Where should I begin setting up my Trezor?+

Type trezor.io/start directly into your browser and follow the instructions for your specific device. Check the URL carefully before connecting or installing software.

Is my recovery seed the same as my PIN?+

What if my device asks for a firmware update?+

Install firmware only when prompted by the official Trezor Suite application, and confirm the action on the device itself. Do not install files sent through unsolicited messages.

Can I set up a wallet without a computer?+

Setup options vary by Trezor model and current software. Follow the official instructions for your device and use only official Trezor apps and downloads.
