Welcome to the world of Trézor®, the trusted name in hardware wallets for cryptocurrency users around the world. If you’ve just purchased a Trézor device—either the Model One or Model T—the first step is visiting Trezor.io/Start. This is the official and secure place to begin your device setup, install firmware, and create your cryptocurrency wallet.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step to get your Trézor up and running, ensuring your crypto is protected from online threats.
Before you begin, gather the following:
🔒 IMPORTANT: Only purchase your Trézor device from the official website or verified resellers to avoid counterfeit or compromised products.
Open your browser and visit:

This page redirects you to download Trézor Suite, the official desktop application for managing your wallet.
Click “Download” for your operating system and install the software. Trézor Suite provides a secure, easy-to-use interface for all wallet functions.
Plug your Trézor into your computer using the USB cable. The Trézor Suite app will recognize the device and guide you through the next steps.
New Trézor devices are shipped without firmware to ensure security. You’ll be prompted to install the latest official firmware. This only takes a few moments.
⚠️ Do not disconnect your device during the firmware installation.
After the firmware is installed, choose “Create a new wallet”. This will generate a unique recovery seed—a series of 12, 18, or 24 words displayed only once on your device screen.
Write down the recovery seed exactly as shown on the device screen. This is your only way to recover your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
🛑 If someone asks for your seed phrase, it’s a scam—even if they claim to be support staff.
Now, you’ll be asked to set a PIN on your device. This PIN protects your device if someone tries to access it physically.
🧠 Choose a PIN that is hard to guess, but easy for you to remember.
For advanced users, Trézor offers an optional passphrase feature, also known as the 25th word. This adds another layer of protection but must be remembered perfectly—there’s no way to recover it.
Once you’ve completed the setup, Trézor Suite becomes your go-to dashboard for:
