THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP

Your backup is
the master key.

Your wallet backup can restore access if your device is lost or damaged. Anyone who gets it may be able to access your wallet. Treat it as highly sensitive information.

Protect your backup
BACKUP RULES

Keep it
yours alone.

  • Never share your recovery words — not even with someone claiming to be support.
  • Enter them only on your Trezor device when the official instructions require it.
  • Keep your written backup offline, private, and protected from damage or theft.
  • Pause if a message, website, or person creates urgency or asks for your backup.
No legitimate support agent needs your recovery words.
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE PROTECTING

A little context
goes a long way.

01 — THE BASICS

What is Trezor.io/start?

It’s Trezor’s official starting page for setting up a hardware wallet. It points you to Suite and the initial instructions. Always check the web address yourself before continuing.

Go to the official page
02 — YOUR DEVICE

Meet Trezor Suite

Suite is the interface for your device and supported cryptocurrency accounts. Check the official supported-assets information before sending a coin or token.

03 — YOUR TRANSACTIONS

Check before you send

Verify a receiving address carefully. Before sending, review the destination, network, and amount, then confirm the details on your Trezor screen.

04 — YOUR BACKUP

Recovery means responsibility

Your backup can restore wallet access. Keep it private, offline, and exactly as instructed. A backup is not something to photograph, upload, or send.

BEFORE YOU CONFIRM

Small checks.
Big difference.

Slow down and verify the details. Your device is there to help you make an informed decision — take time to read what it shows.

Start with Trezor
  • 01Bookmark the official Trezor website after checking its address.
  • 02Download device software and updates only from official Trezor sources.
  • 03Check the receiving address on your Trezor screen before confirming.
  • 04Review the destination, network, and amount before approving a transaction.
  • 05Check that a coin or token is supported before sending funds.
  • 06Treat unexpected support messages, links, and QR codes with caution.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Begin with care.
Stay in control.

Use Trezor’s official setup page for current instructions. Connect your device, follow the prompts, and protect your backup every step of the way.
