1

Unpack & verify authenticity

Check packaging for tamper seals and verify serial numbers. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact the seller. Purchasing from verified retailers reduces risk—Trezor.io/Start has resources to confirm authenticity.

2

Connect to your computer

Use the provided cable. Launch a secure browser and navigate directly to Trezor.io/Start. The official site will detect your device and initiate the recommended onboarding flow—avoid third-party installers.

3

Follow firmware prompts

If firmware needs installation, the Trezor Start sequence will guide you. Confirm the firmware fingerprint on the device screen. Firmware integrity ensures your device runs trusted code.

4

Create a secure PIN

Set your PIN on the device itself. The PIN safeguards access if the device is misplaced. Use a non-obvious combination and avoid storing it with your recovery seed.

5

Record your recovery seed

Carefully write each word of the recovery seed in order. Use the included card or a durable metal backup for long-term storage. Your seed is the ultimate backup—keep it offline and private.

6

Manage assets & test

Connect to supported wallets to add accounts, receive funds, and sign transactions. Always run a small test transfer before moving significant amounts to cold storage.

Practical tips for long-term safety

  • Only use official sites: Trezor.io/Start is the trusted start point.
  • Never enter your recovery seed on a website or phone.
  • Consider adding a passphrase (BIP39) to create an extra secure layer.
  • Keep backups in separate secure locations to guard against disasters.
  • Confirm firmware updates only via the official start flow.
