Trezor.io/Start - Complete Setup Guide

Trezor.io/start is your official gateway to securing your cryptocurrency with a Trezor hardware wallet. Follow this comprehensive guide to set up your device safely and securely.

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start

Go to Trezor.io/start in your web browser. This official portal ensures you're connecting to the genuine Trezor setup page, protecting you from phishing attempts and malicious websites.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

On the Trezor.io/start page, you'll find the download link for Trezor Suite. This is the official software that manages your Trezor hardware wallet. Download the version compatible with your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts. The installation process is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. Once installed, launch Trezor Suite.

Step 4: Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug your Trezor hardware wallet into your computer using the USB cable. Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and display setup instructions.

Step 5: Initialize Your Wallet

Click "Initialize device" in Trezor Suite. Choose whether you're setting up a new wallet or recovering an existing one. For new users, select "Create new wallet."

Step 6: Create Your PIN

Set a secure PIN code (4-50 digits). Your PIN protects your device if it's ever lost or stolen. Choose something memorable but difficult for others to guess.

Step 7: Backup Your Recovery Seed

Trezor Suite will generate a 12 or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words down on the backup card provided and store it in a safe place—never store it digitally or online.

Step 8: Verify Your Recovery Seed

Trezor Suite will ask you to confirm your recovery seed by selecting the correct words in order. This verification ensures you've written it down correctly.

Step 9: Complete Setup

Once verified, your wallet is ready to use. Trezor Suite will display your wallet dashboard where you can send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrency assets.

Post-Setup: Keep Your Trezor Secure

  • Store your recovery seed in a safe, offline location
  • Keep your Trezor firmware updated
  • Never share your PIN or recovery seed with anyone
  • Only use official Trezor.io/start for setup
