Welcome to Trezor.io/Start
Trezor.io/Start is the official initialization page for all Trezor hardware wallets, including Trezor Model T and Trezor One. Here, users are guided through the process of setting up their device, installing Trezor Suite, and securing their digital assets. This ensures that every user configures their Trezor safely and avoids counterfeit software or phishing risks.
1. Unbox and Verify Your Trezor Device
Begin by carefully unboxing your new Trezor. Each package includes your hardware wallet, a USB cable, and recovery sheets. Verify that the box and holographic seals are intact — this confirms your device is genuine and untampered.
- Ensure seals are unbroken and match official Trezor branding.
- Use only the included cable to connect your device.
- Do not plug in your Trezor until you visit the official setup page.
2. Navigate to the Official Setup Page
On your computer, open a browser and go to the verified link: https://trezor.io/start. This is the only authentic setup page managed by SatoshiLabs.
From there, you’ll be prompted to download the Trezor Suite — the official desktop and web application for managing your wallet.
3. Download and Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Once downloaded, open the installer and follow the setup wizard to complete installation.
- Download only from the official Trezor Suite page.
- Install and launch the application on your device.
- Connect your Trezor wallet via USB when prompted.
4. Initialize or Recover Your Wallet
When connected, you can choose to initialize a new wallet or recover an existing one. Follow on-screen prompts within Trezor Suite to complete this securely.
- New Wallet: Create a new seed phrase (12–24 words).
- Recover Wallet: Use your existing recovery seed.
- Set a PIN code to lock access to your Trezor device.
Never share your recovery phrase or enter it on any website. Always verify instructions directly on your Trezor device screen.
5. Security Recommendations
- Only use Trezor.io for downloads and updates.
- Confirm firmware updates on your device before proceeding.
- Enable the optional passphrase feature for advanced protection.
- Store your recovery phrase offline in a safe, private location.
Trezor ensures your private keys never leave your hardware wallet, keeping your assets safe even on compromised computers.
6. Managing Your Crypto with Trezor Suite
Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite allows you to send, receive, and manage multiple cryptocurrencies from one secure dashboard. You can track portfolio performance, view real-time prices, and exchange assets safely through trusted integrated partners.
7. Backup and Recovery
During setup, you’ll receive a recovery phrase — the only backup for your wallet. Write it down carefully and store it offline. If your device is ever lost or damaged, you can restore access using this phrase through Trezor Suite.
8. Troubleshooting and Support
If your device isn’t recognized or you experience connection issues:
- Use the original USB cable and try a different port.
- Ensure the latest firmware and Suite version are installed.
- Restart both your device and computer if necessary.
- Visit the Trezor Support Center for official assistance.
Final Thoughts
Setting up through Trezor.io/Start guarantees authenticity, ensuring your crypto security begins the right way. With Trezor Suite and your hardware wallet, you maintain full control of your private keys and digital wealth — safely, easily, and transparently.
