Setting up your Trezor through Trezor.io/Start is designed to be straightforward, even for beginners. Here’s what you can expect:
Plug in your Trezor via USB. The setup page will automatically detect your model and guide you through the right steps.
Trezor Suite is the all-in-one desktop application for managing your crypto. You’ll download it from the official page, avoiding the risk of tampered or fake apps.
During setup, your device may need a firmware update. This step ensures your wallet is running the latest, most secure version available.
You’ll be prompted to create a new wallet and generate a recovery seed—a 12- or 24-word phrase that serves as your backup.
One of the most critical steps in setting up your Trezor is writing down your recovery seed. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your Trezor is ever lost, damaged, or stolen.
Here’s how to handle it safely:
Write it down on paper (not your phone or computer)
Store it offline in a safe, secure place
Never share it with anyone
Never take a photo or screenshot of it
Trezor.io/Start emphasizes this step because if someone gains access to your recovery seed, they can access your funds—even without your device.
