✅ What is Trezor.io/start

Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for your Trezor hardware wallet. It guides you step-by-step to connect your device, install the Trezor Suite app, update firmware, and create or recover your wallet safely. Follow the instructions to securely manage your cryptocurrencies and protect your private keys offline.

Step 1: Visit trezor.io/start

• Open your browser and go to the official Trezor setup page.
• Ensure you’re on the correct URL to avoid phishing scams.

Step 2: Select Your Trezor Model

• Choose between:
  • Trezor One (older model)
  • Trezor Model T (touchscreen model)

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite (Desktop/Mobile App)

• Download Trezor Suite (the official app) from:
  • Trezor Suite Desktop
  • Mobile: Available on Google Play or Apple App Store.
• Avoid third-party wallet software for security.

Step 4: Connect Your Trezor Device

• Use the USB cable (for Trezor One/Model T) or Bluetooth (Model T only).
• Follow on-screen instructions.

Step 5: Initialize Your Device

• Choose:
  • "Create a new wallet" (if first-time setup)
  • "Recover wallet" (if restoring from backup).

Step 6: Install Firmware (If Required)

• Trezor Suite will check for firmware updates.
• Always install the latest firmware for security.

Step 7: Backup Your Recovery Seed (MOST CRITICAL STEP)

• Your Trezor will generate a 12/24-word recovery seed.
• Write it down manually on the provided card.
  • Never store it digitally (no photos, cloud, etc.).
  • Keep it offline and secure.
• Confirm the seed by re-entering it on the device.

Step 8: Set a PIN

• Choose a 4-9 digit PIN for device access.
• This prevents unauthorized physical access.

Step 9: Name Your Device (Optional)

• Assign a label (e.g., "My Crypto Wallet") for easy identification.

Step 10: Access Your Wallet

• You’ll now see your Trezor dashboard in Trezor Suite.
• Add accounts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) to manage coins.

Step 11: Transfer Crypto to Your Trezor

• Receive funds by:
  1. Selecting a coin (e.g., Bitcoin).
  2. Clicking "Receive" to get your wallet address.
  3. Sending crypto from an exchange or another wallet.

Security Tips After Setup

✅ Enable passphrase (for extra security). ✅ Verify receiving addresses on the Trezor screen. ❌ Never share your seed/PIN with anyone. ❌ Avoid fake Trezor websites (always check the URL).
