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.

Security Tips from Trezor®

✔ Always use trezor.io/start™ for setup
✔ Keep your recovery seed® offline

Final Thoughts™

Setting up your wallet through trezor.io/start™ ensures maximum security and peace of mind®. With Trezor® hardware wallets, you stay in full control of your private keys™—not exchanges or third parties. Follow the steps carefully, and you’ll be ready to manage your crypto safely and confidently®.
