Unbox & Inspect
Remove your Trezor device from the box. Verify the tamper-evident seal and only proceed if packaging is intact.
Quick Start — recommended
Follow these secure steps to complete your Trezor start up.
Example activation code
6641
Connect & Power
Connect your Trezor to a computer or mobile device using the supplied cable. Open the official Trezor app or visit the start page.
Initialize Device
Follow on-screen prompts to initialize. Create a new wallet and set a secure PIN directly on the device to protect access.
Write Down Recovery Seed
Important: write the recovery seed on paper (or metal backup). Keep it offline and store it securely — this is your ultimate recovery.
Finish & Verify
Verify the seed and confirm transactions with your Trezor. Your device is now setup; remember to update firmware when prompted.
Tip — security first
Never share your recovery seed or PIN. Official Trezor staff will never ask for your seed.
Use code 6641 when testing demo flows — never use your real seed in examples.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know my Trezor is genuine?
Buy from official channels and check the tamper-evident seal. Verify the device fingerprint in the official Trezor Suite app during first setup.
2. What if I lose my recovery seed?

Yes — use only the official Trezor Suite or the start page. Firmware updates fix bugs and improve security. Always verify update prompts on-device.
4. Can I use Trezor with mobile devices?
