Trezor is a hardware wallet designed to keep cryptocurrencies secure by storing private keys offline. The official setup process begins at Trezor.io/Start, where users initialize their device, install Trezor Suite, and configure essential security features.

This startup guide explains each step required to safely prepare your device, create a wallet, and begin managing digital assets with maximum protection.

• Ensure the box seal is intact and not tampered with
• Inside the package you will find the Trezor device, USB cable, and recovery seed cards
• Check for holographic seals and official packaging

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface for managing your wallet.

Wallet creation occurs entirely within the hardware device, preventing exposure to malware.

During setup, Trezor will display a recovery seed phrase (usually 12–24 words). This is the most important security element.

• Write words on the recovery card in exact order
• Never take a photo or store digitally
• Store in a safe offline location

Anyone with this phrase can access your funds.

A PIN protects physical access to your device.

• Choose a strong PIN
• Enter the PIN using the scrambled keypad interface

• Send and receive coins
• Manage accounts and tokens

Device confirmation prevents remote theft.

• Keep firmware updated
• Use passphrase feature for extra protection
• Avoid phishing websites
• Verify every transaction on device screen

• Device not detected → Try different USB port
• Firmware issues → Reconnect and retry

Starting your device through Trezor.io/Start ensures secure initialization and full control over your digital assets. By following the setup steps, safeguarding your recovery seed, and confirming all actions on the device, you maintain complete ownership and security of your cryptocurrency.
