Trezor.io/Start® — Starting™ Up Your Device the Right Way

Congratulations on choosing Trezor®, the pioneering hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrency assets safe and fully under your control. Starting up your device correctly is the first crucial step to a secure crypto journey. This guide will walk you through the essential steps at Trezor.io/Start® — the official and trusted gateway to initializing and managing your device safely.

Why Use Trezor.io/Start®?

The official start page is tailored to provide a seamless, secure onboarding experience. It ensures you download authentic software, sets up your device securely, and educates you about best security practices from the get-go. Avoiding phishing sites and fake apps is vital, and Trezor.io/Start® is your trusted starting point.

Step-by-Step Device Initialization

Important: Your 24-word recovery seed is your ultimate key. Never share it or enter it on any device or website other than your Trezor.

Best Practices for First-Time Setup

Starting securely means not rushing. Take your time writing your recovery seed on the provided card or a trusted notebook — digital copies can be hacked or lost. Verify that your device screen matches the computer prompts during setup, never trust pop-ups or emails asking for your seed.

Keeping Your Device & Assets Safe After Setup

Regularly update your firmware via Trezor Suite to patch vulnerabilities and gain new features. Always verify transaction details on the device screen before confirming. Enable passphrase protection if you want an extra layer of security.
