START WITH THE BASICS 01
Before you plug in,
get set up for success.
Use a trusted computer or phone, a reliable internet connection, and the cable supplied with your wallet. Find a quiet moment to complete setup without rushing. If your device is new, check that its packaging and contents look as expected before you begin.
For your protection, start from the official website by typing trezor.io/start into your browser yourself. Check the spelling and domain carefully; avoid sponsored search results, unexpected messages, and links sent by strangers. This page is an independent guide, not the official Trezor website.
THE FIRST CONNECTION 02
Four steady steps.
Follow the current instructions shown by the official setup flow and your device. Screens may differ slightly by model.
Connect your wallet
Attach the device with its cable and follow the on-screen prompts. Install or update the companion software only through the official instructions.
Create your wallet
Choose the new-wallet option if this is your first setup. Review each confirmation on the device screen; never approve an action you did not start.
Keep recovery words offline
Write down your recovery words exactly as instructed and store them somewhere private and secure. They restore access to your funds, so never photograph, email, or share them.
YOUR SECURITY CHECK 03
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER
Secret means secret.
Your recovery words and PIN belong only to you. No legitimate support person needs them—not by chat, phone, email, or a website.

NEED A HAND?
Use official support channels.
If setup behaves unexpectedly, stop and check the official support resources. Never share your recovery words with anyone claiming they can fix your wallet.
