The official Trezor start page (trezor.io/start) provides a safe, step-by-step process to initialize your Trezor device. Whether you use Trezor Safe 3, Model T, or another version, the setup ensures you are operating on genuine firmware and establishing complete control of your private keys.
Upon connection, confirm that your computer uses HTTPS and the browser shows a valid certificate. The Trezor device will prompt you to install official firmware if it’s new or to verify existing firmware. Never install firmware from third-party sources.
Confirm hologram seals and connect only through trezor.io/start
. Always verify device information on the Trezor screen.
Write your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase on paper or metal. Store it offline — never in screenshots or cloud storage.
Set a strong PIN and optionally a passphrase for an extra security layer. Each passphrase creates a unique wallet instance.
Once configured, you can use Trezor Suite to send, receive, and track cryptocurrencies safely. Always confirm transaction details on your hardware screen before approval. The device display is your trusted verification source — not your computer.
For additional safety, update firmware periodically, ensure your operating system is up to date, and never use unverified browser extensions. When downloading or updating Trezor Suite, verify checksums and official digital signatures from the Trezor website.
Technically, secure implementations of trezor.io/start
should use strong headers such as:
Content-Security-Policy
,
Strict-Transport-Security
,
and Permissions-Policy
.
These prevent malicious script injection, downgrade attacks, and unauthorized data sharing.
Advanced users can enhance resilience by using passphrases stored only in memory, leveraging open-source password managers locally, or isolating crypto operations to dedicated machines. Avoid sharing devices between personal and work environments.
By following the official instructions on trezor.io/start, users safeguard their digital assets using the industry’s most trusted open-source hardware wallet. Each security layer — firmware verification, offline key generation, PIN encryption, and transparent code — helps maintain control where it belongs: with you.
