Introduction — Secure Your Crypto the Right Way
Welcome to Trezor.io/Start, the official onboarding path for Trezor hardware wallets and the Trezor Suite app. Whether you’re securing your very first Bitcoin or moving a growing portfolio into cold storage, this guide gives you a concise, presentation-style walkthrough: why Trezor matters, how Trezor Suite fits into your setup, and the practical steps to get from unboxing to receiving crypto — safely.
Why Trezor + Trezor Suite?
Trezor keeps your private keys offline and under your control. Trezor Suite is the official desktop application that connects to your device, verifies firmware, and lets you manage accounts, tokens, transactions, and privacy settings without exposing keys to the internet. Together they create a secure, transparent, and user-friendly environment for long-term crypto ownership.
Key benefits:
Cold storage protection for private keys (offline)
Open-source code and community audits
PIN + optional passphrase layered security
In-app firmware verification and updates
Simple receive/send flows with on-device address verification
Quick Setup Overview — 6 Steps

Download Trezor Suite (Windows / macOS / Linux) from the Start page.
Connect device & install firmware via Trezor Suite.
Create new wallet and write down your recovery seed.

Step-by-step Presentation Content
Step 1 — Go to Trezor.io/Start
Open a secure browser, type Trezor.io/Start, and download Trezor Suite. Avoid links from unsolicited messages — phishing remains the most common attack vector.
Step 2 — Install Trezor Suite
Run the official installer. Trezor Suite is your control center: balances, portfolio, send/receive, firmware updates, and privacy options. The app verifies device authenticity and acts as the only approved installer for firmware.
Step 3 — Install Firmware via Trezor Suite
When you first connect a new device, the Suite will prompt a firmware install. Firmware signed by Trezor is the only safe source — this step ensures your device isn’t tampered with before first use.
Step 4 — Create Wallet & Back Up Seed
Your device will display the recovery seed (12/18/24 words). Write it down on the provided card. Never photograph or store digitally. Store the seed offline in a secure, private location — consider a metal backup for durability.
Step 5 — PIN and Optional Passphrase
Create a strong PIN to protect against physical theft. Advanced users can enable a passphrase for an additional hidden wallet — this increases security but must be stored or memorized safely.
Step 6 — Receive & Verify On-Device
When receiving funds, generate a receive address in the Suite and confirm the address on your Trezor device screen before sharing it. On-device verification prevents address-manipulation malware from stealing funds.
Security Best Practices (Short Checklist)
Never share your recovery seed.
Never enter seed words into a computer or phone.
Only update firmware via Trezor Suite.
Verify websites by typing Trezor.io manually and checking TLS/lock icon.
Consider a metal seed backup for fire, water, and physical durability.
Keep device firmware up-to-date and check Suite release notes before major changes.
Common FAQs (Presentation-style)

What if I lose my device?
Restore your wallet using your recovery seed on any compatible hardware wallet.
