Welcome to Trezor.io/Start® – Your First Step to Securing Crypto
If you’ve just purchased your Trezor™ hardware wallet—congratulations! You’ve taken the most important step toward protecting your digital assets. At Trezor.io/Start®, we guide you through the simple and secure process of setting up your Trezor device, ensuring that your cryptocurrency stays safe from online threats.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to get started with your Trezor Model T or Trezor One, from initial setup to making your first transaction.
Before we dive into the setup, it’s worth understanding why Trezor™ is one of the most trusted names in crypto security:
Trezor wallets give you full ownership of your crypto assets with an easy-to-use interface and military-grade encryption.
Open a browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. This is the official starting point for setting up your device and ensuring that you’re using authentic software.
⚠️ Important: Always type the URL directly into your browser to avoid phishing websites. Never trust third-party links to the setup page.
On the Start page, you’ll see options for both the Trezor Model T and Trezor One. Click on the device you own to begin the guided setup.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and browser-based app that allows you to interact with your wallet securely.
After downloading, install the software and connect your Trezor device via USB.
When you plug in your Trezor for the first time, it may prompt you to install firmware. This is a crucial step to ensure your device is running the latest and safest version.
After installation, your device will reboot and prompt you to proceed with wallet creation or recovery.
If this is your first time using Trezor, choose Create a New Wallet.
Trezor Suite will generate a recovery seed phrase—a set of 12, 18, or 24 random words that serve as your backup. Write these words down on the recovery sheet provided in the box.
⚠️ Never store your seed phrase online. Do not take a screenshot or save it on your computer. This phrase gives full access to your funds.
Once your wallet is created, take these extra steps for maximum security:
Choose a PIN that only you know. If someone steals your device, they can’t access your wallet without the PIN.
Advanced users can add a passphrase for an additional layer of protection. This acts as a 25th word and makes your wallet even more secure.
Now that your wallet is secure, you can start receiving crypto:
Trezor supports thousands of coins and tokens, including:
You can manage all supported assets directly from Trezor Suite or via integrated third-party apps.
To send crypto from your Trezor:
All transactions must be physically confirmed on your device, ensuring no malicious software can send funds without your permission.
Always keep your device firmware and Trezor Suite updated. Updates contain critical security patches and new features.
If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover your wallet using the recovery seed on a new Trezor or compatible wallet. Keep your seed phrase safe!
Currently, Trezor Suite is available for desktop. However, mobile integration is being explored for future releases.
No—your crypto lives on the blockchain. Your Trezor stores private keys that allow you to access and sign transactions securely.
Your Trezor™ wallet is your key to safely managing your crypto. With the world of digital assets growing rapidly, taking custody of your funds is more important than ever. Thanks to its robust security, open-source technology, and intuitive interface, Trezor gives you peace of mind.
