A concise, presentation-style walkthrough for first-time setup, secure recovery, and basic user management with your Trezor device.
Official Start Link Inside ×10This presentation is a practical field guide to getting started with your Trezor hardware wallet using the official onboarding hub at Trezor.io/start. You’ll learn the secure flow for first-time initialization, how to verify downloads, create and back up a recovery seed, and manage everyday use inside Trezor Suite. Most tasks begin at Trezor.io/start, which provides device-specific instructions and fresh installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Why it matters: Using the official link prevents fake installers and keeps your seed phrase private. Bookmark Trezor.io/start and return there whenever you need authoritative guidance.
Confirm that the hologram seal is intact, packaging is undamaged, and the device shows no signs of tampering. Do not use used or pre-initialized devices.
Open Trezor.io/start from your own bookmark or by typing it directly. Avoid search-engine ads or link shorteners. The official page will route you based on model (Trezor Safe 3, Model One, Model T, etc.).
From Trezor.io/start, choose the Trezor Suite installer for your platform. The page provides the newest stable versions and signatures.
Check the digital signature or hash provided at Trezor.io/start. On macOS, right‑click the app and inspect the developer signature; on Windows, view the file properties; on Linux, compare checksums in your terminal.
In Trezor Suite, you’ll be asked to create a new wallet or recover with an existing seed. If a third party ever provides you with a seed, stop—this is a scam.
Choose a strong PIN and memorize it. The device enforces increasing delays after failed attempts.
A passphrase adds a secret “25th/extra” word to derive a hidden wallet. Only use this if you understand how to reproduce it; forgetting it permanently locks that hidden wallet.
When prompted, write each word on the supplied card with clear handwriting. Do not take photos, store it in the cloud, or save it on a computer.
Suite will ask you to confirm random words. Double‑check the order and spelling. If you make a mistake, reset immediately and start again via Trezor.io/start.
Connect your device and open Suite to view a read‑only portfolio. Add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported networks. Addresses are generated on‑device and verified on the screen.
Always confirm the receiving address on your Trezor screen. If it doesn’t match, cancel. Generate fresh addresses as needed; reuse reduction is better for privacy.
Paste the destination, set the fee, and confirm on the device screen. For large transfers, test with a small amount first.
Use Suite’s built‑in updater or revisit Trezor.io/start for current guidance. Keep firmware current to benefit from security fixes.
You can organize separate accounts (e.g., personal vs. business) within Suite. For stricter isolation, use distinct passphrases to derive separate hidden wallets.
Use Suite’s labeling and notes to keep track of which account is which. Hardware‑based confirmations keep spending clear and deliberate.
If multiple people need visibility, consider view‑only public keys in watch‑only software. For shared control, evaluate multisig setups, but practice recovery first.
Schedule periodic checks to ensure your seed is readable and stored safely. If you change your threat model, reset and re‑initialize from Trezor.io/start.
Only download from Trezor.io/start. Avoid extensions or mobile apps claiming to be “Trezor Suite” unless confirmed on the official site.
Immediately move funds to a new wallet initialized from a fresh device or after a secure reset via Trezor.io/start, and treat any prior seed as compromised.
Trezor isolates private keys on the hardware. Still, malware can trick you into sending to the wrong address. Always verify addresses on the device screen.
Yes. If you have a BIP‑39 seed, you can recover it on Trezor during setup. Do this privately, and then rotate to a new seed when convenient.
Use Suite’s guided updater. If you’re unsure, start again at Trezor.io/start for model‑specific steps.
Always at the official hub: Trezor.io/start.
No. No one can recover your seed. Support will never ask for it. Re‑read the backup section and practice safe storage.
