Trezor.io/Start – Complete Setup Guide for Your Trezor Hardware Wallet

Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for Trezor® hardware wallets, including the Trezor Model One® and Trezor Model T®. This page helps you initialize your device, install the required software, and secure your cryptocurrency with industry-leading protection. Using the official start page ensures that you are following trusted steps and avoiding phishing sites.

Step 1: Unbox and Inspect the Device

When you receive your Trezor hardware wallet, carefully check the packaging. Make sure the box seal is intact and has not been tampered with. Trezor devices are shipped with security seals to ensure authenticity. If anything looks suspicious, contact the seller before using the device.

Inside the box, you will typically find:

  • Trezor hardware wallet
  • USB cable
  • Recovery seed cards
  • Instruction manual

Step 2: Connect to Your Computer

Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the USB cable provided. Once connected, open your web browser and go to the official setup page: trezor.io/start. This page will guide you step by step through the process.

Select your device model:

  • Trezor Model One
  • Trezor Model T

After selecting the model, you will be prompted to install Trezor Suite®, the official desktop or web application used to manage your crypto assets.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Download Trezor Suite from the official website. It is available for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

After installation, open the application and follow the on-screen instructions. The software will detect your device and prompt you to install the latest firmware if needed. Always install firmware directly through Trezor Suite to avoid security risks.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

Once the firmware is installed, you can create a new wallet. The device will generate a recovery seed, usually a 12- or 24-word phrase. This seed is the most important part of your wallet security.

Important tips:

  • Write the seed on the recovery card provided.
  • Never take a photo or store it digitally.
  • Keep it in a safe, offline location.

If your device is ever lost or damaged, this recovery seed is the only way to restore your funds.

Step 5: Set a PIN and Optional Passphrase

Next, you will be asked to create a PIN. This protects your device from unauthorized access. Each time you connect your Trezor, you will need to enter this PIN.

You may also enable an optional passphrase for extra security. This creates hidden wallets that only you can access with the correct passphrase.

Step 6: Start Using Your Wallet

After setup, you can:

  • Receive cryptocurrency
  • Send transactions
  • Check balances
  • Manage multiple assets

Trezor Suite supports popular coins like Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, and many others.

Security Best Practices

  • Always access the official site: trezor.io/start
  • Never share your recovery seed with anyone
  • Keep firmware updated
  • Store your seed in a secure location

By following the instructions at trezor.io/start, you can safely set up your Trezor wallet and take full control of your digital assets with confidence.
