Starting your hardware wallet at Trezor.io/Start® is the most secure way to initialize your device and take full control over your cryptocurrency. This step-by-step guide helps you begin the process safely and correctly, ensuring your funds stay protected from day one.
The official start page is designed to guide new users through secure wallet setup. It ensures you're using verified software, prevents phishing risks, and helps you avoid common mistakes that can compromise your crypto security.
Using a secure browser, go directly to Trezor.io/Start®. Do not use search engines or third-party links. This page will redirect you to download the official Suite software, which is required to set up and use your hardware wallet.
Download and install the desktop application for your operating system. This software acts as the secure interface for managing your assets and communicating with your hardware device.
Use the provided USB cable to connect your wallet to your computer. Follow the on-screen instructions. If it's your first time using the device, you’ll be asked to install the latest firmware. Always confirm actions directly on the device screen.
After setup, you’ll be given the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If you choose to create a new wallet, the device will display a recovery seed phrase. Write it down and store it offline in a secure location. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.
Next, create a secure PIN that protects your device. This PIN will be required every time you use your wallet. If the wrong PIN is entered too many times, the device will automatically reset to protect your data.
Once your wallet is set up, you'll be taken to the Suite dashboard. From here, you can view your balances, send and receive cryptocurrency, manage different accounts, and explore advanced features like passphrase-protected wallets.
Follow essential security practices to protect your assets. Always double-check addresses on the device screen, keep your recovery phrase offline, use strong PINs, and regularly update your firmware and software.
Trezor.io/Start® provides a trusted, simple way to begin your crypto journey. By completing the setup correctly and following best practices, you can ensure your digital assets are safely under your control.
