When you access Trézor.io/Start, you are directed to download the official Trezor Suite application, which is the primary interface used to manage cryptocurrencies on your Trezor device.

Why Use Trézor.io/Start for Setup?

Security begins at initialization. By using Trézor.io/Start, you ensure:

  1. Authentic Firmware Installation

The official Trézor.io/Start page verifies whether your Trezor device has genuine firmware. If no firmware is installed, it will prompt secure installation.

  1. Verified Software Download

Through Trézor.io/Start, you download Trezor Suite directly from the official source. This prevents malware or tampered software from compromising your device.

  1. Safe Recovery Seed Creation

When using Trézor.io/Start, your recovery seed is generated offline on the device itself — never online.

  1. Step-by-Step Guided Protection

Even beginners can follow the guided instructions at Trézor.io/Start without technical confusion.

How to Set Up Your Device Using Trézor.io/Start

Follow these secure steps carefully:

Step 1: Unbox and Inspect

After purchasing your Trezor wallet, check the packaging seal. Ensure it has not been tampered with. Inside the box, you should find:

Trezor device

USB cable

Recovery seed cards

Instruction manual

Then visit Trézor.io/Start on your desktop browser.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided USB cable. Once connected, open Trézor.io/Start and select your device model.

The site will detect whether you are using Trezor Model T or Trezor Model One.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

From Trézor.io/Start, download and install Trezor Suite. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Trezor Suite allows you to:

Manage cryptocurrencies

Send and receive digital assets

Track portfolio balance

Update firmware

Enable security features

Step 4: Install Firmware

If your device is new, it may not have firmware installed. Through Trézor.io/Start, Trezor Suite will guide you to install official firmware securely.

The firmware installation ensures your device is authentic and not pre-configured by a malicious party.

Step 5: Create a New Wallet

After firmware installation, Trézor.io/Start will guide you to create a new wallet.

Your device will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed phrase. This phrase:

Is displayed only on the device screen

Must be written down offline

Should never be photographed or stored digitally

Your recovery seed is the master key to your crypto assets.

Step 6: Confirm Recovery Seed

Trézor.io/Start requires you to confirm selected words from your recovery seed to ensure you wrote it correctly. This step prevents backup mistakes.

Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Trezor support will never ask for it.

Step 7: Set Up a PIN

Using Trézor.io/Start, you will configure a secure PIN directly on your device. The PIN protects your wallet if someone physically accesses your hardware wallet.
