The official guide to setting up and securing your Trezor™ hardware wallet.
Welcome to Trezor.io/start, the official platform for initializing your Trezor™ hardware wallet. Whether you’ve purchased the Trezor Model T or the Trezor One, the setup process ensures your cryptocurrency remains safe. By following the instructions, you’ll generate your private keys offline, keeping your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets secure from online threats.
To begin, connect your Trezor device using the USB cable. Follow the prompts on the official website, and install the necessary firmware if prompted. This process guarantees your wallet runs on verified software directly from Trezor™.
After completing the initial device setup, the next step at Trezor.io/start is installing Trezor Suite. This desktop application is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers an intuitive interface to manage, send, and receive cryptocurrencies.
Through Trezor Suite, you can monitor your portfolio, exchange assets, and integrate third-party apps. The app provides built-in security checks to verify addresses, transactions, and firmware authenticity.
The integration of Trezor.io/start and Suite ensures you’re operating in a safe environment without relying on browsers, reducing the chance of online scams.
Security is the cornerstone of Trezor.io/start. During setup, you’ll be asked to create a PIN to prevent unauthorized device access. Next, you’ll generate a Recovery Seed, a unique 12 to 24-word phrase. This is your backup in case your device is lost or damaged.
It’s crucial to write this recovery seed on paper and store it in a safe offline location. Never share it online, as anyone with the seed can access your funds. Advanced users can enable passphrases for an added layer of protection.
