Welcome to the official Trezor Start onboarding page. This resource provides a straightforward, secure path to initialize your Trezor device, verify firmware integrity, generate or restore a recovery seed, and adopt practical security habits that protect your crypto assets.
Check tamper-evident seals, box condition, and included accessories. Any sign of tampering should be reported to official support — do not proceed.
Use a modern browser and verify the address bar. The official start page will guide you to install any required bridge or drivers and will detect your device to start the onboarding flow.
Choose 'Create a new wallet' to generate a fresh seed, or 'Restore wallet' if you already have a recovery phrase. Never enter your recovery seed into apps, web pages, or messages — it belongs only on paper or approved physical backups.
Your device will display the recovery words. Record them exactly and in order. Use the supplied recovery card or a durable backup solution; avoid taking photos or saving words digitally.
Choose a PIN to lock physical access. Optionally enable a passphrase for an additional hidden-wallet layer. Understand the recovery implications before using a passphrase.
Run the official firmware check and apply updates only through the verified flow. Confirm firmware signatures to ensure authenticity and preserve the device's trustchain.
Hardware wallets like Trezor keep private keys inside a secure environment that never exposes them to your computer or the internet. Proper initialization and careful handling of the recovery seed are essential to maintain this security model. Skipping steps or using unverified tools can put your funds at risk.
