Why start at Trezor.io/start
When you unbox a Trezor device the first and most reliable step is to follow the official instructions at Trezor.io/start. The page is maintained by the Trezor team and designed to guide users through each stage — from connecting the device to your computer, to initializing your wallet, setting a PIN, and writing down your recovery seed. Using Trezor.io/start ensures you are using official, up-to-date software and that you avoid third-party pages that could put your keys at risk.
Simple setup, stronger security
Setting up a Trezor takes just a few minutes. Start by visiting Trezor.io/start and downloading the recommended Suite or opening the web setup. When prompted, initialize your device directly using the on-screen flow. You’ll be asked to create a secure PIN and generate a recovery seed. The recovery seed is the single most important element for account recovery — write it down on paper and store it securely offline. Never take a photo of the seed or store it in cloud services.
Standards and privacy
Trezor follows open standards for cryptographic operations and keeps the private keys inside the hardware. The device signs transactions on-device, which means your private keys never leave the Trezor. By beginning at Trezor.io/start you also get access to the latest security advisories and firmware updates. Periodically checking back to Trezor.io/start before performing major actions — like upgrading firmware or importing large balances — helps keep your setup current and secure.
Using Trezor with multiple wallets
Trezor works with a range of wallets and services. After you complete the initial steps at Trezor.io/start you can connect to Trezor Suite for an integrated experience or use compatible third-party wallets while maintaining the same hardware-backed security model. Each integration requires confirming transactions on the device itself — a deliberate physical confirmation that prevents remote attackers from moving funds without your consent.
Recovery and best practices
If your device is lost or damaged, your recovery seed (created during setup at Trezor.io/start) is what enables recovery. Keep that seed somewhere only you can access and consider splitting or storing it in secure locations for redundancy. Regularly review your device firmware and official guidance on Trezor.io/start to adopt any recommended improvements to security practices.
Support and resources
For troubleshooting, compatibility questions, or detailed walkthroughs, Trezor’s official setup hub at Trezor.io/start collects the resources you need. The guidance covers everything from connecting to different operating systems to advanced options like passphrase usage and hidden wallets. If you prefer step-by-step visuals, the site also links to the official Suite, video walkthroughs, and trusted documentation to reduce mistakes during the most security-sensitive actions.
