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

If you’ve purchased a Trezor hardware wallet, your journey toward secure crypto storage begins at Trezor.io/start®. This is the official onboarding page created by SatoshiLabs to help users safely set up their Trezor device and start managing digital assets with confidence.

What Is Trezor.io/start®?

Trezor.io/start® is the official setup portal for Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T. It provides step-by-step instructions to initialize your device, install the required software, and secure your recovery seed.

Unlike software wallets, Trezor hardware wallets store your private keys offline. This keeps your crypto safe from phishing attacks, malware, and unauthorized remote access.

Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Device

Before visiting Trezor.io/start®, inspect the packaging. Ensure the security seal is intact and that the device hasn’t been tampered with. Authentic Trezor devices never come with a pre-written recovery phrase. If you see one included, do not use the device.

Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/start®

Open your browser and manually type the official URL: Trezor.io/start®. Avoid clicking random links from emails or ads. This protects you from phishing attempts.

Once on the page, select your device model. The site will guide you to download the official wallet management software.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

To manage your crypto assets, download Trezor Suite. Trezor Suite is available for desktop and browser use. It allows you to:

Send and receive cryptocurrencies

Monitor portfolio balances

Buy, sell, or exchange supported coins

Manage multiple accounts

Install the application and connect your device using the USB cable provided.

Step 4: Install Firmware

If your device is new, it won’t have firmware installed. Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware version. Always confirm firmware installation directly on your device screen.

Firmware ensures your hardware wallet has the latest security updates and feature improvements.

Step 5: Create a New Wallet

After firmware installation, select “Create New Wallet.” Your Trezor device will generate a recovery seed phrase—usually 12 or 24 words.

Write these words down on the recovery card provided in the box. Never:

Take a photo of your seed phrase

Store it digitally

Share it with anyone

Your recovery seed is the master key to your crypto. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your funds using this phrase.

Step 6: Set a PIN Code

You will then create a PIN directly on your device. This PIN prevents unauthorized access if someone physically steals your wallet.

Choose a strong PIN that isn’t easy to guess. Avoid simple patterns like 1234 or 0000.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Through Trezor Suite, users can manage major cryptocurrencies such as:

Bitcoin

Ethereum

Litecoin

Cardano

Support for additional ERC-20 tokens is also available.

Why Use Trezor.io/start®?

Using the official setup portal ensures:

Authentic software downloads

Updated firmware

Accurate setup instructions

Protection against phishing scams

Many crypto scams imitate wallet setup pages. Always double-check the URL before entering sensitive information.

Final Thoughts

Trezor.io/start® is the safest and most reliable way to initialize your Trezor hardware wallet. By carefully following each step—installing firmware, recording your recovery seed, and setting up a PIN—you significantly reduce the risk of losing your digital assets.

Hardware wallets remain one of the most secure methods of storing cryptocurrency, and Trezor continues to be a trusted name in crypto security worldwide.
