Begin Your Trezor Journey with Trézor.io/Start®

Starting a Trezor hardware wallet is a simple process, but it carries great importance. The page known as Trézor.io/Start® provides the pathway for preparing your new device, activating essential security features, and setting up the software environment that lets you manage your digital assets safely. Each step in the initialization process is designed to help you take full control of your wallet with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re new to crypto or switching to hardware-based protection, the setup process gives you a secure foundation before you begin storing or moving your digital assets. From connecting your device to generating your recovery seed, the instructions guide you through every detail with a user-focused approach.

Powering On and Getting Ready

After unboxing your Trezor device, make sure all items are included and in good condition. You’ll typically find the device itself, a USB cable, a couple of recovery seed cards, and basic accessories. Once everything is verified, connect your device to your computer using the cable provided.

The device screen will activate and prompt you to continue the setup through your computer. At this point, you are ready to move to the official setup path.

Open your browser and enter the address “trezor.io/start”. This page leads you through everything needed to prepare your device. It identifies your device model (Trezor One or Model T) and directs you to compatible software for your operating system.

The setup portal then prompts you to download Trezor Suite, the desktop application used to configure and manage your wallet. It also checks for firmware requirements, ensuring your device runs the latest version before moving forward.

Installing and Opening Trezor Suite

Once you download Trezor Suite, install it and run the application. You’ll see a clean interface that automatically detects your connected Trezor device and begins walking you through the rest of the initialization process.

If your wallet needs a firmware update, Suite provides prompts to complete it securely. These updates typically take less than a minute and are essential for ensuring your device benefits from the most recent security enhancements.

Creating and Securing Your Wallet

When your firmware is ready, Trezor Suite will ask you to choose between creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one. If you’re starting fresh, select “Create New Wallet.”

This begins one of the most important steps: generating your recovery seed.

Your device will display a series of words that form your seed backup. These words serve as the master key to your wallet. Write them down carefully—exact spelling, exact order—using a pen and the provided recovery card. Avoid storing this information digitally, as offline storage protects you from online threats.

Once you confirm the seed, Suite will move you to the next stage: PIN setup.

Setting Your PIN and Additional Protection

You’ll now choose a PIN that prevents anyone from accessing your device without your approval. The PIN is entered on your Trezor device, adding an extra layer of protection even if someone physically holds your wallet.

For users who want more advanced security, you can enable a passphrase. This optional feature adds another level of authentication and lets you create a hidden, independent wallet within your device.

Completing Initialization and Accessing Your Dashboard

With your seed and PIN completed, your device is fully initialized. Trezor Suite now unlocks your wallet dashboard, where you can:

  • Add and organize accounts
  • View balances
  • Send and receive assets
  • Track portfolio performance
  • Generate new receiving addresses
  • Adjust security preferences

All sensitive actions—such as sending crypto—require you to confirm directly on your Trezor device, ensuring your private keys never leave offline storage.

A Strong Start for Secure Asset Management

Trézor.io/Start® provides a simple, structured road map for powering up your Trezor hardware wallet and preparing it for everyday use. The initialization process combines offline security with an intuitive app interface, giving you everything you need to manage cryptocurrencies with confidence.
