— 1 min read

trezor.io/start is the official setup page for Trezor hardware wallets (like Trezor Model One and Model T). It’s the starting point you use when you first get your device and want to set it up safely.

👉 Always type trezor.io/start manually into your browser to avoid fake sites or phishing pages.

Step‑by‑Step: What Happens When You Visit trezor.io/start

1. Confirm Your Device

Once you’re on the page, you’ll choose your Trezor model (Model One or Model T).

2. Download Trezor Suite

The page links you to download Trezor Suite — the official app you’ll use on your computer or mobile for managing your crypto.

Trezor Suite is available for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
    and sometimes a browser version too, but the desktop app is recommended for best security.

3. Connect and Initialize Your Device

After installing Trezor Suite:

  • Plug your Trezor device into your computer with the USB cable
  • The app detects the device and begins the setup process
  • You’ll be guided through firmware installation (if needed) and wallet creation.

4. Generate & Secure Your Recovery Seed

This is one of the most important parts:

  • You’ll get a recovery seed phrase (usually 12 – 24 words)
  • Write it down on paper — never store it digitally
  • Keep it safe — this is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose your device.

🔒 Never enter your seed on a website or share it with anyone.

5. Set Your PIN Code

You’ll choose a secure PIN that you’ll use every time you connect your Trezor. This protects your device if it’s lost or stolen.

After Setup: What You Can Do

Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite lets you:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrency
  • Track your balances
  • Manage multiple crypto accounts
  • Update firmware securely
    All with on‑device confirmation for safety.

Why Start at trezor.io/start?

✔ It ensures you download the official software
✔ It protects you from fake or phishing sites
✔ It leads you through the correct setup steps
✔ It keeps your crypto safe and under your control

🔐 Security Reminder

Never:

  • Enter your recovery seed online
  • Give your PIN to anyone
  • Use unofficial setup guides outside of trezor.io/start
