Welcome — Begin your secure crypto journey
Get Started with Trezor at Trezor.io/start is a step-by-step guide designed to make setup simple while maximizing security. The 'Get Started with Trezor' path walks you through verification, software installation, seed creation, and best practices — everything you need to begin using your Trezor hardware wallet with confidence.
Carefully inspect packaging and ensure tamper-evident seals are intact. Use the recommended verification checks to confirm your device is genuine before connecting.
Download Trezor Suite or connect via supported wallets. If your system requires a bridge service for USB communication, install Trezor Bridge from official links. Always verify download fingerprints when provided.
Follow the on-device prompts to generate a recovery seed. Write the words down on the supplied card or an indestructible medium. Store copies in geographically separated secure locations if needed.
Protect your device with a PIN and consider enabling a passphrase for an extra layer of security. Keep both secure — losing them can lock you out of your funds.
Send a small amount to confirm address verification and signing behavior. Verify every transaction on the device screen before approving.
Security-first best practices
- Always use official download links to avoid malicious installers.
- Never reveal your recovery seed — Trezor staff will never ask for it.
- Use firmware verification during setup to ensure authenticity.
- Consider Shamir Secret Sharing or split backups for higher security needs.
The 'Get Started with Trezor' flow emphasizes these best practices to keep your private keys safe and make your everyday crypto tasks less risky. Following the start guide reduces attack surface and helps you recover confidently should something go wrong.

What if I lose my recovery seed?
