Trezor.io/start: Official Setup Portal for Trezor Hardware Wallets

Trezor.io/start is the official onboarding page provided by SatoshiLabs for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you're using a Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this page offers step-by-step instructions to guide you through secure initialization, firmware installation, and the first use of Trezor Suite—your gateway to safely managing cryptocurrency.

Purpose of Trezor.io/start

The primary purpose of Trezor.io/start is to ensure that users begin their crypto journey with their Trezor wallet safely and correctly. This page is designed to:

  • Help users verify device authenticity
  • Guide first-time setup of the Trezor device
  • Install or access Trezor Suite
  • Generate and back up a secure recovery seed
  • Prepare the wallet for safe crypto storage and usage

This process ensures that users are not exposed to counterfeit products or malicious software and that private keys are never exposed online.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

  1. Visit Trezor.io/start
     Open a secure browser and type the URL directly. Do not rely on search engine results or third-party links.
  2. Select Your Device Model
     Choose between Trezor Model T or Trezor One to access specific instructions tailored to your device.
  3. Install Trezor Suite
     You'll be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your wallet. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. There’s also a web version for those who prefer browser access.
  4. Connect Your Trezor
     Use the USB cable provided to connect your device to your computer. The app will detect the hardware and prompt you to proceed.
  5. Install Firmware (if required)
     Some new Trezor devices are shipped without firmware. If prompted, install the firmware directly through Trezor Suite. This ensures you are using secure, verified software.
  6. Create a New Wallet
     After the firmware is installed, select the option to Create New Wallet. The device will generate a 12- to 24-word recovery seed—this is your master backup.
  7. Write Down Your Recovery Seed
     Record the seed on the provided recovery card and never share it or store it digitally. This is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
  8. Confirm Recovery Seed
     You'll be asked to re-enter selected words from the recovery phrase on the device to confirm it was recorded correctly.
  9. Set a PIN Code
     Choose a secure PIN directly on the device. This PIN is required each time you connect and use the wallet.
  10. Access Your Wallet
     Once the setup is complete, you can begin managing your crypto through Trezor Suite—adding accounts, sending and receiving assets, and using advanced privacy tools.

Key Security Practices

  • Always go directly to Trezor.io/start—avoid links from emails or ads.
  • Never share or enter your recovery phrase online or on any app.
  • Use a strong and unique PIN code.
  • Verify transaction details on the device screen before approving.
  • Keep your recovery seed offline, stored in a private and secure place.

When to Use Trezor.io/start

  • First-time setup of a new Trezor device
  • Reinitializing a reset or wiped device
  • Installing or updating Trezor Suite
  • Verifying official instructions and support
