Getting started with your Trezor® hardware wallet should feel exciting, not overwhelming. The official Trézor.io/Start process is designed to guide you step-by-step through setting up your device securely, so you can confidently manage, store, and protect your cryptocurrency. Whether you're new to digital assets or an experienced holder upgrading your security, the journey begins at trezor.io/start, the only official setup portal for your device.

Why Starting Up™ Your Trezor Device Matters

Your Trezor hardware wallet is built to keep your crypto offline and out of reach from hackers, malware, and phishing attempts. But security starts with proper initialization. Using the official trezor.io/start page ensures:

  • You install authentic Trezor software
  • Your firmware is verified and up to date
  • Your wallet is created in a secure environment
  • Your private keys never leave your device

Skipping official setup steps can expose users to fake apps or malicious downloads. That’s why Trezor directs all users—new and returning—to trezor.io/start as the trusted starting point.

Step 1: Connect Your Trezor Device

Unbox your Trezor® and connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. Your device will power on automatically. You’ll be prompted to visit the official setup page at trezor.io/start, where your journey begins.

This portal detects your device model and provides the correct instructions, software, and firmware required for your specific Trezor version.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official application that lets you manage crypto, track your portfolio, send and receive coins, and adjust security settings. During the Trézor.io/Start process, you’ll download Trezor Suite directly from the official source, ensuring authenticity and safety.

Trezor Suite offers:

  • A clean, beginner-friendly interface
  • Advanced features for experienced users
  • Built-in security checks
  • Support for hundreds of cryptocurrencies

Installing from unofficial sites is risky — always use trezor.io/start to avoid compromised software.

Step 3: Install or Verify Firmware

Your Trezor device may require firmware installation the first time it’s used. Firmware is the internal software that powers your wallet’s security features. Through the official Trézor.io/Start process, you can install or verify firmware safely.

This step guarantees:

  • Cryptographic verification of device integrity
  • Protection against tampered hardware
  • Latest security enhancements

Step 4: Create Your Wallet & Recovery Backup

Now comes the most important part: generating your wallet. Your Trezor device will create a recovery seed — a series of words that serve as the backup to your crypto wallet.

Important security reminders:

  • Write your recovery seed down offline
  • Never take a photo or store it digitally
  • Never share it with anyone
  • Trezor will never ask for it online

The entire process happens securely on your device, not on your computer.

Step 5: Set PIN Protection

You’ll choose a PIN to protect your Trezor from unauthorized access. Even if someone physically steals your device, they cannot access funds without this PIN.

Your Security Starts Here

The official Trézor.io/Start — Starting Up™ Your Device experience is built around one goal: maximum security with simple guidance. By following the setup only through trezor.io/start, you ensure your crypto remains under your control — not on exchanges, not in online wallets, but safely in your hands.
