Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — the official onboarding destination for all Trezor hardware wallet users. Whether you're unboxing your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T for the first time, this guide ensures your setup is smooth, secure, and simple. By following these verified steps, you’ll connect your device, download Trezor Suite, and back up your recovery phrase — protecting your crypto from unauthorized access.
Start by going to the official page: Open Trezor.io/Start. Avoid using third-party websites or links shared on social media. Trezor.io/Start is hosted and maintained by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor hardware wallets.
Plug in your Trezor via USB. The browser or Trezor Suite will automatically detect your model and prompt you to continue. If your device has outdated firmware, you’ll be asked to update it before setup continues. Always confirm actions directly on your device’s screen to ensure you’re interacting with genuine firmware.
Trezor Suite is the companion software for managing your cryptocurrencies. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download it exclusively through the Trezor.io/Start link to avoid phishing risks. Once installed, Trezor Suite lets you send and receive coins, track your portfolio, and manage multiple crypto accounts securely.
When prompted, create a new wallet. You’ll generate a unique recovery seed — a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase that acts as your ultimate backup. Write these words down carefully on the provided recovery card and store them offline, away from cameras and cloud storage. This seed gives full access to your crypto; never share or photograph it.
Consider using a fireproof metal backup plate for extra durability. Trezor Suite also provides guidance on using passphrases for advanced users. Remember: Your recovery seed = your crypto. Losing it or revealing it means losing control of your assets.
After setup, you can start managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies. Trezor Suite also offers features like coin swaps, portfolio tracking, and fiat value conversion — all while keeping your private keys safely offline on your Trezor device.
The Trezor.io/Start page also links to verified support resources, user guides, and video walkthroughs. If you ever have questions or suspect a fake site, contact Trezor Support through official channels only — never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
