Before you begin

Ensure you have a stable internet connection, a desktop or laptop (recommended), and the original USB cable that came with your Trezor device. For the most secure experience, always start from the official Trezor start page and follow the Trezor.io/Start instructions. Use only trusted computers and avoid public or shared machines when initializing your device.

Tip: Bookmark the official start address to make future access simple: Trezor.io/Start — and always verify the page visually and via your browser for secure HTTPS connection.

Step-by-step: Initialize your device

Open the start page: Launch your browser and go to Trezor.io/Start. Confirm the page is correct (secure HTTPS, official domain) before plugging your device in.
Connect your device: Plug in your Trezor using the supplied cable. The device will display a “Welcome” screen and prompt you to follow on-screen instructions.
Install/confirm firmware: The start flow will check firmware. If an update is required, follow the secure prompts to install the latest firmware. Firmware updates are signed and verified by the device to prevent tampering.
Create or recover a wallet: Choose “Create new wallet” to generate a fresh recovery seed, or “Recover wallet” to restore using an existing seed. Write down the recovery words on the included recovery card — never store the seed digitally. This is the core of your crypto backup.
Follow device verification: The device will show the recovery words on its display during setup. Confirm the words using the device buttons. Never share these words with anyone and never type them into your computer.
Finalize: After confirming your seed and PIN, the start process will finish. You can then open Trezor Suite or connect to compatible wallets using the Trezor.io Start instructions to manage assets.

Security best practices

Use a strong PIN, keep your recovery seed offline, and never enter your recovery phrase into a computer, phone, or website. If you suspect your seed has been exposed, create a new wallet immediately and transfer funds. The Trezor.io Start sequence emphasizes safety checks — heed them.

Never share recovery words.
Buy only from authorized sellers and check the packaging for tampering.
Always verify firmware prompts on the device screen.

Troubleshooting common issues

If your device isn't recognized, try a different USB port or cable. Ensure your browser is up to date and that any blocking extensions or antivirus software aren’t preventing the Trezor.io Start connection. If firmware update fails, follow on-screen recovery steps and consult official support channels.

If you encounter unexpected prompts asking for your recovery words, treat that as a red flag and disconnect immediately. Recovery words are only ever displayed and confirmed on the device itself during setup.
