What Is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is the official onboarding page for:

  • Trezor Model One
  • Trezor Model T
  • Trezor Safe 3

This page helps you download Trezor Suite, update firmware, create or recover your wallet, and learn essential safety practices. It ensures every new device is set up in a secure and trusted environment.


How to Start Up Your Trezor Device

1. Visit Trezor.io/Start

Go to the official setup page in your browser.
This page automatically detects your device version and guides you through the correct setup steps.


2. Download & Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the main app for managing crypto on your device.
Download it for your operating system:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

Open Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen instructions.


3. Connect Your Trezor Device

Use the included USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer.
Trezor Suite will detect your device and check whether it needs a firmware update.

If prompted, update firmware by confirming the action directly on your Trezor screen.


4. Create a New Wallet

If this is your first time setting up:

  1. Choose “Create new wallet.”
  2. Follow the guided steps on Trezor Suite.
  3. Generate your recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 words depending on the model).
  4. Write it down on the card provided in your Trezor box.
  5. Confirm the words in the correct order on your device.

Important:
Never store your recovery seed online or on any digital device.
Never share it with anyone—Trezor will never ask for it.


5. Recover an Existing Wallet

If you already have a recovery seed:

  • Select “Recover wallet”
  • Enter your recovery words on your Trezor device (not on the computer)
  • Trezor Suite will rebuild your accounts automatically

This ensures your seed never touches an online environment.


6. Set Up Security Features

Inside Trezor Suite you can:

  • Create a strong PIN
  • Enable passphrase protection
  • Verify your device authenticity
  • Customize your settings

These steps strengthen your overall security.


7. Add Accounts & Manage Crypto

  • Add Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of supported assets

Your private keys always stay inside the Trezor hardware chip.
