This guide is for informational purposes only. The only official website for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet is:
Always type the address manually into your browser. Do not rely on search ads, sponsored results, social media links, emails, or third-party websites claiming to help with setup. Many phishing sites imitate the Trezor interface to steal recovery phrases and crypto assets.
Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed on a website, over email, or through customer support chat. Your recovery phrase should only ever appear on your physical device screen — never on your computer.

Always rely only on:
You are safe if:
If unsure, manually navigate to the homepage first:
