Getting Started with Trezor: trezor.io/start

Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet is a crucial step to securing your cryptocurrency. Trezor makes it easy with their guided setup at trezor.io/start. Here’s what to expect and how to do it safely.

What You Need

Before you begin, ensure you have:

• Your Trezor device (Model One or Model T)
• A computer with a reliable internet connection
• A USB cable for connection
• A safe place to write and store your recovery seed

Step 1: Visit trezor.io/start

Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start. Choose your Trezor model. Trezor will prompt you to install Trezor Suite, the official desktop app for managing your device. Download and install it from the official site only.

Step 2: Connect and Install Firmware

Plug your Trezor device into your computer. If your device doesn’t have firmware yet, Trezor Suite will guide you through installing it. Always check that the firmware is genuine by verifying the hologram seal and downloading only through trezor.io.

Step 3: Create a New Wallet

Next, choose “Create new wallet.” Your Trezor will generate your unique recovery seed (usually 12 or 24 words). Write these words down carefully on the provided recovery card — never store them digitally or take photos. This seed is your backup; anyone with it can access your funds.

Step 4: Confirm Your Recovery Seed

Trezor will ask you to confirm your recovery words in the correct order. This ensures you’ve backed up your wallet correctly. Take your time; this step protects you from losing access in the future.

Step 5: Secure Your Wallet

Once your wallet is set up, you can add an extra layer of security by setting a PIN. Memorize your PIN and never share it. In Trezor Suite, you can now manage your cryptocurrencies — receive, send, and track your portfolio securely.

Final Tips

• Always access your wallet using Trezor Suite downloaded from trezor.io/start.
• Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone.
• Keep your Trezor device and recovery seed in safe, separate locations.

By following these steps at trezor.io/start, you take control of your crypto security with confidence.
