Trézor.io/Start® is the official and secure onboarding portal for setting up a new Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re beginning with a Trezor Model One, Model T, or third-generation models, this guide will walk you through every step — from unboxing to full wallet activation and secure crypto management.

What Is Trézor.io/Start®?

Trézor.io/Start® is the official link that ensures users begin the setup process safely and correctly. Instead of searching online for downloads—which risks phishing attacks—you are guided directly to verified software, firmware updates, and security instructions from Trezor’s trusted developers.

Why Starting at Trézor.io/Start® Matters

Crypto scams often begin with fake download pages. Using the official site ensures your wallet remains safe from malware, fake interfaces, and fraudulent backups. Trezor has built a verified onboarding pipeline to guide users from unboxing to full crypto security.

When in doubt: always type trezor.io/start into your browser manually.

Step-by-Step: Getting Started

Begin by connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer with the provided cable, then open a secure browser.

  1. Open browser and go to Trezor.io/Start.
  2. Download Trezor Suite — the official desktop app.
  3. Install and launch Trezor Suite.
  4. Connect your Trezor device via USB.
  5. Install firmware if prompted.
  6. Create a new wallet on your device.
  7. Write down your recovery seed (never share it).
  8. Set a secure PIN.
  9. Start managing your crypto assets securely.
Never enter your recovery seed into a phone or computer. It must only be viewed and confirmed on your Trezor device screen.

What Is the Trezor Recovery Seed?

As part of initial setup, your Trezor device will generate a recovery seed — a set of 12, 18, or 24 unique words. This is the master key to your wallet, and the only way to recover your funds if the device is damaged or lost.

If someone gains access to your recovery seed, they control your crypto.

Using Trezor Suite After Setup

Trezor Suite is your command center for managing crypto assets. It blends security with convenience and supports multiple cryptocurrencies, accounts, and optional privacy tools like Tor integration.

Security Features You Activate at Setup

PIN Protection

A PIN code stops unauthorized access to your device. Without the PIN, the wallet becomes inaccessible — even if stolen.

Passphrase Wallets

Create hidden wallets by adding an optional passphrase. This extra factor ensures your hidden crypto stays invisible.

Secure Device Firmware

Firmware updates ensure the device is running safely, free from bugs or security exploits.

Offline Key Storage

Private keys never leave the device — not even for a moment — eliminating online hacking risk.

Common Setup Issues & Solutions

Device not detected?

Firmware update failed?

Keep the device connected — allow the process to finish. Do not disconnect Trezor mid-update.

Confused about recovery seed?

You never enter the seed into Trezor Suite, only the device itself.

Best Practices for Long-Term Safety

Final Thoughts

Starting your crypto journey at Trézor.io/Start® ensures maximum security from the first moment you power on your device. By using Trezor’s trusted hardware and Trezor Suite’s encrypted environment, you maintain full control over your private keys, assets, and financial sovereignty.
