovery card and store it in a safe, offline location. Never save your seed digitally, share it with anyone, or enter it on a website. If you’re recovering, carefully input your existing seed using the device interface to restore your accounts.

Security is central to every step. The Trezor device signs transactions offline, keeping private keys isolated from internet-connected devices. Confirm every transaction on the device’s screen — this ensures that malicious software cannot alter transaction details without your knowledge. Use the built-in passphrase feature for an additional layer of protection: it creates an extra, hidden wallet that’s only accessible with your chosen passphrase.

Manage multiple cryptocurrencies with intuitive account management tools. Trezor supports hundreds of coins and tokens through its native Trezor Suite application and integrations with popular third-party wallets and exchanges. Trezor Suite offers portfolio overviews, secure coin swaps, and firmware update checks, all within a polished, easy-to-navigate interface.

Keep software and firmware updated. Firmware updates include critical security improvements and new feature support. Always download updates through Trezor Suite or from Trezor.io to avoid counterfeit software. Follow on-screen prompts to update firmware; the device will guide you through verification and installation.

If you run into issues, Trezor’s support resources are available at every step. Visit the support hub for troubleshooting articles, video tutorials, and community guides. For sensitive problems involving lost recovery phrases or device behavior, consult official support channels and avoid public forums for sharing private details.

For advanced users, Trezor provides developer tools and open-source code for transparency and custom integrations. Security audits are publicly available, and the Trezor team collaborates with researchers to maintain high security standards.

By following Trezor.io/start, you’ll establish a secure foundation for managing digital assets with confidence. Prioritize physical security for your recovery phrase, confirm transactions on your device, and keep firmware up to date. With these best practices, Trezor turns complex cryptographic protection into an approachable, dependable experience — so you can focus on what matters: owning and using your crypto safely. Start now at Trezor.io/start and secure your crypto with the confidence of hardware-backed protection today.

Verify the tamper-evident packaging, use the Trezor.io/start setup wizard, and always download firmware through Trezor Suite or Trezor.io.
If your seed is lost and you don’t have another backup, funds cannot be recovered. Trezor cannot restore lost recovery phrases — keep them physically secure.
