Trezor Wallet Setup — Trezor.io/start

Quick guide to get your Trezor hardware wallet ready and secure

Overview

This short presentation walks you through the essential steps to set up your Trezor device using the official Trezor.io/start resources. Follow the шаги below for a secure initialization, firmware check, and best practices for backup and recovery.

Before you begin (what you need)

  • A compatible computer or mobile device with an up-to-date browser.
  • An official Trezor device (Model T or One).
  • Your recovery seed written on the supplied recovery card — never store this digitally.

Step-by-step setup

1. Visit the official start page

Open your browser and go to Trezor.io/start. This page will guide you to the latest version of the setup app and instructions.

2. Connect your Trezor and follow the in-app prompts

When prompted, allow the web app to access the device, update firmware if required, and create a new wallet. If an update is offered, install it — firmware updates often include security improvements.

3. Create and store your recovery seed

Write your recovery seed on the recovery sheet provided and keep it offline in a safe location. This seed is the only backup of your funds — losing it may mean losing access permanently.

4. Set a PIN and test your wallet

Choose a strong PIN and test sending a small amount of crypto before transferring larger amounts. Confirm all addresses on the device screen before approving transactions.

Security best practices

Always buy from the official store or an authorized reseller. Never accept a device with a broken seal or unexpected packaging. Keep firmware updated and use a PIN + passphrase if you need additional protection.

  • Never type your recovery seed on a computer or phone.
  • Use a passphrase only if you understand how it works — losing it means losing that account's funds.
  • Verify receiving addresses on the device screen before sending funds.

FAQ

Q: Is Trezor.io/start the official setup page?

A: Yes — Trezor.io/start is the official entry point for initializing and managing Trezor devices.

Q: Can I restore my wallet from the recovery seed?

A: Yes — use the recovery option in the Trezor setup app to restore your wallet with the seed. Keep the seed secure and private at all times.

Q: What if the firmware update fails?

A: Retry the update and consult Trezor support if problems persist. Do not use unofficial tools to force updates.

Q: Should I add a passphrase?

A: A passphrase adds a second secret to your seed — it increases security but also increases responsibility. If you use it, store the passphrase separately and securely.
