Welcome to Trezor.io/start
Trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for Trezor hardware wallets. Whether you’re a first-time crypto user or an experienced investor, this guide helps you safely initialize your Trezor One or Trezor Model T, install the Trezor Suite application, and start managing your cryptocurrency securely.
1. Verify Your Trezor Package
Begin by inspecting your Trezor package. Official devices arrive sealed with tamper-evident packaging to ensure authenticity. If the seal appears broken or the box looks altered, contact Trezor Support before proceeding.
- Confirm that the holographic seal is intact.
- Ensure all accessories are present (USB cable, instructions, recovery cards).
- Do not connect your device until instructed on the official site.
2. Visit the Official Trezor Start Page
Open your browser and go directly to https://trezor.io/start. This is the only legitimate site for setting up your device — avoid third-party websites or extensions that claim to offer setup tools.
3. Download and Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your crypto portfolio. It connects directly with your hardware wallet, ensuring that your private keys remain offline and protected. You can use Trezor Suite on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Download from the official Trezor Suite page.
- Follow installation instructions and open the app.
- Connect your Trezor using the provided USB cable.
4. Initialize or Recover Your Wallet
Once connected, you’ll be prompted to initialize your device:
- Create New Wallet: Generate a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase and store it securely offline.
- Recover Wallet: Use your existing recovery phrase on the Trezor device (never on your computer).
- Set a PIN for additional protection.
5. Stay Secure
- Never share your recovery phrase — Trezor will never ask for it.
- Always verify the website URL (https://trezor.io) before downloading software.
- Approve all actions directly on your Trezor screen.
- Keep firmware and Trezor Suite up to date for optimal security.
6. Manage Your Crypto Portfolio
Once setup is complete, use Trezor Suite to send, receive, and manage your digital assets with confidence. You can track portfolio performance, exchange tokens, and access supported networks — all with your private keys secured inside your hardware wallet.
7. Backup and Recovery
Your recovery phrase is your ultimate backup. Store it in a secure, offline location such as a safe or metal backup plate. If your device is ever lost or damaged, you can restore your funds using this phrase on any Trezor hardware wallet.
8. Get Help and Learn More
If you encounter any setup issues, visit the Trezor Support Center for troubleshooting tips, video guides, and security updates. You can also explore the Trezor Learn Hub for educational content about crypto safety.
Conclusion
Setting up your device through Trezor.io/start guarantees the most secure and authentic experience. With your Trezor hardware wallet and Trezor Suite, you maintain full control over your private keys and digital wealth. Start your crypto journey safely — with confidence, privacy, and peace of mind.
