Welcome to Trezor.io/start — Your Official Setup Hub for Secure Crypto
If you’ve just purchased a Trezor hardware wallet, you’re one step closer to self‑custody and peace of mind. The official entry point for configuring your device safely is trezor.io/start — the secure setup page created to guide you through everything you need to begin protecting your cryptocurrency the right way. (Trezor)
Whether you’re brand new to crypto or transitioning from another wallet, this page provides clear instructions, verified software links, and best‑practice tips so your first minutes with your hardware wallet are secure, effortless, and stress‑free. (Tizor)
Why trezor.io/start Matters
In the world of cryptocurrencies, security starts before you even touch your first coin. Unlike software wallets that store private keys online, hardware wallets like Trezor keep those keys offline, away from hackers, malware, and phishing attempts. (Trezor)
But this high level of safety only holds if you begin the setup the right way:
typing trezor.io/start manually into your browser and using the resources on that official page. This ensures you’re not diverted to a fake site or a malicious download that could compromise your seed phrase or private keys. (Trzeo)
💡 Always double‑check that the browser shows “https://trezor.io/start” with a secure padlock before you begin. (Tizor)
What You’ll Need Before You Begin
Before you visit trezor.io/start, take a moment to gather these essentials:
🔹 Your Trezor Device
Either Trezor Model One or the more advanced Trezor Model T.
🔹 A Computer or Compatible Device
With a modern browser installed (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.).
🔹 USB Cable
The cable included in your Trezor box to connect it to your computer.
🔹 Secure Workspace
Choose a private, trusted environment — avoid public Wi‑Fi or shared computers.
🔹 Pen & Paper
For recording your recovery seed phrase (never save it digitally). (Tizor)
Step‑by‑Step: Setting Up Your Trezor Wallet
Once you’re ready, here’s how the official setup flow works:
1️⃣ Visit trezor.io/start
Type the URL manually into your browser to avoid phishing or mistyped domains. Bookmark it for future reference. (Tizor)
2️⃣ Choose Your Device
From the start page, select your Trezor model (Model One or Model T) so the page can provide the correct instructions and downloads. (Trezor)
3️⃣ Download Trezor Suite
The page provides links to:
- Trezor Suite Desktop App (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Trezor Suite Web App (for browser access)
Trezor Suite is the official wallet management application where you’ll send, receive, and organize your crypto securely. (Trzeo)
🛡️ Download software only from the official links on the start page to prevent fake installations. (Trezor)
4️⃣ Connect Your Device
Plug your Trezor into your computer with the included cable. The hardware will power on and display prompts right on its screen — never rely on your computer screen for sensitive confirmations. (Tizor)
5️⃣ Install or Update Firmware
If your Trezor device needs firmware installation or an update, the official setup guide on the start page will prompt you. Firmware updates are cryptographically signed and confirmed on the device screen. (Trzeo)
6️⃣ Create Your Wallet
Choose “Create new wallet.” Your Trezor device will generate a recovery seed — a unique sequence of words that acts as the backup key to your crypto. (Trezor)
📌 Important: write this seed down in order on paper (or a metal backup for long‑term durability).
💡 Do not take screenshots, photos, or store it digitally. (Trzeo)
7️⃣ Confirm and Store Your Recovery Seed
The device asks you to confirm a few words to ensure you recorded your seed correctly. Only then is your wallet fully initialized. (Trezor)
8️⃣ Set a PIN
Choose a strong PIN that protects your device — this prevents unauthorized physical access if someone finds or steals your Trezor. (Tizor)
Tips for Long‑Term Security
Your crypto safety doesn’t stop after setup. Here are simple ways to maintain it:
✅ Keep the seed offline. Digital storage of your recovery phrase can be hacked. (Trzeo)
✅ Avoid phishing traps. Always confirm the URL when accessing Trezor tools or support. (Trzeo)
✅ Use a secure PIN. Avoid common or guessable numbers. (Tizor)
✅ Consider a metal backup. Fireproof and waterproof backups resist common risks. (Trezor)
Why This Matters
Hardware wallets are widely recognized as the safest way to store cryptocurrency because they keep your private keys offline. But the security model only works if you:
- Use official software and links.
- Protect your recovery seed.
- Follow best practices at every step. (Trezor)
By starting with trezor.io/start, you ensure your journey begins on the right foot — protected, informed, and ready to take control of your crypto with confidence. (Trzeo)
