Short description
The trezor.io/start landing page is designed to guide new Trezor owners through the entire first-time experience — from installing the official Trezor Suite application to creating a secure recovery seed and confirming your first transaction. It’s a lightweight, step-by-step workflow focused on security and clarity so you can protect your crypto with confidence.
Why follow the official start flow?
Using the official start flow minimises risk: the Trezor Suite app is the recommended companion for desktop users and the web alternative is available for browser-based setup. The official flow ensures you run genuine software, perform firmware checks, and write down an authentic recovery seed instead of using third-party shortcuts that can increase exposure to scams or mistakes.
Step-by-step — what to do
- Download Trezor Suite — For the best experience, download the Trezor Suite desktop application; if you prefer, you can continue in the browser with the web app. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

- Secure your recovery seed — Write down the displayed recovery words exactly as shown, keep them offline, and store them in a secure place. Do not photograph or copy the seed to cloud storage or email.

Security checklist
Before you begin: verify packaging and device authenticity, always use the official Trezor Suite (or web app) from trezor.io/start, create the recovery seed in private, enable a PIN, and keep firmware up to date through the official interface. These simple steps significantly reduce risk from tampered devices, phishing sites, and malware.
What to expect after setup
Once your device is initialized and secured, you’ll be able to manage supported coins, sign transactions on-device, and integrate with third-party wallets that list Trezor compatibility. Regular firmware and app updates keep the device resilient against emerging threats; check the app for update prompts and follow official instructions when performing upgrades.
