Why start at TréZor.io/Start?

Using the official start page reduces the risk of fake downloads, malicious firmware, and phishing links. Your Trezor keeps private keys offline; proper setup ensures those keys never leave the device. This guide explains the essential steps — verification, installation, firmware update, seed creation, and optional defenses — presented for clarity and safety.

Always type the official address manually: TréZor.io/Start. Avoid links from emails or social media.

How the setup protects you

A hardware wallet isolates credentials inside secure hardware. When combined with validated firmware, a private recovery seed written offline, and a device PIN, you get layered security: something you have (the device), something you know (PIN), and something you store offline (seed).

Step-by-step — quick and secure

Inspect your package.

Confirm seals and accessories. Do not accept a device that appears opened or pre-initialized.

Visit TréZor.io/Start manually.

Type the address into your browser or use an official bookmark. This prevents redirected or spoofed links.

Install Trezor Suite from the official page.

Prefer the desktop version for stability. Follow on-screen prompts and only accept the official installer.

Apply firmware updates.

Firmware ensures device integrity. Only install updates presented by the official Suite and confirmed on-device.

Create and secure your recovery seed.

Write the seed on paper. Do not copy it to digital files or photos. Consider storing multiple secure copies in separate locations.

Set a strong device PIN.

Choose an unpredictable PIN. For advanced privacy, enable a passphrase to create hidden wallets.

Practical tips & best practices

Never share your recovery phrase. No official support will ever ask for it.
Keep firmware current; check release notes on the official page.
Use a trusted computer; avoid public or untrusted networks during setup.
Consider a fireproof or bank-safe storage for paper seeds.

Final thoughts

TréZor.io/Start is the secure gateway to set up your Trezor device properly. The process takes a little time but provides long-term peace of mind. With your device initialized, PIN set, and recovery seed stored safely, you control your keys and your financial sovereignty.
