Trezor.io/start Overview
Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for all Trezor hardware wallets, including the Trezor Model T and Trezor One. This page provides verified instructions, software downloads, and guidance for initializing and securing your Trezor device. Whether you're a first-time user or setting up a new wallet, Trezor.io/start is the only trusted source for getting started safely and correctly.
Getting Started with Your Trezor Wallet
To begin, visit https://trezor.io/start in your web browser. You’ll be asked to choose your device model to receive step-by-step instructions tailored to your hardware wallet.
Once selected, you will be prompted to download and install Trezor Suite, the official desktop or web app used to manage your crypto assets. Trezor Suite is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems and is also available in a web-based version for convenience.
Setting Up Your Device
After installing Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor device to your computer using the USB cable provided. You will be guided through the setup process, including:
- Installing the latest firmware (if needed)
- Creating a new wallet or restoring from an existing recovery phrase
- Generating your recovery seed, a 12 or 24-word phrase that serves as your wallet backup
- Setting a PIN code for device access
You must write down your recovery seed on paper and store it in a safe, offline location. This seed is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Using Trezor Suite After Setup
Once your wallet is set up, Trezor Suite allows you to securely manage your cryptocurrencies. You can:
- Send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported coins
- Monitor portfolio balances and transaction history
- Exchange crypto using integrated third-party providers
- Stake supported coins and earn rewards
- Connect to decentralized apps (dApps) through Trezor Suite + Trezor Bridge
All sensitive operations must be physically confirmed on your Trezor device, keeping your private keys offline and safe from hackers.
Security Best Practices
Trezor.io/start provides essential security tips during setup, including:
- Verifying that your device is genuine and untampered
- Never sharing or entering your recovery phrase online
- Only using official apps and downloads from trezor.io
Your recovery phrase is never stored or transmitted digitally. Trezor cannot help recover it, so your security depends on storing it properly.
Disclaimer
Trezor.io/start is the only official and trusted source for setting up Trezor devices. Never use third-party websites, software, or links to initialize your wallet. Trezor does not store your recovery phrase, PIN, or private keys. You are fully responsible for the security of your device and backup phrase. Loss of this information may result in permanent loss of access to your funds. Always verify that you're on the authentic Trezor website before proceeding.
