Getting Started with Trezor.io/Start® – A Complete Setup Guide

If you’ve decided to take control of your cryptocurrency, you're on the right path by choosing Trezor, one of the most trusted hardware wallets on the market. But before you can safely manage your digital assets, you need to visit Trezor.io/Start — the official setup portal. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to get your Trezor device up and running.

Why Use Trezor.io/Start®?

This page is your gateway to securely initializing your device. Trezor.io/Start ensures you are downloading authentic software and firmware, directly from the source — no risky third-party downloads.

Step 1: Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T into your computer using the USB cable provided. You’ll be prompted to go to Trezor.io/Start in your browser.

Make sure the URL is correct and secure — check for the HTTPS and lock icon in the address bar.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Once on the site, you’ll be guided to download the Trezor Suite, the official desktop app that helps you interact with your wallet. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The Suite allows you to manage your coins, update firmware, and access advanced security features, all in one clean interface.

Step 3: Firmware Update

If your device is brand new, it ships without firmware to ensure you download it directly from Trezor.io. After launching Trezor Suite, you’ll be asked to install the latest firmware. This process ensures you have the most secure and up-to-date version.

Step 4: Create a Wallet

You’ll now be prompted to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. When creating a new wallet, your device will display a recovery seed phrase — 12 or 24 words you must write down and store offline.

Important: Never take a photo of this seed or store it digitally. If someone gains access to this seed, they control your assets.

Step 5: Set a PIN

Next, choose a secure PIN for your Trezor device. This PIN is required every time you plug in your device. Trezor uses a randomized on-screen PIN layout to protect against screen loggers.

Final Tips

• Bookmark Trezor.io/Start to avoid phishing.
• Always verify actions on your Trezor device screen.
• Regularly check for firmware updates via Trezor Suite.

By following the process on Trezor.io/Start, you're setting the foundation for a secure crypto experience. You now hold the keys to your assets — literally. Welcome to financial sovereignty.
