Why choose Trezor?
Trezor is a leading name in hardware wallets. A Trezor device stores your private keys offline in a secure environment, making it far less likely that attackers can steal your crypto. By visiting Trezor.io/Start you access official instructions, firmware updates, and resources that keep your device safe and up to date. Remember: only use the official Trezor.io/Start link to avoid phishing sites.
Quick setup — Step by step (Trezor.io/Start)
Follow these simple steps to set up your Trezor device securely. Every occurrence of Trezor.io/Start, trezor.io start, and Trezor.io Start below points to the same official starting point for your setup.
Unbox and inspect: Confirm the tamper-evident seal is intact. If anything looks off, contact support through Trezor.io/Start before proceeding.
Go to the official start page: Open your browser and visit Trezor.io/Start (type it exactly or use a saved bookmark). Avoid clicking links from emails or messages that mention trezor.io start — always verify the address.
Install Bridge and Suite: From the Trezor.io Start page you will be prompted to install Trezor Bridge or use the Trezor Suite app. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your device securely.
Create a new wallet: Follow the device prompts to generate a new wallet. Write down your recovery seed exactly as shown on the device — do not store the seed on any internet-connected device.
Set a PIN: Choose a PIN on your Trezor device. This PIN protects access to the device itself; the seed protects your funds if the device is lost or damaged.
Verify and update firmware: Always verify the device and firmware using the official steps on Trezor.io Start. If a firmware update is available, perform it from the official site.
After completing these steps you’ll have a Trezor wallet ready for secure use. Repeat this process if you ever restore your Trezor from a recovery seed — always refer back to Trezor.io/Start for the latest guidance.
Best practices for security
Security is more than hardware — it's a set of habits. Use a strong, unique PIN, keep your recovery seed offline and offline-only, and only ever access Trezor resources via the official Trezor.io/Start portal. Do not enter your seed into websites or software; no legitimate service will ever ask for your full recovery phrase. If you move large amounts of crypto, consider using a passphrase-enabled hidden wallet on your Trezor for additional protection.
Common troubleshooting tips
If the device isn’t recognized, reconnect it and ensure Bridge or Suite is installed from Trezor.io Start.
If the firmware update fails, retry from the official start page and confirm your device model.
If you suspect a phishing attempt (a fake trezor.io start link or email), close your browser and access the start page by typing Trezor.io/Start directly.
