Understanding Trezor.io/Start®

What Is Trezor.io/Start®?

Trezor.io/Start® is not just a setup guide — it’s an interactive platform where safety meets simplicity. It ensures your Trezor device, whether Model One or Model T, is configured properly with verified software before storing or transferring any digital assets.

Why It’s Important

Using Trezor.io/start guarantees that you are communicating with the legitimate Trezor environment. Fake websites and imitation devices have become more common, and this official setup portal prevents unauthorized access to your cryptocurrency.

Security Reminder: Never use third-party links or software claiming to set up Trezor. The only authentic site is https://trezor.io/start.

Step-by-Step: Starting Your Trezor Device

Step 1 — Connect to Your Computer

Use the original USB cable included with your Trezor device. Connect it to a trusted computer. The screen will prompt you to visit Trezor.io/Start®. From there, you’ll be guided to install Trezor Suite, the control center for managing your assets.

Step 2 — Download and Install Trezor Suite

The official Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It’s an intuitive platform where you can view balances, send transactions, and monitor your portfolio — all while maintaining offline security.

Step 3 — Firmware Verification

Your device will check if the firmware is authentic and up to date. Always install updates directly from the suite, ensuring no modifications from third-party software.

Step 4 — Create or Recover a Wallet

You can either create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your seed phrase. During setup, your Trezor device will generate a unique recovery seed — a set of 12 to 24 words that must be written down and stored securely offline.

Advanced® Security and Features

PIN Code & Encryption

A personal identification number (PIN) is your first layer of security. Each time you access your wallet, your device will request this PIN. Enter it using the randomized grid on the device screen, making it resistant to keylogging attacks.

Passphrase: The Hidden Vault

Advanced users can activate the passphrase feature. This creates a hidden wallet only accessible with your secret phrase. Even if your recovery seed is compromised, your assets in the hidden wallet remain untouched.
