🔐 What is trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for all Trezor hardware wallets (like Trezor Model T and Trezor Model One). It provides the tools and instructions to initialize your device, install the Trezor Suite app, and secure your crypto assets.

🧭 Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Visit the Setup Page

2. Download Trezor Suite

  • Click the download link for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  • Install and launch the Trezor Suite application.

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the USB cable.
  • Follow the prompts in Trezor Suite to begin the setup.

4. Install Firmware (If Needed)

  • If your Trezor is new, it may not have firmware installed.
  • Click "Install Firmware" in the Trezor Suite and wait for it to complete.

5. Create a New Wallet

  • Select "Create New Wallet".
  • Confirm the action on your Trezor device screen.

6. Backup Your Recovery Seed

  • The device will show a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.
  • Write it down on paper and store it safely (not on a computer or online).
  • Confirm you've backed it up by re-entering or acknowledging it.

7. Set a PIN Code

  • Set up a PIN for your device to protect it from unauthorized access.
  • You’ll enter this PIN each time you connect the device.

8. Access Your Wallet

  • Once setup is complete, your Trezor is ready to use.
  • Use Trezor Suite to send/receive crypto, view balances, or manage tokens securely.

✅ Important Security Tips

  • Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
  • Only use trezor.io/start for setup—beware of phishing websites.
  • Always verify addresses and transactions on the Trezor screen.
