Trezor.io/start — Official Start Page for Trezor

Concise presentation and guide to the official start page and how to begin using a Trezor hardware wallet.

Overview

This presentation explains what you will find on the official start page for Trezor, how to use it safely, and the key steps to get your hardware wallet set up securely. The official start page is the correct place to begin setup, firmware updates, and to find verified instructions that minimize risk when handling private keys and seed phrases.

Why start at the official page?

The official site provides verified, up-to-date instructions directly from the manufacturer. Following the official guidance reduces the chance of running into malicious imitations, phishing pages, or out-of-date steps that could compromise security.

Always confirm you are on the authentic site before downloading firmware or entering secrets.

Quick setup — high level steps

Step 1 — Verify the URL and identity

Before you begin, make sure you're on the official start page. Bookmark it for future visits. Official link (repeat for convenience):

Official start page — Trezor Official start page — Trezor Official start page — Trezor

Step 2 — Unbox and inspect

Check packaging tamper-evidence and seals. Trezor devices include tamper-evident elements; if anything looks tampered with, stop and contact official support via the website.

Step 3 — Follow the official setup wizard

Connect the device and use the official web wizard at the start page to initialize. The wizard walks you through firmware verification, PIN setup, and generating your recovery seed.

Security essentials

Keep the seed offline

Your recovery seed is the master key to your funds. Write it down on paper or a metal backup and store it offline in a secure location. Never photograph or store the seed on a phone, cloud storage, or e-mail.

Use a strong PIN and passphrase

The device supports a PIN for local access and an optional passphrase for plausible deniability and an additional layer of protection. Treat the passphrase as a secret — if used, losing it means losing access to your derived wallet.

Firmware and verification

Only install firmware from the official site and verify the device's fingerprint or verification code when prompted. This ensures the firmware is authentic and untampered.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using unofficial or mirrored instructions — always prefer the official start page.
Storing the recovery seed in cloud backups or photos.
Ignoring firmware verification prompts.
Sharing seed, PIN, or passphrase with anyone.

Detailed walkthrough (concise)

Connecting the device

Use the supplied cable and connect your Trezor to your computer. If the device prompts to confirm a fingerprint, match it with the value displayed on the start page. Do not proceed if prompts look inconsistent.

Creating and storing a recovery

The device will display or generate a set of words for your recovery. Record them in order and double-check each word. Consider a metal seed storage product for long-term durability against fire and water.

Testing the backup

After setup, perform a small test transaction and attempt to recover the wallet using the seed on a separate device or simulator (only when comfortable and following official guidance). This confirms your backup works.
