Quick Start — Trezor io Start (Overview)

This section is a short, clear path: unbox, connect, initialize, backup, update. Use this as your primary checklist when following Trezor io Start. If you prefer visuals, open wallet.trezor.io or follow the official guide links below.

1. Unbox & Inspect (h3)

Confirm the tamper-evident seal is intact and the device serial number matches packaging. Never use a device that shows evidence of tampering.

2. Connect to a Trusted Computer

Use a computer or smartphone you trust. Visit trezor.io/start (or type Trezor io Start) — the site will guide you to wallet.trezor.io to continue.

3. Initialize & Create PIN

Follow on-screen prompts to create a device PIN. Choose a PIN you can remember but is not easily guessable. The PIN protects local access to your device.

4. Write Down Your Recovery Seed

Write the recovery seed words in the exact order on the supplied recovery card. Keep this in a secure location; never photograph or store your seed online.

Security Best Practices (h2)

Why safety matters (h4)

Trezor is a hardware wallet that isolates private keys from online devices. The device and recovery seed together are the single source of access to your crypto. Follow simple safeguards to dramatically reduce risk.

Practical rules (h5)

Using Your Trezor — day-to-day (h2)

After setup, you will access accounts via Trezor Suite or compatible wallets. Confirm every transaction on the device screen before approving. The device displays addresses and amounts independently of your computer—this is how it keeps transactions secure.

Recommended workflow (h3)

  1. Open wallet.trezor.io or Trezor Suite.
  2. Connect device and enter PIN.
  3. Confirm addresses and sign transactions on the device only.

Advanced options (h4)

Consider using a passphrase (adds an extra word to your seed) for plausible deniability or to create hidden wallets. WARNING: passphrases are powerful but irreversible — losing it loses access.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions (h2)

Q: What is Trezor io Start?
A: Trezor io Start refers to the official onboarding portal at trezor.io/start that walks new users through setup, firmware checks, and connecting to Trezor Suite or wallet.trezor.io.
Q: Can I restore my wallet on another device?
A: Yes — use your recovery seed on a compatible Trezor device or a compatible BIP39-compatible wallet. Restoring to third-party software increases risk; preferred route is a second hardware device.
Q: Is it safe to buy used Trezor devices?
A: No — always buy new from official channels. A used device may be tampered with. If you already have one, reset it to factory settings and create a fresh seed only if you fully trust the device.
Q: What if I lose my recovery seed?
A: Without the seed you cannot recover funds. If funds are large, consider splitting into multiple small wallets and using multisig solutions for redundancy.
Q: What is the difference between PIN and passphrase?
A: PIN protects the device's immediate local access. A passphrase is an optional additional secret added to the recovery seed creating hidden accounts. Use passphrase carefully — losing it means losing access.

Support & Next Steps (h2)

If you hit difficulty, use the official support channels listed above. Keep a short checklist near your seed (not stored online) and practice a recovery drill with a small amount of funds to verify your backup works.
