Introduction to Trezor.io/start
Trezor.io/start is the official onboarding portal for new and experienced Trezor users. It guides you through setting up your hardware wallet, initializing secure recovery seeds, connecting to Trezor Suite, and exploring developer resources. The page ensures a smooth start for managing cryptocurrencies securely.
Step-by-step Setup
Follow step-by-step instructions for initializing your Trezor device. Connect via Trezor Bridge, create a recovery seed, and safely backup your recovery phrases. Connect your device to Trezor Suite for account management and transaction monitoring. Security best practices are reinforced throughout the setup.
Security Guidance
Trezor.io/start emphasizes never sharing your recovery seed, using a secure PIN, and verifying transactions directly on the device screen. The portal explains threats such as phishing, malware, and physical access attacks, giving users confidence in managing digital assets safely.
Trezor Bridge & Suite Integration
