Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — Start Up Your Account Securely

Trezor.io/Start is the easy, official path to starting up your account and connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to modern Web3 tools. This guide walks you through the exact steps to initialize your device, set a PIN, create and safely store your recovery seed, install Trezor Suite, and connect to dApps with confidence. If you’re at Trezor.io/start for the first time, follow these steps carefully to get secure crypto management with a hardware wallet.

1

Unbox and verify authenticity

When starting up your account with Trezor.io/Start, first confirm the tamper-evident seal and authenticity markers. Only continue if packaging and holograms match the official guidance — authenticity protects your device when you start using it.

2

Download Trezor Suite from the official domain

Visit Trezor.io/Start or the official domain to download the latest Trezor Suite app. Always use the official Trezor download to avoid counterfeit installers; this ensures a safe start for your account and secure device communication.

3

Initialize device & create a PIN

Follow the Trezor Suite setup wizard to initialize the device. Create a strong PIN on-device — PIN entry happens on the hardware screen for secure input. A good PIN combined with device custody is core to starting up your account safely.

4

Record and protect your recovery seed

The recovery seed is the single most important backup for starting up your account. Write the 12/24-word seed exactly as shown, store it offline in multiple secure locations (paper or metal), and never photograph or store the seed digitally.

5

Verify and restore if necessary

Complete the verification prompts in Trezor Suite to confirm your recovery seed. If you are starting up an account from an existing seed, use the restore flow on Trezor.io/Start to recover funds and accounts reliably.

6

Add accounts & connect to Web3

After setup, add Bitcoin, Ethereum and supported tokens in Trezor Suite. Connect to trusted dApps and always review signatures on your hardware device. Starting up your account with this discipline reduces phishing and accidental loss.

Hardware-backed security

Trezor keeps private keys offline on the device. When you start up your account, the hardware signs transactions locally so you retain custody and control.

Official and verified

Always use Trezor.io/Start and official Suite downloads. Verified downloads and JSON-LD structured pages improve indexing and ensure you begin on a secure, authentic page.

Practical tips for a safe start

Use a dedicated computer when possible, keep software updated, and consider a metal backup for the recovery seed. Limit the exposure of your recovery seed and PIN, and split backups across secure locations if appropriate. Starting up your account is not just a one-time event — maintain good security hygiene to protect access over time.
