Step-by-step: Trezor.io/Start® | Begin Your Crypto Device®

1. Unbox and inspect

Before connecting, inspect the packaging and make sure tamper seals are intact. Trezor.io/Start® begins with verifying the device’s physical integrity. If anything looks altered, stop and contact support. Genuine devices include clear tamper-evidence and official documentation.

2. Visit Trezor.io/Start® on a secure computer

On a trusted computer or smartphone, open your browser and type Trezor.io/Start manually or use a verified bookmark. Avoid clicking random links. The site will guide you through installing Trezor Suite or connecting directly to the web onboarding flow.

3. Connect and initialize

Connect the device via USB or Bluetooth (model-dependent). Follow on-screen prompts to choose Create new device or Recover device. If creating new, you will be asked to set a PIN — choose a memorable but non-trivial PIN and never store it digitally.

4. Write down your recovery seed

The most important step for Trezor.io/Start® | Begin Your Crypto Device® is recording the recovery seed. Write each word exactly, in order, on a paper or metal backup — never take photos or store the seed in cloud services. This seed is the master key to your funds.

5. Verify device and firmware

Trezor Suite will verify firmware and prompt for updates if available. Confirm the fingerprint or device ID shown in the app matches the device display. Only proceed once firmware verification completes and the device displays the expected welcome message.

Best practices after setup

After completing Trezor.io/Start® | Begin Your Crypto Device®, store your recovery seed in at least two secure locations (for example, a home safe and a bank safe deposit box). Use metal backups for long-term durability. Enable optional passphrase features only after understanding how passphrases change wallet determinism — a lost passphrase can render funds inaccessible.

Connecting to wallets

Use Trezor Suite for an official desktop/web experience, or connect the device to supported third-party wallets for additional features. Always ensure the wallet’s URL and signatures are verified, and confirm transaction details on the device screen before approving any outgoing transactions.

Troubleshooting & recovery

If the device is lost or damaged, you can recover funds using your written recovery seed on a new hardware device. If you suspect your seed was exposed, perform an immediate recovery to a new seed and transfer funds to fresh addresses. For connection issues, try a different USB cable, reboot the host, or use a different port. If the onboarding page does not load, check your network and ensure your browser is up to date.

Security reminders

  • Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone.
  • Beware of phishing: always navigate manually to Trezor.io/Start.
  • Confirm transactions on-device — the hardware display is your source of truth.
  • Keep firmware updated via verified channels.
