Welcome to Trezor.io/start — the official setup page for your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’ve purchased a Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, this guide will help you securely set up your device and take full control of your cryptocurrency.

Why Choose Trezor?

Trezor is a trusted hardware wallet designed to keep your digital assets safe from online threats. By storing your private keys offline, Trezor ensures that hackers, malware, and phishing attacks can’t access your funds.

With Trezor, you can:

  • Securely store cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many more
  • Send and receive digital assets safely
  • Manage multiple accounts in one place
  • Protect your investments with industry-leading security

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Follow these simple steps to get started:

1. Unbox and Inspect Your Device

Make sure your Trezor package is sealed and untampered. Inside the box, you should find:

  • Your Trezor device
  • USB cable
  • Recovery seed cards
  • Quick start instructions

If anything looks suspicious, contact Trezor support before proceeding.

2. Visit the Official Setup Page

Open your browser and go to Trezor.io/start. Always verify the website URL carefully to avoid phishing sites.

3. Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your crypto assets. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and also as a web version.

Trezor Suite allows you to:

  • Manage wallets and transactions
  • Update device firmware
  • Customize security settings
  • Monitor your portfolio

4. Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor into your computer using the USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite.

If prompted, install the latest firmware. Always install firmware directly through the official Trezor interface.

5. Create a New Wallet

Once firmware is installed, choose “Create new wallet.” Your device will generate a unique recovery seed phrase (usually 12 or 24 words).

⚠️ Important:

  • Write down your recovery seed on the provided card.
  • Never take a photo of it.
  • Never store it online.
  • Never share it with anyone.

This seed phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

6. Set Your PIN

Create a strong PIN directly on your Trezor device. This adds an extra layer of protection in case someone gains physical access to your wallet.

Security Tips

  • Always access your wallet through Trezor.io/start
  • Keep your recovery seed offline and private
  • Never enter your seed phrase on any website
  • Enable passphrase protection for advanced security
  • Keep your firmware updated
