Welcome to Trezor Start
Welcome to the official Trezor.io/Start page — your trusted entry point for initializing and securing your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you are setting up your device for the first time or recovering an existing wallet, this guide will help you take full control of your digital assets safely.
⚡ Tip: Always ensure you are on the official Trezor domain (https://trezor.io/start) before connecting your device.
Step 1: Connect and Install
Begin by connecting your Trezor device to your computer using the USB cable provided. Visit Trezor.io/Start to download the official Trezor Suite software. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and provides an intuitive dashboard for managing your crypto portfolio securely.
- Install Trezor Suite from the official page.
- Launch the app and connect your device.
- Follow on-screen instructions to update your firmware if prompted.
Step 2: Initialize Your Device
Once your Trezor is connected, you can initialize it as a new wallet or recover from a backup. Initializing creates a new, unique recovery seed — a 12 to 24-word phrase that acts as the master key to your funds.
Important:
Write your recovery seed on the provided recovery card and store it in a safe place offline. Never take a photo or store it digitally. This ensures your crypto remains protected even if your device is lost or stolen.
Step 3: Secure and Customize
After initialization, set a strong PIN and enable additional security features such as passphrase protection. Within Trezor Suite, you can rename your device, adjust privacy settings, and manage your portfolio with ease. Explore features like Tor connectivity and coin labeling for better organization.
Security is at the heart of Trezor’s mission. By keeping your private keys offline, Trezor ensures that your crypto assets remain inaccessible to malware or online threats.
Step 4: Manage Your Crypto
Trezor Suite allows you to send, receive, and exchange cryptocurrencies directly within the app. Track your portfolio, monitor market trends, and make transactions with confidence. Trezor supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other coins and tokens.
You can also connect your Trezor device to third-party wallets and decentralized applications for an enhanced DeFi experience — all while keeping your keys secure.
