Trezor.io/start – Official Start Page for Trezor Users®

Overview

What is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the official guided start page that helps you securely unbox, authenticate, and configure your Trezor hardware wallet. The page points you to the official Trezor Suite app, firmware updates, setup instructions, and safety practices so you never download or use an unofficial package.

Why this matters

Hardware wallets are the strongest defense against remote key theft. Setup mistakes — e.g. downloading fake software or skipping firmware checks — expose your seed. Use the official start path and follow the steps below to reduce risk.

Quick Start — 6 essential steps

Step 1 — Verify the box & device

Check tamper evidence and serial number packaging. Only use your device if packaging is intact and the device matches the expected model (Model One, Model T, Safe family, etc.).

Step 2 — Visit trezor.io/start

Open your browser and go to the official start page. From there download Trezor Suite for the correct operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux) or follow mobile pairing instructions for iOS/Android.

Step 3 — Install Trezor Suite & connect

Install the Trezor Suite desktop or use the web flow indicated on the start page. Connect the device when prompted and complete the guided initialization (create PIN, write down recovery words).

Step 4 — Create and secure your backup

When creating the recovery seed: write it down (never store digitally), consider a metal backup (e.g. Trezor Keep), and store copies in physically separate secure locations.

Step 5 — Firmware & authenticity checks

Always update firmware through official channels; confirm the firmware signature when prompted. Trezor devices and Trezor Suite present verification prompts — do not bypass them.

Step 6 — Start using your wallet

Use the Suite to receive, send, swap, or stake supported coins. For advanced use (passphrase, coins not supported by Suite) consult the official guides.

Security best practices (concise)

Never share your seed

Keep the 12/20/24-word recovery seed secret. Treat it like a bearer instrument: anyone with the seed controls the funds.

Use a strong PIN & optional passphrase

Set a PIN to prevent local access, and use a passphrase only if you understand its risks and recovery implications. A passphrase creates an additional hidden wallet—losing it means losing access.

Avoid these mistakes

• Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or phone.
• Do not use software from unknown sources or third-party clones claiming to be “faster” start guides.
• Confirm domain is trezor.io — misspellings are common phishing traps.

Official Resources & 10 important links

Use these official links for downloads, support, docs, store, guidance and product info. (Copied directly from trezor.io pages.)

Tip:

When in doubt, search from the root trezor.io site and avoid third-party copies. For developer integrations use docs.trezor.io.

Advanced topics & troubleshooting

Passphrases, PLUG-INS & Third-party wallets

Learn how passphrases work and which third-party wallets integrate securely using Trezor Connect. Use the official Trezor Connect documentation for integration and compatibility details.

Supported coins & tokens

Trezor supports thousands of coins via Suite and integrations. Check the supported assets list before moving a large amount. For unsupported tokens, research carefully and consider using a compatible third-party wallet that respects hardware wallet signing.

When to contact support

• If the device has physical damage or behaves unexpectedly.
• If you suspect a supply-chain compromise (tampered packaging).
• If you encounter a transaction anomaly — share non-sensitive logs with support and follow their recommended diagnostic steps.
