Get started with Trezor.io/Start

Trezor.io/Start provides the official, step-by-step onboarding experience to securely initialize a Trezor hardware wallet. This guide explains how to set up your device safely, create and protect your recovery seed, and adopt operational security (OpSec) measures to preserve long-term custody of your digital assets. Whether you are a first-time user or returning to verify your wallet, follow the official instructions on Trezor.io/Start to reduce risk and avoid phishing attempts.

During setup, always verify device authenticity, follow the device screen prompts, and write down your recovery phrase on a durable medium. Never store your recovery seed on an internet-connected device or cloud storage. The recommended practice is to use a metal backup solution or a secure offline vault. Use a strong PIN, enable passphrase protection where supported, and confirm the device fingerprint matches the official values shown on Trezor.io/Start.

Security features described on Trezor.io/Start include cryptographic verification of the firmware, deterministic recovery, and hardware-level isolation of private keys. These features are designed so that private keys never leave the device. When completing transactions, verify addresses on the physical device display — not solely in your browser — to ensure data integrity.

For organizations and advanced users, integrate multi-signature policies, use dedicated offline machines for signing, and implement role-based key custody. Always keep software up to date using the official channels described on Trezor.io/Start, and validate downloads using published checksums or signatures.

Important: Only use the official Trezor web presence (trezor.io/start). Be cautious of lookalike domains and unsolicited links. Bookmark the official page, prefer typed URLs, and confirm TLS certificates in your browser before proceeding.

For ongoing protection, enable operating system security updates, use reputable antivirus solutions, and consider hardware security modules for institutional custody. If you suspect compromise, move funds to a new wallet with a freshly generated recovery phrase and revoke exposed authorizations.
