Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Trezor.io/Start is the official setup guide for your Trezor hardware wallet. This guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for initializing your device, installing firmware, creating and securely storing your recovery seed, and connecting safely to Trezor Suite. Your private keys remain offline, ensuring maximum protection from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access. This setup guide is ideal for both new and experienced users looking to securely manage cryptocurrencies.

Step 1: Connect Your Device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the official USB cable. The Trezor.io/Start interface will automatically detect your device and verify its authenticity, ensuring that your wallet is genuine and secure.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, the official software for managing your cryptocurrencies securely. Trezor Suite allows you to send, receive, and monitor your funds while keeping your private keys offline. Always download the Suite from official sources to avoid malware and phishing attacks. It also provides portfolio tracking, multi-asset management, and transaction history.

Step 3: Generate Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor device generates a recovery seed consisting of 12, 18, or 24 words. This seed is crucial for restoring your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Write it down carefully and store it securely offline. Never store it digitally or capture a photo.

Step 4: Secure Your Device

Set a strong PIN to prevent unauthorized access. Each transaction requires confirmation directly on the device, keeping your funds secure even if your computer is compromised. You can also add an optional passphrase for additional security.

Step 5: Manage Your Assets

Trezor Suite allows you to manage supported cryptocurrencies, monitor balances, send and receive funds, and track your portfolio securely. All private keys remain offline, providing maximum security for your digital assets.

Step 6: Security Benefits

Trezor’s open-source hardware and software design ensures robust security. Offline key operations reduce exposure to malware and phishing attacks. Following the verified steps in Trezor.io/Start ensures a safe setup and secure asset management.

Final Recommendations

Always verify you are on the official Trezor website, keep your firmware updated, and never share your recovery seed. Following these best practices guarantees long-term secure storage of cryptocurrencies and reliable wallet management.
