Trézor.io/Start is the official portal to securely initialize and set up your Trézor hardware wallet. It guides users through device setup, firmware installation, PIN creation, and recovery seed management. This ensures maximum crypto protection and hardware wallet security.
Starting your Trézor wallet using the official portal prevents tampering, phishing, or installation of unauthorized firmware. It guarantees that all cryptographic operations occur safely and your private keys remain offline.
Before starting, carefully inspect your Trézor device and packaging. Ensure the tamper-evident seals are intact. Any compromised packaging may indicate tampering.
Open a supported browser and navigate to Trézor.io/Start. Always ensure the URL is correct to avoid phishing attacks. Connect your Trézor device via USB to proceed.
Never enter your recovery seed or PIN online. All sensitive input occurs directly on the device, ensuring private key isolation.
If your Trézor device does not have firmware installed, the portal will guide you through installation. Always confirm firmware authenticity directly on your device screen to prevent malicious software installation.
Your PIN is a critical security measure. Create a unique PIN on the device itself. The PIN protects your funds even if the device is lost or stolen.
Trézor will generate a 12-24 word recovery seed during setup. This seed is your ultimate backup and allows recovery of funds in case of loss or device failure.
Write your recovery seed offline, preferably on the provided Trézor card. Never take photos or store digitally. Confirm the seed words on the device to ensure accurate recording.
Once the PIN and recovery seed are confirmed, your device is ready to use. You can access the Trézor Suite interface to manage cryptocurrencies, monitor balances, and send/receive funds safely.
