Trézor.io/Start — Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor®

Trezor.io/Start is the official and safest place to begin setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re new to crypto or upgrading your security, this page guides you step by step through securing your digital assets properly. Using Trezor.io/Start ensures you’re interacting with authentic software, protecting you from phishing sites and malicious downloads. Why start at Trezor.io/Start? When it comes to cryptocurrency, security is everything. Trezor hardware wallets are designed to keep your private keys offline, away from hackers and malware. However, that security only works if the setup process is done correctly. Trezor.io/Start acts as the trusted gateway, ensuring you install the genuine Trezor software and follow best-practice security steps from the very beginning. Fake websites and unofficial apps are one of the most common ways users lose funds. By always starting at Trezor.io/Start, you reduce that risk dramatically. What you need before starting Before you begin, make sure you have:

Your Trezor device (Model One or Model T)

A computer or smartphone with internet access

A USB cable (or USB-C, depending on your model)

A quiet, private place where no one can see your screen or recovery words

Never start the setup process in a public or rushed environment. Step 1: Connect your Trezor device Go to Trezor.io/Start and connect your device when prompted. The site will automatically detect whether you’re using a Trezor Model One or Model T and guide you accordingly. If your device is brand new, it will not have any firmware installed yet—this is normal. Step 2: Install Trezor Suite Trezor.io/Start will guide you to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop or web application used to manage your wallet. Trezor Suite allows you to:

Send and receive cryptocurrencies

Track your portfolio

Manage multiple accounts

Adjust security settings

Always download Trezor Suite directly through Trezor.io/Start to ensure authenticity. Step 3: Install and verify firmware During setup, you’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware on your device. This step is critical for security and functionality. Your Trezor will display a fingerprint or verification message—confirm it carefully to ensure the firmware is legitimate. Trezor will never ship devices with preinstalled firmware, so if your device already has firmware when first plugged in, stop and contact support. Step 4: Create a new wallet Once firmware is installed, you’ll create a new wallet. This process generates your recovery seed, usually consisting of 12, 20, or 24 words (depending on your device and settings). These words are the master key to your crypto. Write the recovery seed down on paper.

Never take photos

Never store it digitally

Never share it with anyone

Trezor will ask you to confirm the words to make sure you wrote them correctly. Step 5: Set a PIN and optional passphrase Next, you’ll set a PIN to protect your device from unauthorized physical access. For advanced users, Trezor also offers an optional passphrase feature, adding an extra layer of protection by creating hidden wallets. After setup: staying secure Once your wallet is ready, you can start receiving cryptocurrency immediately. To stay safe:

Always access Trezor through Trezor.io/Start or Trezor Suite

Keep your recovery seed offline and private

Ignore emails or messages asking for your recovery words

Regularly update firmware through official channels only

Final thoughts Trezor.io/Start is more than a setup page—it’s your first line of defense in crypto security. Taking a few extra minutes to follow each step carefully can protect your assets for years to come. With your Trezor properly set up, you gain full control over your digital wealth, without relying on exchanges or third parties.
