Get started in three steps
The official start flow at Trezor.io/start helps you initialize, update firmware, and connect to supported wallets. Below is a condensed, plain-language walkthrough.
1
Unbox & connect
Unpack your Trezor, inspect the seal, then connect it to your computer via USB or USB-C.
2
Visit Trezor.io/start
Open the official URL on your desktop browser. Follow on-screen prompts to install Trezor Bridge or approve browser access if requested.
3
Initialize securely
Create a new wallet or recover from seed. Write down your recovery phrase offline — never store it digitally.
Quick safety tips
- Always use Trezor.io/start — do not follow links from unknown emails.
- Verify firmware prompts on the device display.
- Keep your recovery seed offline and private.
Advanced (optional)
Developers and advanced users can interact with the device using tools and CLI utilities. Example: list connected devices (Linux/macOS example):
lsusb | grep -i trezor # or using Trezorctl (example) trezorctl list
Common questions
What is Trezor.io/start?
It's the official guided start page from Trezor that leads you through setup, firmware updates, and secure initialization.
My browser doesn't detect the device — what now?
Try reconnecting the cable, enabling the bridge or extension, or restarting your browser. Also ensure you downloaded any requested helper app from the official site.
Can I recover an existing wallet?
Yes — choose the "Recover wallet" option and follow the recovery phrase prompts. Type carefully and avoid copy/paste.
