Introducing Trezor.io/start
When you pick up a hardware wallet from Trezor, the first step you’ll see is going to Trezor.io/start. This web page is your official gateway to launching the device setup and downloading the companion software called Trezor Suite.
Why this onboarding matters
Using Trezor.io/start ensures you’re working from the authentic source—avoiding fake apps or malicious downloads. On this page, you’ll find the correct software, the firmware update, and clear steps to get your hardware wallet ready.
Step-by-step: Setting up your Trezor device
Visit Trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) or use the browser/web version.
Connect your Trezor device via USB (or Bluetooth if your model supports it).
Install the latest firmware when prompted—this ensures your device has the most secure software.
Decide whether to Create a new wallet or Recover an existing wallet using a recovery seed/backup phrase.
Write down your backup/recovery phrase securely (offline, and don’t take digital photos).
Set a PIN and optionally enable a passphrase, so your device is protected from unauthorized access.
Managing your cryptocurrencies securely
Once setup is complete via Trezor Suite, you can enable supported coins and tokens, track your portfolio, send and receive crypto—all while keeping your private keys offline and safe. Using the hardware wallet means you hold the keys, not an exchange or third party.
Best practices for safety
Always verify you are on the official Trezor website and not a phishing variant.
Never store your recovery seed online or in a cloud service; keep it offline and hidden.
Regularly update firmware when prompted; updates patch security vulnerabilities.
Treat your hardware wallet like a physical safe: if it’s lost, stolen or damaged, you still need the backup to recover funds.
