Your First Five Steps
- Unbox & inspect. Seals should be intact. If packaging looks suspicious, pause and contact support.
- Go to the official portal. Type trezor.io/start in the address bar; don’t rely on random links.
- Install Trezor Suite. Download only from the official site and keep your OS updated.
- Initialize the device. Create your wallet, set a strong PIN, and write the recovery phrase offline.
- Verify authenticity & update. Run firmware checks in Trezor Suite and complete available updates.
Habits That Keep You Safe
Bookmark the Portal
Save trezor.io/start so you avoid typosquatting scams and look-alike domains.
Practice Small
Do a tiny test receive/send before moving larger value. It builds confidence cheaply.
Protect the Phrase
Never type your recovery words into any website. Store them offline, durable, and private.
Verify on Device
Always confirm addresses on the Trezor screen, not just the computer display.
FAQ
What if I lose the device?
Restore your wallet on a new Trezor using your recovery phrase. Without the phrase, funds can’t be recovered.
Is cloud backup of the phrase okay?
Not recommended. Screenshots and cloud notes expand attack surface. Prefer offline, resilient storage.
How do I spot phishing?
Beware urgent language and weird domains. Type trezor.io/start yourself every time.
Pro Flow for Everyday Use
Before each session, review your checklist: use a clean profile, update software, confirm addresses on the device, and log outcomes. Repetition hardens your routine so important actions feel calm and predictable. With trezor.io/start bookmarked, you’ll always have a trusted launchpad.
