Connect & identify
Plug your Trezor into the computer and navigate to Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device®. The site will detect the device and direct you through a secure handshake. Confirm the device model and serial shown on-screen match your physical device to ensure authenticity.
Install official Bridge or app
Follow instructions on Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device® to install the official helper app if required. Official downloads reduce driver conflicts and enable secure firmware verification — always prefer links labeled from the official domain.
Create or recover a wallet
On Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device®, choose "Create new" to generate a new seed phrase or "Recover" to restore from an existing one.

Verify firmware & updates
Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device® guides you to verify official firmware signatures. Install updates only when prompted by the official interface. Verifying firmware reduces the risk of tampered devices and preserves the secure hardware root of trust.
Pin & security settings
Set a strong PIN and optional passphrase through the Trezor UI on Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device®. Use the passphrase feature only if you understand it; it adds a powerful extra layer by creating hidden wallets that require both your seed and passphrase to access.
Test with a small transaction
Before transferring large amounts, use Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device® recommendations to send a small test transaction to confirm addresses and signing behavior. Confirm details on the device screen to avoid phishing or UI injection attacks.
Keep your backup safe
Store your handwritten recovery in multiple secure locations. Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device® suggests using fireproof storage and treating the recovery like the single key to your funds. If someone gains your seed and passphrase, they can access your assets.
