Welcome to the official Trézor® device setup portal at Trézor.io/Start®. This is your secure starting point for configuring your hardware wallet, protecting your cryptocurrency assets, and ensuring maximum digital security. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, this portal provides a seamless, secure, and guided setup process.
Setting up your Trézor® device properly is essential for safeguarding your private keys and maintaining full control over your digital wealth. This page walks you through the complete setup process while explaining the key security principles that make Trézor® one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the world.
Important: Always ensure you are visiting the official Trézor.io/Start® portal before entering any sensitive information. Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone.
Unlike software wallets or exchange-based storage, a hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline. This significantly reduces the risk of hacking, phishing attacks, malware infections, and unauthorized access.
By completing your device setup through the official portal, you activate these powerful security features and ensure your crypto remains under your full control.
Carefully unbox your Trézor® hardware wallet and check that the packaging is intact. Verify that security seals are undamaged. If anything appears suspicious, contact support before proceeding.
Using the included USB cable, connect your Trézor® device to your computer. Visit Trézor.io/Start® to begin the setup process. The portal will automatically detect your device model and guide you accordingly.
The setup portal may prompt you to install Trézor Suite, the official desktop or browser-based application used to manage your wallet. Always download software directly from the official portal.
If your device does not have firmware installed, you will be prompted to install it. Firmware ensures your hardware wallet runs securely and efficiently. Always confirm firmware installation directly on your device screen.
Choose the option to create a new wallet. Your device will generate a unique recovery seed phrase. This seed is the master key to your crypto assets.
Critical Security Step: Write down your recovery seed on the provided recovery card. Never store it digitally, never photograph it, and never share it online.
Create a strong PIN directly on your device. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized physical access. Choose a unique combination that cannot be easily guessed.
The recovery seed is a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase generated by your device. It acts as a backup of your entire wallet. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can recover your assets using this seed on a new Trézor® device.
Keep your recovery seed:
Anyone who has access to your recovery seed has access to your funds. Treat it as you would physical gold or cash.
Security is the foundation of cryptocurrency ownership. Follow these best practices to maintain maximum protection:
By following these guidelines, you significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats.
Once setup is complete, you can use Trézor Suite to manage your crypto portfolio. The platform allows you to:
All transactions must be physically confirmed on your hardware device, adding an extra layer of protection.
For enhanced privacy, enable passphrase functionality. This creates hidden wallets that cannot be accessed without your custom passphrase.

The open-source architecture allows public security audits and continuous improvement, reinforcing trust and reliability.
