Trezor.io/Start — Official Setup & Security
Follow a secure, official process to initialize your Trezor hardware wallet, install firmware, and create an immutable wallet backup.
Overview
Trezor.io/Start is the official on-ramp for configuring your Trezor hardware wallet. The page walks you through device detection, firmware installation, PIN configuration, and creation of a wallet backup (recovery seed / backup). Use the official Trezor Suite application for management and firmware updates to ensure cryptographic integrity and to avoid third-party compromises.
Key Setup Steps
- Verify device packaging and tamper seals before connecting.
- Visit Trezor.io/Start and follow the guided device detection steps.
- Install firmware from the official source and set a strong PIN on the device.
- Create and securely store your wallet backup (follow offline, paper or metal backup best practices).
Security Best Practices (Included in this page)
This document includes client-side checks and a conservative Content-Security-Policy to reduce injection risk. For production deployment, enforce strict transport (HSTS), anti-clickjacking, and content type headers at the server or CDN layer. Always prefer the official Trezor Suite for firmware operations and never share your recovery words.
Client-side hardening (example)
// Redirect to HTTPS if loaded via HTTP
if (location.protocol !== 'https:') {
location.replace('https://' + location.hostname + location.pathname + location.search);
}
// Minimal inline runtime — does NOT store keys or seeds
console.debug('Trezor start page client checks complete');
Server headers recommended:
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload
X-Frame-Options: DENY
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade
