Trezor.io/Start – Overview

Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for initializing Trezor hardware wallets such as the Trezor Model T or Trezor One. This website guides you through connecting your device, installing necessary software, and securing your cryptocurrency wallet.


Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Visit the Official Page

Go to https://trezor.io/start using a secure browser.

2. Choose Your Device

Select your device model:

  • Trezor Model T
  • Trezor Model One

This ensures the instructions are tailored to your device.


3. Download and Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your wallet.

  • Click Download Trezor Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
  • Install the software and launch it.
💡 You can also use the web version of Trezor Suite, but the desktop version is more secure.

4. Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Plug your Trezor wallet into your computer via USB.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite to detect your device.

5. Install Firmware

If it's a new device, it will not have firmware pre-installed.

  • Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest official firmware.
  • Confirm installation on your Trezor screen.

6. Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One

  • Choose “Create a new wallet” if this is your first time.
  • Choose “Recover wallet” if you're restoring an old one using your recovery seed.

7. Backup Your Recovery Seed

  • Your Trezor will show a 12 or 24-word recovery seed.
  • Write it down carefully on paper and store it securely. Do not take a photo or store it digitally.
  • Confirm you’ve written the words down correctly.

8. Set a PIN Code

  • Choose a secure PIN code using your Trezor device and Trezor Suite.
  • This PIN will be required every time you unlock the device.

9. Start Using Your Wallet

Once setup is complete, you can:

  • Send and receive crypto
  • View portfolio balances
  • Manage accounts and settings

Security Tips

  • Always access the setup through trezor.io/start.
  • Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
  • Only buy Trezor devices directly from Trezor.io or authorized resellers.
