Trézor.io/Start — Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor®

Trezor.io/Start is the official setup page provided by Trezor to help users safely initialize their hardware wallet and begin securing their cryptocurrency assets. This page is essential for first-time users, as it ensures the device is set up correctly while following Trezor’s recommended security standards. Using the official start page helps protect users from fake websites and potential phishing attempts.

To begin, users should visit Trezor.io/Start through a trusted web browser and connect their Trezor hardware wallet to a computer or mobile device. The setup process guides users to download Trezor Suite, the official wallet management application. Trezor Suite allows users to manage crypto accounts, view balances, send and receive funds, and track portfolio performance within a secure interface.

During the setup, users can either create a new wallet or recover an existing one. When creating a new wallet, the Trezor device generates a recovery seed, usually 12 or 24 words. This recovery seed is the most critical part of wallet security. It must be written down carefully and stored offline in a safe location. Trezor never asks users to share or enter the recovery seed online, and anyone who has access to it can control the funds.

Trezor.io/Start also includes important steps such as verifying device authenticity and installing the latest firmware updates. Keeping the firmware up to date helps protect against vulnerabilities and ensures smooth wallet performance.

After completing the setup, users can manage a wide range of supported cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many popular altcoins. Because private keys are stored offline on the hardware wallet, assets remain secure even if the connected computer or mobile device is compromised.
