Trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for all Trezor hardware wallets, including the Trezor Model T and Trezor One. Created by SatoshiLabs, this page is designed to guide users through the initial setup of their crypto wallet in a secure, step-by-step manner. It ensures that users configure their device properly, install the correct software, and learn essential safety practices before handling digital assets.

What Is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the starting point for all new Trezor users. It provides a safe path to:

  • Verify that your Trezor device is genuine
  • Install the official Trezor Suite software
  • Generate and back up your recovery seed
  • Set a secure PIN code
  • Prepare the device for long-term crypto management

By using this official page, you reduce the risk of interacting with counterfeit devices or falling victim to phishing attacks.

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

  1. Visit the Official Page
     Go directly to in your browser. Do not click on third-party links or advertisements.
  2. Select Your Device
     Choose either Trezor Model T or Trezor One to receive the correct instructions based on your hardware.
  3. Download Trezor Suite
     Trezor Suite is the official desktop application used to manage your wallet. Download it for Windows, macOS, or Linux. There is also a web version for browser use.
  4. Connect Your Trezor
     Plug in your Trezor device using the included USB cable. Trezor Suite will automatically detect the device and prompt you to proceed.
  5. Install Firmware (If Needed)
     If your Trezor does not already have firmware, Trezor Suite will walk you through the process of installing the latest secure version.
  6. Create a New Wallet
     Select “Create new wallet” in Trezor Suite. The device will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.
  7. Write Down Your Recovery Seed
     This is the most important step. Write your recovery seed down on the provided sheet. Never store it digitally or share it. This seed is the only backup to your wallet.
  8. Verify the Seed
     You will be asked to confirm some of the words to ensure that you wrote them down correctly and in the right order.
  9. Set a PIN Code
     Choose a secure PIN directly on the device. This will be required each time the device is used.
  10. Start Managing Crypto
     After setup, you can add crypto accounts in Trezor Suite, send and receive assets, and begin managing your portfolio securely.

Security Best Practices

  • Only use official resources. Always go to for setup.
  • Do not enter your seed online. It should never be typed, shared, or photographed.
  • Enable passphrase protection for additional security. Each passphrase generates a hidden wallet.
  • Check transaction details on the device before confirming anything.
  • Store your recovery seed securely in a private, offline location.
