Trezor.io/start – Official Setup Guide for Your Trezor Wallet

Trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for initializing your Trezor hardware wallet, including the Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T. This guide walks you through securing your crypto assets by properly setting up your device using Trezor Suite.

1. What Is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the first step for users who are setting up a new or reset Trezor device. It ensures that you install only official software, perform secure device setup, and understand how to back up your recovery seed properly.

2. Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Step 1: Unbox and Connect Your Device

  • Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
  • If prompted, confirm the connection on the device screen.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

  • Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application used to interact with your Trezor wallet.
  • You’ll be prompted to download Trezor Suite during setup. Follow the on-screen instructions for your operating system.

Step 3: Initialize the Device

  • Choose the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
  • Create a strong PIN code directly on your Trezor device. This protects your wallet if the device is lost or stolen.

Step 4: Back Up Your Recovery Seed

  • Your Trezor will generate a 12 or 24-word recovery seed.
  • Write it down carefully and store it offline in a secure place. Never take a screenshot or store it digitally.
  • You will be asked to confirm the recovery seed to ensure accuracy.

Step 5: Start Using Your Wallet

  • Once setup is complete, you can begin adding accounts, receiving crypto, sending funds, and using DeFi and other Web3 services through Trezor Suite.

3. Security Best Practices

  • Never share your recovery seed. No one, not even Trezor, will ever ask for it.
  • Always verify transactions directly on your Trezor device before confirming.
  • Use only official software and websites. Manually type addresses like Trezor.io/start into your browser.
  • Keep your firmware updated via Trezor Suite to receive the latest security enhancements.

4. System Requirements

  • Windows: Windows 10 or newer
  • macOS: macOS 10.11 and up
  • Linux: Most major distributions (64-bit)
  • Browser (for web suite): Chrome, Firefox, or Brave (latest versions)
