Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Trezor.io/Start is the official setup guide for your Trezor hardware wallet, providing a secure and structured approach for initializing your device, installing firmware, creating a recovery seed, and connecting safely to Trezor Suite. By keeping your private keys offline, Trezor protects your cryptocurrencies from malware, phishing, and unauthorized access. This guide is designed to help both beginners and advanced users securely manage their digital assets.

Step 1: Connect Your Device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the official USB cable. Trezor.io/Start automatically detects your device and verifies its authenticity, ensuring your wallet is genuine and tamper-free.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official software for managing your cryptocurrency securely. It enables sending, receiving, and monitoring funds while keeping private keys offline. Always download Trezor Suite from the official website to avoid malware and phishing. It also offers portfolio tracking and multi-asset management.

Step 3: Generate Your Recovery Seed

Your device generates a recovery seed consisting of 12, 18, or 24 words. This seed is critical for wallet recovery in case your Trezor is lost, stolen, or damaged. Write it down securely and store it offline. Never share or photograph the recovery seed.

Step 4: Secure Your Device

Set a strong PIN to protect your Trezor from unauthorized access. Each transaction requires physical confirmation on the device, safeguarding your funds even if your computer is compromised. Optionally, enable a passphrase for extra security.

Step 5: Manage Your Assets

Use Trezor Suite to manage supported cryptocurrencies, track balances, send and receive funds, and monitor your portfolio. Private keys never leave the device, ensuring maximum security for your digital assets.

Step 6: Security Benefits

Trezor’s open-source design and hardware-level security offer unmatched protection. All private key operations occur offline, reducing exposure to malware and phishing attacks. Trezor.io/Start ensures a secure setup process.

Final Recommendations

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