Welcome to Trezor.io/Start, the official starting point for initializing and setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’ve just purchased a Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this page guides you through installation, configuration, and security best practices so you can take complete control of your cryptocurrencies.
Trezor, created by SatoshiLabs, was the first hardware wallet in the world. Its mission is to give everyone the ability to hold crypto securely without relying on exchanges or third parties. The setup process at Trezor.io/Start ensures that your firmware and software come directly from the official source, guaranteeing authenticity and safety.
Begin by opening your browser and navigating to
https://trezor.io/start.
This is the only legitimate website for Trezor setup. Avoid unofficial pages or imitation links that could attempt to collect your recovery seed or personal information.
On arrival, you’ll see options for both Trezor One and Trezor Model T. Choose your model to access the corresponding setup instructions.
Unbox your new Trezor wallet and connect it to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
Once connected, the device display will activate and guide you to visit trezor.io/start if you have not done so already. Keep the device connected for the next steps.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your digital assets. It provides a clean, secure environment for sending, receiving, and tracking crypto holdings.
Download the app directly from the link on Trezor.io/Start. Versions are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
After installing, open the Trezor Suite App. It will automatically recognize your connected device and check for firmware updates. If prompted, install the update—this ensures your wallet runs the latest, verified version signed by SatoshiLabs.
After firmware installation, the Trezor Suite will ask whether you want to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
When creating a new wallet, your Trezor device will show your recovery words one by one. Write them down in the correct order on the supplied recovery card and store them offline in a secure place. Never photograph or upload this list—it’s the key to all your funds.
Once your wallet is ready, you’ll be prompted to create a PIN code. This PIN must be entered each time you plug in your device and protects it from unauthorized access.
For additional privacy, you can enable a passphrase—an optional feature that creates hidden wallets linked to your secret phrase. Each passphrase generates a different wallet, adding another layer of security for advanced users.
After setup, you’ll reach the Trezor Suite dashboard, the central hub for managing your crypto.
Here you can:
Every transaction must be verified on your Trezor’s screen before being broadcast, which ensures no malware can alter details or redirect funds.
Trezor Suite provides several advanced options to enhance safety:
Regularly updating both your firmware and Trezor Suite ensures that your device stays protected with the latest security enhancements.
Your recovery seed is the ultimate backup for your crypto. Store it in a safe, offline location, such as a fire-proof safe or metal backup plate.
Never share your seed, PIN, or passphrase with anyone—not even with Trezor Support. The company will never ask for these details. Losing or exposing your recovery seed can result in permanent loss of access to your assets.
If your device is ever lost or damaged, you can restore all your funds on a new Trezor using the same recovery words.
Should you encounter issues during setup or daily use, visit the Trezor Support Center.
You’ll find detailed troubleshooting guides, firmware FAQs, and official contact links.
The open-source Trezor Community Forum is also an excellent place to exchange tips and learn from experienced users.
