Start Your Trezor® Device Securely
Trezor.io/Start exists to guide users through the first interaction with a new hardware wallet. Unlike software-only solutions, the setup process emphasizes physical confirmation, offline key generation, and transparent verification at every stage.
From the moment the device is connected, the environment focuses on helping users slow down, read instructions carefully, and understand why each step matters. This foundation reduces mistakes and builds long-term confidence.
Core Setup Principles
Device-Based Key Creation
Private keys are generated inside the hardware itself, not on the computer or browser. This ensures sensitive data never touches an online system.
Recovery Awareness
During setup, users are introduced to recovery concepts that ensure long-term access. Responsibility stays with the owner, not with any third party.
Verified User Control
Each confirmation requires physical interaction with the device, preventing silent actions or background approvals.
How Trezor.io/Start Works
Rather than functioning as a traditional login page, Trezor.io/Start acts as a structured guide. It connects your device to the setup interface while ensuring that critical decisions remain visible and intentional.
Visual separation between guidance, confirmation, and device interaction helps users understand where actions occur. This clarity reduces confusion and reinforces trust in the setup process.
The experience is designed to be educational as well as functional, helping users build correct habits from the beginning.
Preparation & Best Practices
Before starting, ensure you are using a private environment with a secure internet connection. Avoid distractions and take time to read each screen carefully. Setup is a one-time foundation for long-term security.
Recovery information should always be handled offline and stored safely. The setup flow reinforces this responsibility without overwhelming the user or creating unnecessary stress.
