Trezor.io/start — Official Start Page for Trezor

A concise presentation and onboarding guide to the official Trezor Start portal and core setup steps.

Overview — What is the Trezor Start page?

The Trezor.io/start portal is the official onboarding page provided by Trezor for initializing and configuring a new hardware wallet. It centralizes the recommended steps so users set up devices securely, verify firmware authenticity, and connects to the Trezor Suite or supported wallet software.

Why use the official start page?

Using the official start page minimizes risk: the steps there check firmware integrity, offer verified downloads, and provide official guides that protect users from malicious imitations. For example, the page points you to verified Trezor Suite downloads and official setup documentation so you avoid impostor sites or altered firmware packages.

Core flow at a glance

  1. Visit trezor.io/start.
  2. Install or open the recommended Trezor Suite app (desktop or web).
  3. Connect your device and follow the guided firmware verification and initialization.
  4. Create a wallet, note your recovery seed safely, and confirm device settings.
  5. Update firmware only when prompted by the official app and verify signatures.

Security-first guidance

Trezor emphasizes keeping the recovery seed offline and never sharing it. When you initialize a device, write the recovery words on the provided backup card or another offline medium. Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed over email, chat, or through web forms; any such request is a scam.

Quick tips for safe setup

  • Always type https://trezor.io/start or follow an official link — don't trust search results that look suspicious.
  • Verify downloads from the official site and prefer direct links to the Trezor Suite app.
  • Keep firmware updated using official prompts only.

Step-by-step walkthrough (detailed)

1. Prepare

Before you begin, ensure you have a clean computer and a stable internet connection. Use the official start page to download Trezor Suite if you need the desktop app. Have a pen and the supplied recovery card ready for writing down your seed words — never store seed phrases on cloud storage or screenshots.

2. Connect & verify

Connect your Trezor device via USB (or follow device-specific instructions). The official setup flow will ask you to verify firmware authenticity and confirm device-generated words on-screen. Only accept firmware updates when initiated by the official app flow.

3. Create the backup

During setup you will receive a recovery seed. Write it down exactly and in order, keep it in a safe place, and consider multiple geographically separated backups for resilience. Some advanced users choose metal backups or dedicated seed-storage devices.

4. Finish and test

After setup, send a small test amount to your newly created address to confirm everything works. Enable passphrase protection or advanced features as needed — but understand passphrases add complexity and must be backed up as well.

Accessibility & support

If you need help, consult the official guides and support pages linked above. Trezor’s documentation covers recovery, firmware, and advanced features with step-by-step illustrations.

Closing summary

The Trezor Start portal is the single most important resource when initializing a Trezor device: it centralizes safe downloads, firmware verification steps, and official guides so you set up securely and confidently. Follow the official guides, keep your recovery seed offline, and only accept updates or prompts from the official Trezor apps and website.
