Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®
Trezor.io/Start® is the official setup and download page for the Trezor Suite™ app — the secure desktop and browser-based interface used to initialize and manage your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you own a Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this guide ensures your wallet is genuine, secure, and ready to store your cryptocurrency safely.
Step 1: Verify and Unbox Your Device
When you receive your Trezor wallet, make sure your package is sealed and has not been tampered with. Trezor devices are shipped in original packaging and are never pre-configured with recovery seeds.
- Inspect the packaging and security seal.
- Ensure your recovery sheet is blank.
- Only purchase Trezor from Trezor.io or official partners.
Step 2: Visit the Official Start Page
Type https://trezor.io/start into your browser’s address bar. This is the only official and secure site for setting up your Trezor device. Avoid clicking on third-party links or advertisements that may redirect you to phishing sites.
Step 3: Download and Install Trezor Suite™
Trezor Suite™ is the control center for your hardware wallet. It enables you to send, receive, and exchange crypto assets safely.
- On the Trezor.io/start page, select “Download Trezor Suite.”
- Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
- Install and open the app to continue.
Step 4: Connect and Initialize Your Trezor®
Connect your hardware wallet via USB. Once Trezor Suite detects your device, you’ll be guided through the setup process.
- Install the latest firmware if prompted.
- Create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed.
- Set a secure PIN and optional passphrase for additional protection.
Step 5: Create and Store Your Recovery Seed
During setup, you’ll receive a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This phrase is your master backup. Write it down on the recovery card provided and store it in a safe offline location.
- Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
- Do not take photos or digital copies.
- Keep your recovery sheet safe from fire, water, and theft.
Step 6: Manage Your Crypto Securely
Once initialized, Trezor Suite allows you to manage assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other supported coins. Each transaction must be verified and approved directly on your Trezor device, ensuring security even on a compromised computer.
Security Recommendations
- Always confirm URLs: use trezor.io or suite.trezor.io.
- Update Trezor Suite and device firmware regularly.
- Enable passphrase protection for advanced users.
- Never reveal your recovery seed — Trezor support will never ask for it.
Troubleshooting
- Device not detected: Reconnect your device or try a different USB port.
- Firmware issue: Reinstall the firmware via the Suite’s recovery mode.
- Seed error: Double-check spelling and order during recovery.
