Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device®

Welcome! You’ve taken the first step toward securing your digital assets. The official setup process begins at Trezor.io/Start — your trusted guide to initializing and protecting your Trezor device. Whether you're using the Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this setup guide ensures your crypto remains safe from digital threats.

Why Start with Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is the official entry point to configure your new hardware wallet securely. Using unofficial tools or third-party instructions may put your private keys at risk. The official start path ensures the latest firmware, software, and safety protocols are followed during setup.

What You Need to Begin

• A Trezor hardware wallet (Trezor Model T or Trezor One)
• A computer with an internet connection
• A USB cable (included with your device)
• Latest version of Google Chrome, Firefox, or Brave browser
• Pen and secure storage for your recovery seed

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Visit Trezor.io/Start: Begin the process by navigating to the official start page in your browser.
2. Download Trezor Suite: Install the official Trezor desktop app to manage your wallet and perform updates.
3. Connect Your Device: Plug your Trezor into your computer and follow the prompts shown in Trezor Suite.
4. Install Firmware: Trezor devices are shipped without firmware for security. You will be guided to install the latest version.
5. Create a New Wallet: Choose to generate a brand-new wallet directly on the device.
6. Backup Your Recovery Seed: Your device will display a unique 12 or 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down exactly as shown. Never take a photo or store it digitally.
7. Confirm Recovery Phrase: Verify your backup phrase on the device to complete setup.
8. Set a PIN: Protect your device from unauthorized physical access by setting a PIN code.

Post-Setup Actions

Once your device is set up, you can begin using Trezor Suite to manage your portfolio securely. Add crypto accounts, receive and send funds, exchange tokens, and even interact with DeFi apps — all with the assurance that your private keys remain offline and protected.

Device Compatibility

• Trezor Model T: Touchscreen, premium design, supports more coins
• Trezor One: Compact, reliable, ideal for beginners

Both devices are fully supported by Trezor Suite and follow the same secure setup process via Trezor.io/Start.

Security Tips

• Never share your recovery phrase with anyone — not even support staff
• Only install Trezor Suite from the official source
• Enable hidden wallets or passphrase protection for extra security
• Store your seed phrase in a secure, offline location (preferably fireproof and waterproof)
• Verify all transactions on your Trezor device screen before confirming

Recovering a Wallet with Your Seed

If you ever lose access to your Trezor device, your recovery seed is your backup. During the recovery process, you’ll be prompted to enter your 12 or 24-word phrase to restore access. Always use an official Trezor device to do this, and never input your seed into a browser, mobile app, or online tool.

Why Choose Trezor?

As one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the crypto world, Trezor combines open-source technology with industry-grade security. With the support of Trezor.io/Start and the robust Trezor Suite app, users gain full sovereignty over their digital assets—without relying on third-party services or exchanges.

Conclusion

Setting up your Trezor device through Trezor.io/Start ensures you're using the official, secure method of initialization. With your recovery seed safely backed up and your device PIN protected, you're now ready to take control of your crypto assets with confidence. Stay secure, stay in control — start with Trezor.
