Trezor.io/Start — Starting Up Your Device | Trezor

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Trezor.io/Start is the official setup page for initializing and securing your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’ve purchased a Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, this guide will help you complete the setup process safely and easily. A Trezor device allows you to store and manage your cryptocurrencies offline, protecting them from online hacks, malware, and phishing threats.

This page explains how to correctly navigate the setup process, create your recovery seed, install firmware, and start managing your crypto assets with full security.

Why Use a Trezor Hardware Wallet?

Cryptocurrencies stored on exchanges or online wallets are vulnerable to cyberattacks. A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline and under your control. With Trezor, you own your crypto, eliminating reliance on third-party platforms.

How to Set Up Your Trezor Device Using Trezor.io/Start

Follow these steps to begin using your wallet safely:

Step 1: Visit the Official Setup Page

Open your browser and go to:

👉 https://trezor.io/start

This page ensures you are installing official software and not a phishing copy.

Step 2: Choose Your Device

Select your model:

  • Trezor Model One
  • Trezor Model T

Each product has its own setup instructions and firmware installer.

Step 3: Connect Trezor to Your Computer

Use the USB cable provided in the box and plug it into your laptop or desktop computer. For mobile devices, compatible apps and adapters may be required.

Step 4: Install Trezor Suite

You will be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the management software where you:

  • Create new wallets
  • Check balances & transaction history
  • Buy, sell, swap and send cryptocurrencies

Download for:

  • Windows

  • Linux

Step 5: Install Firmware

Trezor devices ship without preinstalled firmware for security reasons. Follow instructions on the screen to install the latest version. Do not disconnect the device during the update.

Step 6: Create Your Wallet & Recovery Seed

When creating a new wallet, your Trezor device generates a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed. This is the master key to restore your crypto if your wallet is lost or damaged.

Important Recovery Seed Rules

  • Write the words on paper and store offline
  • Never take a photo or store digitally
  • Never share your seed with anyone
  • Trezor employees will never ask for it

Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can take your funds. Protect it carefully.

Step 7: Set a PIN & Enable Security Features

Choose a strong PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access. You can also enable:

  • Passphrase protection
  • Shamir backup (available on Model T)
  • Biometric & hardware-based encryption
