Overview: What is Trezor.io Start?

The Trezor.io Start page is the recommended first step when you unbox a new Trezor device. On Trezor.io/Start you will find official setup instructions, the trezor.io start installation utilities, firmware verification tips, and safety checks to initialize your hardware wallet. The Trezor.io Start flow guides you through firmware checks, wallet creation, back-up seed generation, and optional passphrase protection.

Repeating for emphasis: if you are here to initialize, use Trezor.io Start or the trezor.io start workflow on Trezor.io/Start to proceed. Trezor.io Start ensures you follow the recommended security steps to protect your crypto.

Before you begin

• Unbox your Trezor and verify the tamper-evident packaging.
• Have a pen and paper (or a secure offline backup method) ready for your recovery seed.
• Use a safe, private computer and connect only to the official trezor.io start page (Trezor.io Start, trezor.io start, Trezor.io/Start).
• Never share your recovery seed with anyone; Trezor.io Start will instruct you how to keep it offline and safe.

Step-by-step: Use Trezor.io Start

1. Visit the official start page: Open your browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start. Confirm the domain carefully: Trezor.io Start is the only recommended entry point.
2. Install Trezor Bridge (if required): The trezor.io start wizard will prompt you to install any software needed to connect your device. Follow on-screen prompts and allow the driver if prompted.
3. Connect and confirm: Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Confirm the device model on the screen and follow the Trezor.io Start on-screen instructions.
4. Verify firmware: Trezor.io Start checks firmware integrity. Approve any firmware updates shown on your device. This ensures your device runs authentic, signed firmware.
5. Create a new wallet & recovery seed: The trezor.io start flow will generate a recovery seed. Write it down carefully and keep it offline; treat it as the master key to your funds.
6. Set a PIN and optional passphrase: Choose a secure PIN on your Trezor and consider enabling a passphrase for additional account separation.
7. Finish setup: After completing Trezor.io Start, verify your accounts via the official wallet interface and send a small test transaction to confirm everything works.

Security tips

Always use the official Trezor.io Start site (trezor.io start, Trezor.io/Start) for first-time setup. Avoid downloading files from third-party mirrors. Keep your recovery seed offline and never photograph or store it in cloud services. If you ever suspect tampering, stop and consult the official support channels before proceeding.

Trezor.io Start will never ask you for your recovery seed on a website or over email. Any request for your seed is a scam—your seed belongs only on paper or another secure offline medium.

Troubleshooting common issues

If your device is not recognized, ensure Bridge is installed and your browser supports webUSB/webHID, then reconnect. For firmware update issues during Trezor.io Start, keep the device connected and follow prompts shown on the device itself. If the trezor.io start page fails to load, verify your internet connection and browser extensions—ad blockers can sometimes block necessary scripts.
