Trezor.io/start™ – Complete Setup Guide for Beginners®
Trezor® is one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the crypto world, designed to keep your digital assets safe from online threats. If you’ve just purchased a Trezor Model One® or Trezor Model T™, the official setup page trezor.io/start™ is where your journey begins. This guide walks you through the full setup process step by step, ensuring a smooth and secure start.
What You Need Before Starting™
Before visiting trezor.io/start®, make sure you have the following ready:
- A Trezor hardware wallet™ (Model One® or Model T™)
- A USB cable
- A computer or laptop with internet access
- A quiet, private place to record your recovery seed®
Avoid using public computers or shared networks during setup, as security is critical at this stage.
Step 1: Visit trezor.io/start™
Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start™. This is the official and safest place to begin. Select your device model, then follow the on-screen instructions. Trezor® will guide you to install Trezor Suite™, the official desktop or web application used to manage your wallet.
Step 2: Install Trezor Suite™
Download and install Trezor Suite® for your operating system (Windows®, macOS™, or Linux®). Once installed, open the app and connect your Trezor device™ using the USB cable.
If your device is new, you’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware®. Always confirm the firmware installation directly on your Trezor screen to ensure authenticity.
Step 3: Create a New Wallet®
After firmware installation, choose Create New Wallet™. Your Trezor® will generate a recovery seed® (usually 12 or 24 words). This seed is the most important part of your wallet security.
Important™:
- Write the recovery seed® on paper
- Never store it digitally
- Never share it with anyone
- Trezor® will never ask for it online
Confirm the words on your device to complete the process.
Step 4: Set a PIN™
Next, create a strong PIN™ directly on your Trezor device®. This PIN protects your wallet if the device is lost or stolen. Each time you connect your wallet, Trezor Suite™ will ask for this PIN.
Step 5: Start Managing Crypto®
Once setup is complete, you can start using Trezor Suite® to:
- Send and receive cryptocurrencies™
- Buy, sell, or exchange crypto®
- Track your portfolio securely
- Enable advanced features like passphrases™
Trezor® supports Bitcoin®, Ethereum™, and hundreds of other assets.
