Trezor.io/Start — Official Setup Guide

Welcome — this guide walks you step-by-step through setting up a Trezor hardware wallet using the official start page. It’s written for beginners and power users alike and includes a concise FAQ, security tips, and handy HTML-ready examples you can reuse.

Why use Trezor and Trezor.io/Start?

A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline. Trezor devices are widely used to secure crypto assets safely and with strong user control. The official setup flow begins at Trezor.io/Start.

Quick checklist (before you start)

1. Unbox and verify

Check tamper-evident stickers. Verify packaging integrity and only follow instructions from Trezor.io/Start.

2. Secure environment

Set up in a private space, away from cameras or prying eyes. Have a pen and paper to write your recovery seed.

3. Use an up-to-date browser

Chrome/Edge/Firefox recommended. Navigate to Trezor.io/Start for the official flow.

Official setup — step-by-step

Step 1 — Open the official start page

Visit https://trezor.io/start and follow the on-screen prompts. The official page will detect your model and guide the correct firmware and app choices.

Step 2 — Connect your device

Use the supplied USB cable. When the device prompts for action, follow the device screen and the web app. Always ensure the web page URL is trezor.io/start.

Step 3 — Initialize (new device)

Create a new wallet on the device. The device will generate a recovery seed — write it down carefully and store it in a secure location (preferably offline).

Step 4 — Install firmware & Trezor Suite

If firmware is required the official page will walk you through installing it. Optionally download Trezor Suite for local management; always follow links from Trezor.io/Start.

Restore from seed

If you already own a Trezor or have a seed, choose the restore option and enter your recovery phrase only on the device's screen (never type the seed into a website or computer text field).

Security best practices (short)

Only use the official start page: Trezor.io/Start.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
Consider a steel backup plate for the seed phrase.
Keep firmware up to date via official prompts.
