Trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for Trezor® hardware wallets. This dedicated webpage guides you through the entire process of unboxing, connecting, and configuring your new Trezor® device to ensure maximum security for your cryptocurrencies.
The portal automatically detects whether you have a Trezor One or Trezor Model T and provides model-specific instructions. It's designed to make the setup process straightforward, even for those new to cryptocurrency hardware wallets.
Connect your Trezor® device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The trezor.io/start page will automatically detect your device model and provide appropriate guidance.
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor® device to talk to web browsers. The setup portal will guide you through the Trezor Bridge download and installation process. After installation, the Trezor Bridge login process happens automatically in the background.
Your Trezor® will prompt you to install the latest firmware, which includes important security updates and features. This ensures your device is protected against known vulnerabilities.
You'll create a device name, set up a PIN (entered directly on the device for security), and generate your recovery seed phrase—the most critical security element of your wallet.
Security First: Your recovery seed is the key to your cryptocurrency. Never digitize it (no photos, cloud storage, or typing it). Write it on the provided card and store it in multiple secure physical locations.
After initial setup, you'll need to download the Trezor Suite application for ongoing management of your assets. The trezor suite download is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
Trezor Suite provides a secure environment to:
For mobile users, the trezor suite app is available on both iOS and Android platforms, allowing you to manage your crypto on the go while maintaining security.

This process ensures that your private keys never leave the device, providing protection against malware and keyloggers that might be on your computer.
Do I need to go to trezor.io/start every time I use my device?
No, trezor.io/start is only for the initial setup process. After setup, you'll use Trezor Suite or the web wallet for regular access to your device.
What if I can't install Trezor Bridge on my computer?
If you can't install Trezor Bridge (on some work computers, for example), you can use the web-based version of Trezor Suite which doesn't require installation.
Is it safe to use the web version of Trezor Suite?
Yes, the web version at suite.trezor.io/web/ is secure as your private keys never leave your Trezor® device. However, the desktop app provides additional security features.
Can I set up my Trezor® without going to trezor.io/start?
While it's technically possible, it's not recommended. The official setup portal ensures you have the latest firmware and security guidelines specific to your device model.
What should I do if I lose my recovery seed?
Without your recovery seed, you cannot recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged. If you've lost your seed, transfer your funds to a new wallet immediately and reset your device with a new seed.
Can I use trezor.io/start on mobile devices?
Yes, the setup process works on mobile devices, though you may need an OTG adapter to connect your Trezor® to your phone or tablet.
