Official Onboarding & Setup Portal Guide
Welcome to the authoritative reference for setting up, configuring, and protecting your digital assets through Trezor.io/start. Safeguard your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies with genuine cold storage, secure firmware verification, and resilient offline seed generation.
Before connecting your hardware wallet to any computer, inspect the tamper-evident holographic seal over the USB port or outer wrapping. Never use a pre-configured device or any unit with an already scratched or compromised security sticker.
Type trezor.io/start manually in your browser to avoid fraudulent lookalike links. Choose your desktop operating system (macOS, Windows, Linux) to download and launch the verified Trezor Suite application securely.
Plug in your Model One, Model T, or Trezor Safe 3 with the provided USB cable. Your hardware device ships with no firmware installed by design, ensuring you install a fresh, cryptographically signed build directly via Trezor Suite.
Create a new wallet to generate your 12, 20, or 24-word recovery seed phrase. Transcribe every word precisely onto your physical recovery card. Never take photos, enter it into a computer, or store it in cloud storage.
Cryptocurrency hardware wallets isolate your private keys from the internet, protecting your savings from computer malware, keyloggers, and malicious browser extensions. The dedicated URL Trezor.io/start serves as the genuine gateway designed by SatoshiLabs to ensure every user accesses authenticated software and authentic firmware signatures before funding their addresses.
When landing on Trezor.io/start, users receive direct access to Trezor Suite—the desktop command center. Trezor Suite manages account hierarchies, creates segregated witness and taproot addresses, enables coin control, and executes Tor routing for anonymous blockchain lookups without third-party surveillance.
During the Trezor.io/start process, you establish a hardware PIN. The device randomizes the pin-matrix layout on its embedded screen every time you authenticate, which completely thwarts screen recording spyware running on your PC. Trezor models lock incrementally longer with each wrong entry, making brute-force attempts statistically impossible.
Advanced holders can leverage BIP-39 Passphrases (the 25th word feature) and Shamir Backup (SLIP-0039). A passphrase creates completely hidden wallets with distinct accounts. Even under duress, unauthorized individuals cannot detect or access hidden assets without knowing the exact case-sensitive phrase kept solely in your memory.
CRITICAL SECURITY CHECKLIST
Never type your recovery words into any mobile app, webpage, browser prompt, or notes document.
Verify receiving and sending addresses on the Trezor's physical screen, not merely on the PC monitor.
Keep your recovery paper or stainless steel backup capsules inside a fireproof, waterproof safe.
SatoshiLabs support staff will never request your seed phrase, private keys, or wallet password.
