Trezor.io/start — Get Started with Your Trezor Device

A clear, color-friendly presentation to guide you through setup, backup and secure use.

Quick start — why Trezor matters

Welcome to Trezor.io/start — Get Started with Your Trezor Device. This page walks you through the critical first steps: unboxing, verifying authenticity, initial setup, creating a recovery seed, and best practices for secure long term storage. A hardware wallet like Trezor keeps your private keys offline so that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain out of reach. Use this guide to feel confident operating your device and preserving access to your crypto.

Step-by-step highlights

  • Unbox and inspect the tamper-evident seal.
  • Visit Trezor.io/start — Get Started with Your Trezor Device in a trusted browser.
  • Install the official Trezor Suite or connect via the recommended web flow.
  • Set a PIN and write down the recovery seed on the supplied card.
  • Practice restore on a spare device (recommended).

Security essentials

Never share your recovery seed. Store it offline—preferably in a fireproof, waterproof safe or a geographically-diverse secret. Treat the seed like the keys to a bank vault. Enable passphrase protection only if you understand how it changes recovery behavior. Keep firmware updated and only use official software linked from Trezor’s website.

FAQs

Q1 — How do I start safely from Trezor.io/start — Get Started with Your Trezor Device?

A1 — Always open the official start page in a trusted browser and follow on-screen instructions. Verify the device box and the included recovery card, then create a PIN and write down your recovery seed offline.

A2 — Yes. Use your recovery seed on any compatible hardware wallet to restore access. Keep the seed safe and tested.

Q3 — Should I keep firmware updated?
