Introduction to Trezor.io/Start

Trezor.io/Start is the official setup page for all Trezor hardware wallets, like the Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T. A hardware wallet keeps your crypto safe by storing your private keys offline, away from hackers. Setting it up properly is essential to keep your funds secure.

What You Need Before You Start

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Never use a pre-setup device. Always initialize it yourself.

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

Visit Trezor.io/Start in your browser. This page will guide you through selecting your device model and downloading the official Trezor Suite app.

Step 2: Download and Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official app to manage your crypto. Download the version for Windows, Mac, or Linux. Follow the installation instructions and open the app.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug in your Trezor using the USB cable. The Trezor Suite will detect your device and prompt you to install the latest firmware. This ensures your device is secure and up to date.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

When prompted, choose Create New Wallet. You’ll be shown your recovery seed — a series of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write this down on the provided recovery card and store it in a safe place offline. Never take a digital photo of it.

Step 5: Confirm Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor will ask you to confirm your seed phrase by selecting words in the correct order. This step makes sure you wrote it down correctly. Your recovery seed is the only way to recover your crypto if you lose your device.

Step 6: Set a PIN

Next, set a strong PIN code for your Trezor. This adds an extra layer of security if someone gets physical access to your device.

Final Checks and Tips

Your wallet is now ready! You can use Trezor Suite to receive, send, and manage your crypto assets securely. Always double-check addresses when sending funds and keep your recovery seed safe and offline.
