Trezor.io/Start is the official start page to initialize, backup and secure your Trezor wallet. Use Trezor.io/Start to initialize your device, generate a recovery seed, backup your wallet securely, and follow step-by-step checks to secure your crypto. Initialize at Trezor.io/Start to ensure you create an offline seed, backup correctly, and secure your Trezor wallet using trusted methods and verified software.

The Trezor.io/Start flow helps you initialize your Trezor wallet the right way: initialize with official instructions, backup using recommended methods, and secure your device so your private keys never leave hardware. This page repeats the critical steps so you can clearly see how to initialize, backup and secure your Trezor wallet at every stage.

Quick Start — Initialize, Backup & Secure
  1. Visit Trezor.io/Start on a secure computer and download official Trezor Suite if recommended.
  2. Initialize your Trezor wallet on-device: generate a recovery seed and write it down offline — this is your backup.
  3. Secure your wallet by verifying firmware, setting a PIN, optionally adding a passphrase, and storing backups safely.

Initialize Your Trezor Wallet — Step-by-Step

The initialize flow at Trezor.io/Start covers every step to initialize, backup and secure your Trezor wallet. Follow these actions on a secure device and keep your backup offline. Initialize on-device, backup your recovery seed physically, and secure the device with PIN and optional passphrase.

Step 1 — Verify & Download

Start at Trezor.io/Start to download official Trezor Suite or recommended tools. Verify checksums and PGP signatures where available before you initialize your wallet to ensure authenticity.

Step 2 — Initialize on Device

Connect your Trezor, choose "Create new wallet" or "Restore wallet". The device will generate a recovery seed — initialize by letting the device create the seed offline for best security.

Step 3 — Write Down Backup

When prompted, write down your recovery words on paper or metal. This backup is the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost — backup immediately when you initialize.

Step 4 — PIN & Passphrase

Set a PIN to protect your device and optionally enable a passphrase for an additional security layer. These steps help secure your wallet after you initialize and backup.

Backup Best Practices
  • Create multiple physical backups of your recovery seed when you initialize.
  • Store backups in separate secure locations (safe deposit, home safe, trusted person).
  • Consider using a metal backup for long-term durability — this protects your backup after you initialize and backup your wallet.

Download & Verify — Keep It Official

Always use links from Trezor.io/Start to download the official Trezor Suite and Bridge components. Verify files using provided checksums or signatures before you initialize or update firmware. Using official downloads helps you initialize, backup and secure your Trezor wallet without risking tampered software.

After installing official tools, run the initialize flow in Trezor Suite or via the web guide on Trezor.io/Start. Follow the instructions to create your backup and secure your wallet properly.
