Taking control of your cryptocurrency begins with securing your private keys. Trezor.io/start is the official onboarding hub designed to guide new users through safely configuring their Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’ve purchased a Trezor Safe 3, Trezor Model T, or Trezor Model One, this page ensures that you complete your setup with the highest level of security and authenticity.
This guide provides a clean, beginner-friendly step-by-step overview of how to successfully initialize your device and start managing your digital assets.
Trezor.io/start is the official and only recommended setup portal for all Trezor hardware wallets. It ensures you:
Download the authentic Trezor Suite software
Install verified firmware directly from Trezor
Follow the latest security best practices
Avoid dangerous phishing links and fake wallet apps
Fully secure your crypto with proper backup procedures
Since hardware wallets hold sensitive cryptographic keys, starting from the correct website is essential to avoid scams or compromised downloads.
Before connecting your device to your computer, verify these critical points:
Check for tamper-evident features. A genuine Trezor’s packaging should not look resealed, torn, or manipulated.
Trezor never includes a pre-written recovery seed. If you see one inside the box, the device is unsafe to use.
Always buy from trezor.io or authorized sellers to guarantee device authenticity and safety.
These checks help ensure you are starting with a clean and uncompromised hardware wallet.
Start by visiting:
This is where Trezor provides the official firmware, app downloads, and instructions for your specific model.

Your Trezor will then generate a private key and wallet structure internally.

Your device will display a 12-word or 24-word recovery seed, the most important part of your backup.
Write the words down clearly on the provided recovery card
Store them in a secure location offline
Do NOT take photos
Do NOT store it on a computer or cloud
Do NOT share it with anyone
Your recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost, broken, or reset.
After backing up your seed, you’ll create a PIN that protects your device from unauthorized use.
6–9 digits recommended
Avoid obvious patterns
Don’t reuse PINs from other devices
You’ll confirm your PIN using Trezor’s secure input method on the device screen.
Trezor allows advanced users to activate additional protection layers:
Creates an additional, hidden wallet tied to a custom word or phrase.
Splits your recovery seed into multiple parts for improved resiliency.
Adds network privacy by routing traffic through the Tor network.
Helps with wallet organization and privacy-focused coin spending.
These optional tools allow you to tailor your security strategy to your needs.
