When you reach the official page, you'll be guided to verify firmware signatures and to create or restore your seed. Completing the steps on-screen is the safest route.
Security best practices (non-negotiable)
Seed handling
Write your recovery seed on a physical medium (paper or metal backup). Never store your seed as a plaintext file, photo, or cloud note. If you need guidance, the official start page provides the recommended flow. Visit: https://trezor.io/start.
Firmware & software
Only update firmware through the official flow; verify signatures in Trezor Suite. Avoid third-party installers that claim to shortcut setup.
Phishing awareness
Always verify the URL and SSL (the padlock) and make a habit of going to https://trezor.io/start manually — phishing pages are the most common attack against hardware wallet users.
Using your Trezor daily
For everyday use, pair your device with Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet. Approve transactions physically on the device screen — this is the root of trust that prevents remote attackers from moving funds without your confirmation.
Transaction verification
Always confirm the amount and destination on the device display. If values differ between the host app and device display, abort the transaction and investigate.
Advanced note
If you integrate with third-party wallets, check compatibility lists and recommended instructions at the official start page: https://trezor.io/start.
FAQ — Quick answers
Q: Can I restore from another hardware wallet?
A: Yes. Many standards like BIP39 allow restoring on Trezor devices, but check the restoration workflow and seed type. The safest restoration instructions are linked from the official start page: https://trezor.io/start.
Q: Is the recovery seed enough?
A: The seed is enough to restore funds, but consider passphrases (extra layer) and secure storage strategies for added protection.
