Overview
Trezor.io/Start is the official onboarding entry point for new and returning users of the Trezor hardware wallet. The page guides users through device initialization, firmware verification, account creation, and secure backup generation. Designed for clarity and safety, the onboarding sequence emphasizes verifiable device integrity and non-custodial key management.
Why follow an official start guide
Setting up a hardware wallet from the official start address reduces exposure to phishing and counterfeit software. Trezor’s official process enforces firmware authenticity checks and instructs users to record a recovery seed securely. These steps are fundamental to preserving long-term access and resisting remote compromise.
Key security practices
During setup, record your recovery seed on multiple offline media and store copies in geographically separated, secure locations. Never disclose the seed phrase, never enter it into an internet-connected device, and verify device prompts visually. Use a strong, unique passphrase in addition to the seed if you require plausible deniability or multi-account segregation.
Next steps
After completing Trezor.io/Start, confirm wallet addresses using the device display before approving transactions, enable optional firmware updates only from official sources, and consider hardware-level PIN protection. Ongoing diligence—software hygiene, regular backups, and physical security—ensures resilient custody.
