✅ What is trezor.io/start?

trezor.io/start is the official onboarding page for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet — a secure device for storing your cryptocurrencies offline (cold storage).
It guides you step-by-step to initialize your Trezor, install its management software (Trezor Suite), and safely back up your recovery seed.

Purpose:

  • Ensure you only use the official tools (avoiding fake websites).
  • Help beginners securely set up their Trezor device.
  • Provide downloads for Trezor Suite (desktop or browser extension).
  • Offer safety tips during the setup.

🛡️ Why use trezor.io/start?

Because Trezor is all about security, you must:

  • Download the official Trezor Suite (not from random sites).
  • Verify your device’s authenticity.
  • Create and back up your recovery seed securely — this is the only way to recover your crypto if the device is lost or broken.

⚙️ What happens when you visit trezor.io/start?

Here’s the basic process you’ll follow:

1️⃣ Connect your Trezor device

  • Plug in your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T via USB.

2️⃣ Install Trezor Suite

  • Download Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux).
  • Or use the web version with the Trezor Bridge installed.

3️⃣ Initialize your Trezor

  • If it’s brand new, you’ll create a new wallet.
  • The device generates your 12/24-word recovery seed — write this down offline on the provided recovery card. Never store it digitally.

4️⃣ Set up security features

  • Set a PIN code on the device to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Optionally, enable passphrase protection for extra security.

5️⃣ Verify and finish

  • The Trezor Suite will confirm your setup.
