Trezor.io/start — Official Setup for Trezor Wallets

Overview

This short presentation walks through the official Trezor setup process, practical security tips, and simple troubleshooting. Whether you are unboxing your first hardware wallet or refreshing your process, follow the official onboarding at Trezor.io/start — Official Setup and review the security notes below.

What you will need

• Your Trezor device (Model T or One)
• A computer with an up-to-date browser or an official Trezor-compatible app
• A USB cable and a clean table to write down your recovery seed

Quick steps (summary)

1. Visit the official setup page: Trezor.io/start — Official Setup.
2. Follow on-screen instructions to update firmware if prompted.
3. Create a new wallet, securely record your recovery phrase, and set a PIN.
4. Confirm the device is working by sending a small test transaction.

Step-by-step official setup

1. Start at the official page

Always start at the official onboarding page. Open a fresh browser window and navigate to Trezor.io/start — Official Setup. The official site will guide you to install any official bridge or connect with the web app.

2. Check firmware and software

The device will often require a firmware update immediately on first use. Only install firmware offered by the official interface.

3. Create wallet and backup

When the device generates your recovery phrase, write it down on the supplied card or a metal backup and store it securely. Do not take photos or store the seed phrase digitally.

4. Set a PIN and passphrase (optional)

PIN prevents immediate access if your Trezor is stolen. A passphrase (optional) adds an extra layer but remember: if you forget a passphrase, your funds may be unrecoverable.

Troubleshooting & best practices

Connectivity problems

If your Trezor does not connect, try another USB port or cable and confirm your browser is up to date. Revisit Trezor.io/start — Official Setup for device-specific guidance.

Firmware or software warnings

Never install unofficial firmware. If you see unexpected prompts that do not match the official flow, disconnect and verify at Trezor.io/start — Official Setup.

Transaction testing

Always send a small test transaction first. Once the test arrives, you can send larger amounts.

Security checklist

• Download firmware and apps only from official sources.
• Record the recovery seed offline and store it in secure locations.
• Use a strong, unique PIN and consider a passphrase only if you will reliably remember or securely store it.
• Verify device addresses on the hardware screen before confirming transactions.
