trezor.io/start — Official Trezor® Setup & Quick start Guide hardware with handing®
Why Trezor? (H2)
Trezor hardware wallets keep your private keys offline so transactions require physical confirmation on the device — reducing exposure to online attacks. They are open-source, battle-tested, and designed specifically for crypto custody. Use Trezor when you value real ownership, privacy, and long-term security.
Key benefits (H3)
- Offline private key storage and on-device transaction confirmation.
- Open-source firmware & community-audited security model.
- Simple backup and recovery flow with a seed phrase.
Quick Start — 5 minute flow (H2)
Step 1 — Prepare (H3)
Unbox your Trezor and verify packaging integrity. Use only the official site to download Trezor Suite. Never accept firmware or software from unknown sources.
What you'll need (H4)
- Your Trezor device (Model One / Model T / Safe)
- A computer or phone with internet access
- A secure place to write your recovery seed
Step 2 — Connect & install (H3)
Go to trezor.io/start, follow the guided installer, install firmware if prompted, then create a PIN and write your seed. Confirm each on-device prompt — this is the hardware “handing” that makes Trezor secure.
Safety tip (H5)
Never type your recovery seed into a computer or take a photo of it. Store the seed physically and offline. Treat it like the key to your safe — because it is.
Maintain & Verify (H2)
