Trezor.io/Start®

Welcome to Your Trezor Journey

Congratulations on choosing Trezor® — the gold standard in hardware wallet security. Setting up your device via Trezor.io/Start is fast, secure, and ensures you're protected from phishing and third-party risks. This guide walks you through every key step using clear instructions, smart keyboard tips, and essential best practices.

What You'll Need

• Your Trezor hardware wallet (Model T or Model One)
• A computer with an internet connection
• A supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave)
• Trezor Suite desktop app or web version
• 15–30 minutes of uninterrupted time

Step 1: Connect Your Trezor

Use the original USB cable to connect your device. Once connected, your computer may prompt you to allow permissions.

Quick Tips

• On Windows: Win + R → type control printers to check USB status
• On macOS: Use Cmd + Space to launch Spotlight → search "USB Devices"

Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/Start

Navigate to trezor.io/start to begin. You will be redirected to the secure onboarding page where the Trezor Suite will guide you step by step.

Follow these steps:

• Select your device model
• Install Trezor Bridge if prompted
• Launch Trezor Suite from your browser or desktop

Step 3: Initialize the Device

Choose to create a new wallet. The device will generate a recovery seed phrase of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write this on your recovery sheet and keep it offline.

Smart Seed Handling

• Use Ctrl + P to disable printing — never print your seed!
• Store recovery sheet in a waterproof bag or steel backup
• Do NOT take photos or save digitally

Step 4: Set a PIN

You’ll be asked to choose a secure PIN. This is your first layer of defense if the device is ever lost or stolen.

Best Practices:

• Use 6+ digits
• Avoid simple patterns like 1234 or 0000
• Don't reuse your phone/device PIN

Step 5: Access Your Dashboard

Once initialized, you'll be redirected to your portfolio dashboard in Trezor Suite. Here, you can send, receive, buy, and manage coins securely.

Quick Commands

• Ctrl + Shift + R — Refresh the app
• Tab through tabs in Suite
• Esc to close modals

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Device not detected?

Restart your browser or install Trezor Bridge. If using Linux, add udev rules.

Error: "Firmware not installed"

Follow the on-screen prompts to install the latest firmware. Do NOT disconnect during this process.

Security Reminders

• Always access via https://trezor.io
• Bookmark the official site — avoid search engine links
• Never share your seed phrase with anyone
• Use a passphrase for extra protection (advanced users)
