Trezor.io/Start — Starting Up Your Device

Why setup matters

Setting up your Trezor wallet correctly is the foundation of crypto security. A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, so a careful initialization prevents theft, mistakes, and data loss. This guide walks you through each step on Trezor.io/start and offers tips for long-term safe handling.

Before you begin

Find a quiet, private space with a reliable internet connection.
Use the official site: only visit https://trezor.io/start (the link above opens it).
Have paper and pen handy for writing your recovery phrase offline.
Do not share your recovery phrase or take pictures of it.

6 Simple steps to start your Trezor

1. Unbox & Inspect

Check the tamper-evident seal and make sure packaging looks genuine. Only proceed if everything looks intact.

2. Connect to your computer

Use the supplied cable to connect the device, then open your browser and go to trezor.io/start. The site will guide you to the official Trezor Suite or web setup flow.

3. Install firmware (if prompted)

Allow the official firmware install. Do not install firmware from unknown sources. The device will verify firmware integrity during installation.

4. Create a new wallet

Choose "Create new" when asked. Write down the recovery seed exactly as shown — this is the only backup to restore your funds if the device is lost.

5. Verify your recovery phrase

The device will ask you to confirm words to ensure you recorded them correctly. Never store this phrase digitally or with cloud backups.

6. Finalize & test

Set a PIN, name your device, and send a small test transaction to confirm everything works as expected.

Quick security checklist

Never share your recovery phrase.
Keep the recovery offline and in multiple secure locations if needed.
Use a strong PIN different from other device PINs.
Be suspicious of unsolicited links, apps, or help offers.

Troubleshooting tips

If your device doesn't appear on trezor.io/start, try a different USB cable, a different browser (Chrome or Firefox), or another computer. For persistence issues, consult the official Trezor support pages.

Conclusion

Starting your Trezor correctly takes a few careful steps but pays off with strong, long-term protection for your crypto assets.
