Why the official start page matters

The official setup flow ensures you’re downloading authentic software and checking the device’s integrity. Avoid search‑ad impostors—type the URL by hand and bookmark it. Starting right reduces risk and builds good habits for the long run.

Genuine downloads: Get the desktop app or web interface from the source.
On‑device seed: Your recovery words appear on the hardware screen only.
You approve everything: Addresses and amounts must match on the device before you confirm.

Setup in six clear steps

  1. 1) Go to the official page: Type trezor.io/start directly. Bookmark it for future use.
  2. 2) Connect & install: Plug in your device and follow prompts to install the official app or use the trusted web flow.
  3. 3) Initialize & update: Create a new wallet and apply firmware updates if prompted. Read every screen—no rushing.
  4. 4) Record your recovery seed: Write each word in order, twice. Never photograph, copy‑paste, or store it online.
  5. 5) Set a strong PIN (and optional passphrase): Choose a long, memorable PIN. Only add a passphrase if you fully understand the trade‑offs.
  6. 6) Verify receiving address: Generate a receive address and confirm it on the device screen before sharing.

Quick FAQ

What is a recovery seed and why is it critical?

Your seed (12–24 words) is the key to your funds. Anyone with it can spend your coins. Store it offline—paper or metal—and never type it into websites, chats, or cloud notes.

Desktop app or web—what’s safer?

Both are supported via the official start page. The desktop app reduces browser risks; the web flow is convenient. Choose the one that fits your setup, but always start at trezor.io/start.

Should I use a passphrase?

A passphrase adds a secret that creates an extra wallet. It’s powerful but unforgiving—lose it and those funds cannot be recovered. Use it only if you fully understand management and backups.

How do I verify I’m on the legitimate site?

Type the URL manually, check the certificate, and compare digital signatures for installers when available. If anything feels off, stop and contact official support channels.
