Looking to set up your Trezor hardware wallet quickly and safely? The Trezor.io/start page is the official, step‑by‑step onboarding portal that walks you through everything from unboxing to making your first secure transaction.

What Is Trezor.io/start?

  • It is the official start page for all Trezor devices, including Model One and Model T.
  • The page verifies you are on a legitimate, encrypted URL before you begin setup.​
  • It guides you through firmware installation, wallet initialization, and connecting to Trezor Suite for ongoing management.

How to Get Started at Trezor.io/start

  • Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable and open a modern browser.
  • Type the URL manually as https://trezor.io/start and confirm the secure lock icon in the address bar before proceeding.
  • Select your device model, install or verify firmware, then follow the on‑screen wizard to create a wallet, set a PIN, and back up your recovery seed.

Advanced Security Features

  • Offline recovery seed generation: Your 12–24 word recovery phrase is displayed only on the Trezor device screen, keeping it isolated from malware.​
  • Hidden wallets and passphrases: Advanced users can create additional, passphrase‑protected wallets that remain invisible without the correct phrase.
  • TOR and privacy tools: Trezor Suite can route transactions via TOR, helping obscure your IP address and enhancing privacy when sending or receiving crypto.​

Why Use Trezor.io/start?

  • The page ensures you are using the official setup workflow instead of potentially harmful third‑party guides or fake clones.
  • New and experienced users alike benefit from clear, interactive instructions that reduce errors when creating backups and securing funds.
  • Once finished, you can manage multiple assets, check balances, and execute transactions directly through Trezor Suite connected to your device.

Confirming the exact HTTPS address and lock icon helps protect you from phishing sites that might try to steal your recovery phrase or keys.​
