🌐 What Is trezor.io/start?

trezor.io/start is the official setup page for all Trezor hardware wallets (like Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T). It helps you install the Trezor Suite app, set up your device securely, and create or recover a crypto wallet.

🛠 Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Go to trezor.io/start

  • Open your browser and visit https://trezor.io/start.
  • Choose your device model: Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T.

2. Download and Install Trezor Suite

  • Click on the link to download Trezor Suite (for Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  • Install the app on your computer and open it.

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Plug your Trezor into your computer using the USB cable.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts on both your computer and the Trezor screen.

4. Install Firmware (if prompted)

  • If it's your first time using the device, you'll be asked to install the firmware.
  • Confirm the installation only if you’re using Trezor Suite (never trust third-party software).

5. Create a New Wallet

  • Choose "Create new wallet" on your screen.
  • Confirm the action on your Trezor device.

6. Write Down Your Recovery Seed

  • The device will show a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.
  • Write it down on paper (never take screenshots or store it online).
  • This seed is your only backup to recover your funds.

7. Confirm Your Seed

  • The Suite may ask you to re-confirm a few words to ensure you backed it up correctly.

8. Set a PIN

  • Set a secure PIN code to protect your Trezor.
  • You’ll need this PIN every time you connect your wallet.

9. Trezor Wallet Ready

  • Once setup is complete, you’ll see your wallet dashboard.
  • From here, you can send/receive coins, manage assets, and connect to exchanges or DeFi apps.

🔒 Important Security Tips

  • Only use Trezor Suite downloaded from trezor.io/start.
  • Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone.
  • Keep your recovery seed safe and offline.
