Why Starting at Trezor.io/start Is Essential

Hardware wallets are only as secure as their setup process. Trezor.io/start exists to guarantee that your device is configured correctly from day one. It provides verified downloads, step-by-step instructions, and security checks that protect your private keys from online threats.

Step 1: Connect Your Trezor® Device

To begin, connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the original USB cable. Once connected, navigate directly to Trezor.io/start in your web browser. Your device will prompt you to begin the initialization process.

During this stage, the website checks whether your device is genuine and whether it already has firmware installed. If the device is new, you will be guided to install the latest official firmware securely.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application used to manage your crypto assets. From Trezor.io/start, you can download Trezor Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux, ensuring compatibility with your system.

Security Tip: Always download Trezor Suite only through Trezor.io/start. Avoid third-party websites or unofficial app stores to prevent malware and phishing risks.

Step 3: Create or Recover Your Wallet

After installing Trezor Suite, you will be prompted to either create a new wallet or recover an existing one. New users should choose “Create New Wallet” to generate fresh private keys directly on their Trezor device.

If you already have a recovery seed from a previous Trezor wallet, the recovery option allows you to restore full access securely. The entire process is completed offline on your hardware device, ensuring your private keys never touch the internet.

Step 4: Backup Your Recovery Seed

One of the most critical steps at Trezor.io/start is backing up your recovery seed. This seed is the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
