Trezor.io/Start — Official Start Page — Initialize Your Device™

Initialize your device with confidence

Initializing a Trezor device is the most important step in establishing secure ownership of your cryptocurrencies. At Trezor.io/Start, we’ve designed an easy-to-follow setup that walks you through each critical action while enforcing best security practices. When you set up your device through the official page, you ensure that firmware checks, application downloads, and recovery procedures come from authentic sources — reducing the risk of phishing or counterfeit hardware.

Start by connecting your Trezor device to a computer or compatible mobile device. Head to Trezor.io/Start where you will be prompted to download the official Trezor Suite application. Trezor Suite is the recommended companion app for desktop and web that lets you manage accounts, send and receive tokens, and access advanced settings such as passphrase protection and firmware updates. Always download from the official portal to ensure authenticity.

During initialization, Trezor Suite will guide you to create a secure PIN directly on the device and generate a recovery seed — typically 12, 18, or 24 words depending on your device. This recovery seed is the single most important safety mechanism: it’s the only backup that allows you to restore your funds if your Trezor gets lost or damaged. Write the words down by hand and store them offline in multiple secure locations; never photograph, email, or store your seed on an internet-connected device.

After writing down your recovery phrase, the Suite performs a confirmation step so you verify the words are recorded correctly. Firmware authenticity checks run automatically to confirm your device is genuine and the installed firmware has not been tampered with. When you approve each transaction on the Trezor screen, you prevent unauthorized operations even if your computer were compromised.

Trezor Suite supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and tokens. Once your device is initialized, add accounts from the Suite interface to begin managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other assets. The dashboard shows balances, transaction history, and portfolio performance — all while keeping your private keys safely on the hardware device. Use on-device confirmations to ensure the receiving addresses shown in the app match what you see on the Trezor display.

For users seeking stronger privacy and security, Trezor offers optional features such as passphrases (additional secret words you can add to your recovery seed) and integration with privacy tools. Trezor Suite also includes educational resources and step-by-step tutorials accessible from the Start page so you can deepen your knowledge about backup strategies, address verification, and safe interaction with decentralized apps.

Remember: Trezor.io/Start is your trusted destination for official downloads and guidance. Avoid third-party links, social media installers, or unknown attachments promising shortcuts. If you ever suspect an issue, contact official Trezor Support immediately. By following the instructions on this page — verifying firmware, safeguarding your recovery seed, and confirming every transaction on-device — you’ll achieve a robust security posture for your crypto assets.

Begin now at Trezor.io/Start. Within minutes you’ll have a verified device and a secure backup, ready for safe, confident use. Protect your assets with hardware-backed security — because with Trezor, your keys stay with you.
