Starting® Up® Your® Device — Trezor.io/Start

Official onboarding guide: download Trezor Suite, install authentic firmware, create your recovery seed, and secure your wallet.

Begin your journey to secure crypto self-custody

Trezor hardware wallets give you full control over your crypto. This step-by-step landing page explains how to install Trezor Suite®, connect and verify your device, create and protect your recovery phrase, set a PIN and optional passphrase, and send your first transaction securely. Each step has been simplified for clarity so even first-time users can follow with confidence.

1. Download safely

Get Trezor Suite directly from trezor.io/start. Select the correct version for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Only trust the official site to avoid tampered software.

2. Connect & verify

Plug your device into the computer. Suite will prompt you to install or check firmware. Confirm the fingerprint displayed on your device matches the one in Suite before approving.

3. Create recovery seed

Record the 12–24 word recovery seed shown on your device screen. Write it on paper or engrave on a metal backup. Never take digital photos or store online.

4. Set PIN & passphrase

Choose a strong PIN to lock the device. Optionally enable passphrase protection to create hidden wallets, giving you extra privacy and security.

Offline key storage

Your private keys never leave your Trezor hardware, shielding them from malware and phishing attacks on your computer.

Multi-currency support

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, Solana, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens in one interface, with ongoing updates for new assets.

Privacy options

Route connections through Tor, use discreet mode to hide balances, or connect to your own node for maximum sovereignty and privacy.
