Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®
Trezor.io/Start® is the official setup and onboarding guide for all Trezor hardware wallets, including the Trezor Model T and Trezor One. By following these verified steps, you ensure your device and funds remain secure from setup to daily use.
1. Verify Your Trezor Device and Packaging
Before connecting your Trezor, verify that the device is genuine and the packaging seal is intact. Trezor wallets are shipped by SatoshiLabs® with tamper-evident seals to protect users from counterfeit devices.
- Inspect the holographic seal on the box.
- Do not use a device with a broken or missing seal.
- Ensure accessories and documentation are present.
2. Access the Official Start Page
Visit https://trezor.io/start to begin the setup. Only use the official Trezor website — never third-party URLs or unofficial software sources. This guarantees the authenticity of your wallet setup.
3. Download Trezor Suite®
Trezor Suite® is the all-in-one platform for managing your crypto portfolio securely. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it allows you to check balances, send and receive crypto, and stay updated safely.
- Download from the official Suite page.
- Install and launch the app on your computer.
- Connect your Trezor device using the included USB cable.
4. Initialize or Recover Your Wallet
Upon connection, follow the prompts on Trezor Suite to either set up a new wallet or recover an existing one:
- Create a New Wallet: Generate a recovery seed (12–24 words) and write it down securely.
- Recover a Wallet: Enter your existing recovery seed directly into the Trezor device (never type it on a keyboard).
- Set a PIN to prevent unauthorized access.
5. Keep Your Wallet Secure
- Never share your recovery seed. Trezor will never request it.
- Verify website addresses and email senders before clicking links.
- Always confirm transactions directly on the Trezor screen.
- Keep firmware and Suite updated for maximum protection.
6. Manage Crypto with Confidence
Once initialized, Trezor Suite provides tools to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported assets. You can exchange tokens, view portfolio performance, and interact with decentralized applications — all while keeping private keys offline.
7. Backup and Recovery Safety
Your recovery seed is the master key to your funds. Store it in a secure, offline location. Consider a durable backup option like a metal seed plate to protect against fire or water damage. Losing your seed means losing access — always keep it safe and private.
8. Get Support When Needed
For help, visit the Trezor Support Center for verified assistance, video tutorials, and security alerts. The Trezor Learn Hub also offers guides to strengthen your crypto knowledge.
Conclusion
Starting your device at Trezor.io/Start® ensures a safe, authentic setup directly from the source. With Trezor Suite®, your hardware wallet becomes your gateway to a secure crypto experience — fully under your control, protected by world-class security standards.
