Trezor.io/Start® | Begin Your Crypto Device®

Welcome to the Future of Crypto Security

Congratulations! You've taken the first step to owning your crypto securely by choosing a Trezor hardware wallet. This page will guide you through the essential setup process using Trezor.io/Start®, your official starting point.

Whether you're using the Trezor Model One or the Model T, your journey begins here. No prior experience needed — just follow this walkthrough and you’ll be ready to send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more.

What You'll Need

Your new Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
Computer with internet access
Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser
Trezor Suite (Desktop App or Web Version)

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start

Go to https://trezor.io/start to begin the official setup. You’ll be redirected to the onboarding interface.

✅ Always ensure the URL has the green padlock and reads https://trezor.io — beware of phishing!

Step 2: Connect and Recognize

Use the original USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. If prompted by the browser, grant permission for device communication.

Windows: Press Win + R → Type device manager to confirm USB detection
macOS: Use Cmd + Space → Search "System Information" → Check under USB

Step 3: Install Trezor Bridge

If prompted, install Trezor Bridge — the secure communication layer between your device and your browser.

Step 4: Initialize the Device

Choose "Create New Wallet" to begin fresh. Your Trezor will now generate a unique recovery seed phrase (12–24 words).

✍️ Write your recovery phrase down — never save it digitally or take a photo.

Smart Tips:

Ctrl + P — Disable print dialogs (never print your seed!)
Use a fireproof storage or metal backup (e.g., Cryptosteel)

Step 5: Choose a Secure PIN

You’ll be prompted to set a PIN — this ensures only you can access the wallet on-device.

Use at least 6 digits
Avoid patterns (e.g., 123456, 000000)
Don’t share or reuse PINs from other devices

Step 6: Launch Trezor Suite

Open Trezor Suite — the dashboard for all your crypto management. You'll be able to:

View balances in real-time
Send and receive crypto securely
Buy, exchange, and track assets

Keyboard Navigation

Ctrl + Shift + R — Hard refresh the Suite
Tab — Navigate through tabs and menus
Esc — Close popups and modals

Extra Security: Use a Passphrase

Advanced users can enable passphrase encryption — an additional word or phrase that acts as a 25th seed word.

⚠️ Warning: If you forget the passphrase, your funds are lost forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reset the device if I lose the PIN?

Yes, but only after wiping it — and only if you have your recovery seed phrase.

Can I import an old wallet?

Yes, select "Recover Wallet" during setup and enter your seed phrase securely.

Do I need to update firmware?

Yes. Trezor Suite will automatically notify you of firmware updates. Always keep your firmware up to date to stay secure.
