Welcome to Trezor.io/Start
Trezor.io/Start is the official setup guide for initializing your Trezor hardware wallet safely and correctly. This page ensures that your wallet, software, and recovery process are configured using authentic tools from SatoshiLabs — the creators of Trezor. By following these steps, you can start managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported assets securely, while keeping your private keys offline and fully under your control.
Why Start at Trezor.io/Start?
Beginning your setup through the official Trezor start page guarantees the integrity of your wallet and prevents unauthorized software downloads. The onboarding process helps you verify the authenticity of your device, install trusted firmware, and link your wallet with Trezor Suite, the official crypto management app.
- Authentic Setup: Ensures your device runs verified firmware.
- Full Control: Private keys remain offline on your Trezor hardware.
- Comprehensive Security: Built-in PIN, passphrase, and recovery options.
- Multi-Asset Support: Manage thousands of cryptocurrencies safely.
Security Reminder: Always make sure the browser address bar displays the official domain trezor.io/start before continuing setup.
Step 1 – Unbox and Connect Your Device
Inside your Trezor package, you’ll find the hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and instructions. Before connecting:
- Inspect the security seal to ensure the box has not been tampered with.
- Connect your Trezor Model One or Model T to your computer using the provided USB cable.
- Once powered, your device will display a welcome message prompting you to visit the official start page.
Step 2 – Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official software for interacting with your Trezor wallet. It allows you to send, receive, and monitor your cryptocurrency portfolio in a secure environment.
- Download the desktop version for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Alternatively, use the web version directly in your browser.
- Launch Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen instructions.
Tip: The desktop version offers additional protection from browser-based risks and is the recommended choice for regular users.
Step 3 – Initialize or Recover Your Wallet
Once connected, you’ll be asked to either create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
- Create New Wallet: Trezor generates a new recovery seed — a 12-, 18-, or 24-word phrase. Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it securely offline.
- Recover Wallet: If restoring an existing wallet, use your seed and enter it directly on the Trezor device screen.
Important: Never type your recovery seed on your computer or smartphone. It must only be entered on your Trezor hardware wallet screen.
Step 4 – Secure Your Device
During setup, configure your security options:
- Set a unique PIN code to protect against unauthorized physical access.
- Enable an optional passphrase for added security on your accounts.
- Confirm all transactions directly on the Trezor device to verify authenticity.
Step 5 – Access Your Portfolio
After completing setup, open the Trezor Suite dashboard to view and manage your crypto assets. You can add Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of supported tokens, track balance changes, and send or receive transactions easily.
- Access portfolio charts and real-time updates.
- Buy, sell, and exchange assets through integrated partners.
- Use the built-in privacy tools like Tor for enhanced anonymity.
Best Practices for Safe Usage
- Always verify actions on your Trezor device screen before confirming.
- Keep your recovery seed offline and never share it.
- Regularly update firmware and Trezor Suite to the latest version.
- Disconnect your Trezor when not actively in use.
- Beware of phishing attempts; the official support domain is trezor.io.
