Welcome to Trézor.io/Start®
Welcome to the official starting page for your Trézor® hardware wallet. Whether you’re setting up a Trézor Model T or Trézor One, this guide will help you securely initialize your wallet, install Trézor Suite™, and begin protecting your cryptocurrency.
Step 1: Inspect and Verify Your Device
When your Trézor arrives, inspect its packaging carefully. All authentic Trézor devices are delivered in factory-sealed boxes — never pre-configured or pre-filled with recovery seeds.
- Check that the holographic seal on the box is intact.
- Ensure your recovery card is blank and unused.
- If you suspect tampering, contact Trézor Support.
Step 2: Visit the Official Start Page
To start, open your web browser and type https://trezor.io/start. This is the only official page for setting up your Trézor device. Avoid unofficial links or search engine ads — always verify the URL begins with https://trezor.io.
Step 3: Download Trézor Suite™
The Trézor Suite™ app is your secure control center for managing crypto assets. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it ensures your private keys stay offline and protected.
- Select “Download for Desktop” on the Trézor.io/start page.
- Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
- Launch Trézor Suite once installed.
Step 4: Connect and Initialize Your Device
Plug in your Trézor wallet using the provided USB cable. Once detected by Trézor Suite, you’ll be guided through the device initialization process.
- Install the latest firmware if prompted.
- Create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed.
- Set a strong PIN and optional passphrase for additional protection.
Step 5: Secure Your Recovery Seed
During setup, your Trézor will display a recovery seed — a 12, 18, or 24-word backup phrase. Write it down carefully on the recovery sheet provided and store it safely offline.
- Never take a digital photo or store it online.
- Keep it in a fireproof, waterproof location.
- Never share it with anyone — Trézor staff will never ask for it.
Step 6: Manage Your Crypto Securely
Once your wallet is initialized, you can use Trézor Suite to send, receive, and exchange cryptocurrencies. Each transaction must be verified and confirmed directly on your Trézor device, ensuring you remain in full control of your funds.
Security Recommendations
- Always confirm URLs — use trezor.io or suite.trezor.io.
- Regularly update your firmware and Trézor Suite.
- Enable passphrase protection for an extra security layer.
- Keep your recovery seed offline and private.
