Why Begin at Trezor.io/start?

What You’ll Need Before You Begin

  • A Trezor hardware wallet — either Model T or Trezor One
  • A computer with USB connection and internet access
  • The USB cable included with the device
  • Pen and paper for recording your recovery seed

Step 1: Navigate to Trezor.io/start

Open your browser and type https://trezor.io/start directly—do not click through email links or search results. This ensures you're accessing the legitimate setup portal. trezor.io/startfaq-start-tzor-en.teachable.com

Step 2: Download and Install Trezor Suite

You’ll be offered two options:
  • Download the Desktop App (recommended for maximum security and full features)
Choose the version that matches your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and follow the installation prompts. public-tzor-start-en.teachable.comtrezor.io/start

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. The device will guide you visually through what's next. trezoiostart.m-pages.comtrezor.io/start

Step 4: Install Firmware (if prompted)

If it’s your first time or an update exists, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware. Follow the on-screen instructions and confirm each step directly on your device. This step is vital for security. trezor.io/starttrezoiostart.m-pages.com

Step 5: Create or Recover Your Wallet

Trezor.io/start gives you two choices:
  • Create a new wallet — your device will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed
Important: Write your recovery seed on the provided card—never store it digitally or share it. trezor.io/startfaq-start-tzor-en.teachable.com

Step 6: Set Your PIN

Set a secure PIN (up to 9 digits on Trezor One, more on Model T). You’ll enter this directly on the device each time you connect to Trezor Suite. It guards against unauthorized access. trezor.io/startstart-io-faq-trezor-auth.typedream.app

Step 7: Optional Security Enhancements

  • Name your device (e.g., “My Trezor”)
  • Enable custom passphrases for hidden wallets

Step 8: You're Ready to Go

Once setup is complete, your Trezor Suite dashboard lets you:
  • Send and receive cryptocurrencies with transaction confirmations done on your hardware device
  • View balances and portfolio tracking

Helpful Security Reminders (Don’t Skip These!)

  • Never share your recovery seed or PIN—if someone asks, it's likely a scam. Reddit
  • Your private keys never leave the device—even third-party apps can’t access them directly. Reddit
