Get Securely Started with Your Trezor

A simple, official walkthrough to set up your Trezor hardware wallet — install Trezor Bridge and Trezor Suite, update firmware, and create or recover a wallet securely.

Tip: Always verify the URL — use trezor.io/start and avoid lookalike domains.

Why Trezor?

Hardware-level security that keeps your private keys offline. Resistant to malware, phishing, and remote attacks.

Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop app for managing accounts, checking balances, and sending transactions safely.

Trezor Bridge

A lightweight connector enabling secure browser-to-device communication for web wallets and DApps.

Step-by-step setup

1

Unbox & connect

Inspect the box for tamper evidence, then connect your Trezor to your computer with the supplied cable.

2

Install Bridge & Suite

Go to the official start page to download and install Trezor Bridge, then install Trezor Suite for your OS.

3

Update firmware

If prompted, update your device firmware. This closes known security issues and improves compatibility.

4

Create or restore wallet

Create a new wallet or restore using your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Write it down on physical paper — never store it digitally.

What you should know

The Trezor ecosystem separates the interface (Trezor Suite) from the device's secure element. Trezor Login uses public-key cryptography to sign in to compatible apps without exposing your private keys. Always enable a strong PIN and consider passphrase protection for an extra layer of security.
