Welcome — Get Started with Trezor.io/Start

This guide helps you Get Started with Trezor.io/Start and complete a Secure Hardware Wallet Setup. Whether you're new to hardware wallets or migrating funds, this sample guide explains the essential steps to securely initialize your device, protect your recovery seed, and connect safely to the Trezor ecosystem.

Why choose a secure hardware wallet?

Hardware wallets separate your private keys from internet-connected devices. A Secure Hardware Wallet Setup keeps your private keys on the device, uses a PIN and optional passphrase, and provides a recovery seed to restore access. With Trezor.io/Start-style flows, Get Started steps are intentionally simple: connect, initialize, backup, verify, and use — all while keeping security first.

Fast 6-step Get Started checklist

  1. Verify Packaging: Inspect packaging and tamper-evident seals. Only proceed if packaging looks intact. If in doubt, contact vendor support — do not continue if tampering is suspected.
  2. Visit Trezor.io/Start (sample): Open the official-style start page on a secure device and follow on-screen instructions. Always confirm HTTPS and correct domain when using real services.
  3. Connect & Power On: Connect your hardware wallet via USB. Allow any necessary permissions for the bridge or WebUSB adapter if prompted for device communication.
  4. Initialize Device: Choose Create New Wallet. The device will generate a recovery seed — write it down precisely, in the correct order, on the provided card or another durable medium.
  5. Secure Backup: Store backup(s) offline, consider metal backup plates for long-term durability, and avoid photographing or storing the seed digitally.
  6. Finish Setup: Set a strong PIN and optional passphrase. Confirm a small test transaction to ensure your Secure Hardware Wallet Setup is complete and transactions are signed on-device.

Protecting your recovery seed

The recovery seed is the master key to your funds. Treat it like real-world cash — store it securely and privately. Use durable materials, split backups across safe locations if needed, and never type the recovery seed into a website or mobile app. The best Secure Hardware Wallet Setup includes multiple offline backups and a plan for inheritance or recovery in case of emergency.

Security tips for Get Started flows

  • Always use verified download sources and check checksums for installers.
  • Confirm device prompts on the hardware screen — user approval on-device is the last line of defense.
  • When possible, set a passphrase in addition to the PIN to create a hidden wallet layer.
  • Limit third-party integrations until you understand their security model.

Troubleshooting common setup issues

If your device isn’t detected during the Get Started flow, try a new USB cable, a different USB port, and restart your browser. Some browsers or privacy tools block WebUSB or bridge services — temporarily disable conflicting extensions or add an exception. If you see unexpected prompts or errors, disconnect and verify you are on the intended start page before retrying the Secure Hardware Wallet Setup.
