Trezor.io/Start® is the official starting point for setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you're using the Trezor Model One or Model T, this step-by-step guide ensures a secure and smooth setup experience. With your device properly configured, you’ll be able to store and manage your cryptocurrency safely, knowing your private keys are offline and under your control.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Then open your browser and go to Trezor.io/Start®. This official site will guide you through downloading and installing Trezor Suite, the secure app used to manage your crypto wallet.
Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download the version for your operating system and complete the installation. Once installed, open the application. It will automatically recognize your connected device and prompt you to continue with the setup.
If this is your first time using the device, it may not have firmware installed. Trezor Suite will detect this and offer to install the latest version. Follow the instructions carefully and do not disconnect the device during this process. Firmware installation ensures your device has the latest security features.
After firmware installation, choose “Create a new wallet.” This will generate a unique recovery seed, which acts as the master key to your wallet. This seed will be shown on your device screen, one word at a time.
As each word appears, carefully write it down in the exact order. This seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Do not store it digitally or share it with anyone. Keep it offline and secure in a private location.
Once you’ve written down your seed phrase, the device will ask you to confirm it by selecting the words in the correct order. This step ensures you’ve backed it up properly. Losing access to this seed means losing access to your cryptocurrency permanently.
Next, you will be asked to create a PIN. This PIN protects your device in case it falls into the wrong hands. For Trezor Model T users, the PIN is entered directly on the device touchscreen. For Model One, input is done via your computer and confirmed on the device screen.
After completing setup, you can now use Trezor Suite to manage your crypto assets. The dashboard lets you send and receive coins, track balances, and use advanced features like labeling addresses or setting custom fees. All transaction confirmations are done on your physical device for added security.
Trezor devices offer a secure way to store cryptocurrency by keeping private keys offline. This makes them immune to most online threats like phishing, malware, or browser attacks. Every transaction must be manually confirmed on the device screen, giving you complete control and peace of mind.
Setting up your device through Trezor.io/Start® ensures that your wallet is configured securely and correctly. The process is simple, transparent, and designed to give you full ownership of your digital assets. Once complete, your funds are protected by industry-leading security backed by proven hardware.
With your Trezor® wallet fully initialized, you’re now ready to explore the world of crypto with confidence. Always keep your recovery seed safe, use a strong PIN, and stay vigilant — your security begins with how you manage your device.
