Trezor.io/Start – Your Secure Gateway to Crypto Protection

Welcome to Trezor Setup

Trezor.io/start is the official starting point for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, this page guides you through securing your digital assets safely and correctly. Trezor devices are designed to keep your private keys offline, protecting your funds from hacks, malware, and unauthorized access.

Starting here ensures you follow verified steps, download authentic software, and avoid common security risks.

Why Use Trezor for Crypto Security?

Cryptocurrency ownership comes with responsibility. Unlike traditional banks, you are in full control of your funds — and your security. Trezor hardware wallets provide:

Offline private key storage

Protection against phishing and malware

Secure transaction verification on-device

Backup and recovery options

Using Trezor.io/start guarantees that your device setup follows best security practices directly from the official source.

Step 1 – Unbox and Inspect Your Device

Before connecting your Trezor, check that the packaging is intact and untampered. A genuine Trezor device will arrive securely sealed. If anything looks suspicious, contact official support before proceeding.

Inside the box you will find:

Your Trezor device

USB cable

Recovery seed cards

Quick start instructions

Never use a device that appears pre-configured.

Step 2 – Connect to Trezor Suite

Go to Trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite, the official desktop or browser application used to manage your wallet. This software allows you to:

Set up your wallet

Send and receive crypto

Manage multiple accounts

Track portfolio performance

Always download software directly from the official website to avoid malicious copies.

Step 3 – Install Firmware

New devices may require firmware installation. Trezor Suite will prompt you if needed. Firmware ensures your wallet runs the latest security updates and features.

Important: Firmware installation should only be done through the official interface. Never install unknown software on your hardware wallet.

Step 4 – Create a New Wallet

Next, you will generate a brand-new wallet. Your Trezor device creates private keys internally — they never leave the device.

You will be asked to confirm actions directly on the device screen. This prevents remote attackers from interfering with wallet creation.

Step 5 – Write Down Your Recovery Seed

This is the most critical step.

Your device will display a recovery seed — a list of words that acts as a backup to restore your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Security rules:

Write the words on the provided card

Store it offline in a safe place

Never take photos of it

Never store it digitally

Never share it with anyone

Anyone with this seed can access your funds.

Step 6 – Set a PIN

A PIN protects your device from physical theft. Each time the wallet is connected, the PIN must be entered. This adds an additional security layer beyond the recovery seed.

Managing Your Crypto Safely

After setup, you can buy, receive, and store cryptocurrencies securely. Always verify transaction details on the device screen before confirming. Trezor ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your transactions remain protected.

Ongoing Security Best Practices

Keep firmware updated

Use a strong PIN

Beware of phishing emails and fake support

Only use official Trezor channels

Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed.
