Trezor.io/start® | Starting Up Your Device | Trezor™

Why Use Trezor.io/start?

The only authentic way to set up your Trezor is through the official Trezor.io/start page. This ensures you download the correct software, receive up-to-date firmware, and avoid dangerous phishing websites. By starting here, you guarantee the highest security standards while bringing your device online.

Many newcomers wonder why setup cannot be done directly on the device. The answer is simple: the onboarding process involves software installation, firmware verification, and secure generation of a recovery seed that requires a guided environment.

Step-by-Step Initialization

• Unbox & Inspect: Make sure packaging is intact and untampered.
• Connect Device: Plug into your computer with the provided cable.
• Visit Trezor.io/start: The official gateway to install Trezor Suite.
• Update Firmware: Keep your device current with the latest features and fixes.
• Generate Seed: Write your recovery phrase on paper; never save digitally.
• Secure with PIN: Add a PIN code and optionally enable a passphrase for hidden wallets.

Following these steps guarantees your crypto assets are protected against unauthorized access.

Security Best Practices

At Trezor.io/start, security is emphasized repeatedly because mistakes in early setup can be costly. Always keep these rules in mind:

• Never type your seed phrase on a computer or smartphone.
• Do not share recovery words with anyone.
• Store backups in separate secure places (consider fireproof or metal storage).
• Enable notifications in Trezor Suite for suspicious activity alerts.

Taking small precautions ensures your Trezor remains your most reliable crypto safeguard.

Compatibility & Ecosystem

Trezor supports a broad range of digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, ERC-20 tokens and more. Through Trezor.io/start you’ll discover supported coins, wallet integrations, and third-party applications that expand your usage into DeFi, NFTs, and secure exchange connectivity.
