Welcome & Purpose
This official start page (found at trezor.io/start) is your first step to securely set up and manage your Trezor hardware wallet. The focus here is clarity: safety-first instructions, streamlined setup steps, and links to trusted resources for firmware, recovery, and software tools.
Quick Setup Overview
Follow the three foundational actions: (1) initialize the device with the latest firmware, (2) create and safely store the recovery seed, and (3) connect to official Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet. These steps protect your crypto assets against loss, theft, and software attacks.
Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1 — Verify Official Page (H5)
Open https://trezor.io/start and verify browser security (HTTPS, valid certificate).
Step 2 — Install Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite from the official site and avoid third-party installers. Connect device only when told.
Step 3 — Update Firmware
Allow the suite to update firmware; updates include critical security patches.
Step 4 — Create Recovery Seed
Write down the seed on the supplied recovery card. Never store the seed digitally or share it.
Step 5 — Set a PIN and Passphrase
Choose a PIN you can remember; consider optional passphrase for an extra account layer.
Best Practices & Troubleshooting
Keep your device firmware up to date, verify the download source, and never enter your recovery seed into a computer or a website. If you lose your device, the recovery seed restores funds on a new Trezor or compatible wallet. For support, use official channels only.
Security Reminder (H4)
Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed. Any request for the seed is a phishing attempt. Keep recovery offline, split across secure locations if necessary, and test your recovery plan before relying on it.
Closing Summary
The start page is designed to reduce friction while maximizing security for all users. Bookmark trezor.io/start, follow the official setup flow, and consult official documentation for advanced use (passphrases, enterprise workflows).
