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

Secure your digital assets by setting up your Trezor wallet the right way. Follow the official guide to ensure maximum protection.

Why Use Trezor.io/Start®?

Trezor.io/Start® is the official portal for new Trezor users. It guarantees safe downloads of Trezor Suite, verified setup instructions, and protection against phishing or counterfeit software. Beginning here ensures your wallet setup follows the highest security standards.

Step 1: Inspect and Unbox

Carefully open your package and verify:

Tamper-proof seals are intact.
Accessories are present — USB cable, recovery seed cards, and instructions.
No visible damage or irregularities on the device.

⚠️ If packaging looks compromised, stop immediately and contact Trezor Support.

Step 2: Connect to Trezor Suite

Visit trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the Suite is your control panel for managing cryptocurrencies securely. Once installed, plug your Trezor device into your computer.

Step 3: Install Firmware

All new devices ship without firmware. Upon first use, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware. Confirm the action on the Trezor screen to prevent tampering.

Step 4: Create Your Wallet

Choose “Create new wallet” inside Trezor Suite. The device will generate your unique recovery seed, which is your master key to all funds.

Write down your recovery seed offline. Do not take screenshots or store it digitally. Keep it hidden in a safe location.

Step 5: Secure Your Device with a PIN

Set up a secure PIN code directly on your Trezor device. This protects your wallet if your device is lost or stolen. Avoid easy combinations like 1234 or birthdays.

Step 6: First Transaction

In Suite, click on “Receive” to generate your first address. Verify the receiving address on the device screen. Share only the verified address to ensure funds go directly to your Trezor wallet.

Step 7: Backup and Recovery

If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can recover your funds using your recovery seed on a new Trezor or another BIP39-compatible wallet. This makes securing your recovery seed absolutely vital.

Troubleshooting

Device not detected: Install Trezor Bridge.
Firmware update failed: Disconnect, reconnect, and try again.
Wrong recovery seed: Ensure spelling and word order are exact.
Forgot PIN: Wipe device and restore using your recovery seed.

Best Security Practices

Always use the official site: trezor.io.
Keep Suite and firmware up to date.
Store recovery seed in multiple secure offline locations.
Confirm all transactions directly on your Trezor screen.
Be cautious of phishing emails or fake websites.

FAQs

Can I restore an old wallet?

Yes, use your recovery seed with “Recover wallet” during setup.

What if my device is stolen?

Without your recovery seed and PIN, funds remain secure. Restore on a new device using your recovery seed.

Can I manage multiple accounts?

Yes, Trezor Suite supports multiple accounts across different assets.

Why confirm addresses on the device screen?

This prevents malware from redirecting your funds to attackers.

Setting up your Trezor wallet at trezor.io/start is essential for secure crypto management. From unboxing and firmware installation to recovery seed protection and making your first transaction, each step ensures your digital wealth is safe. With Trezor Suite and hardware-level security, you can confidently protect, manage, and grow your crypto assets.
