trezor.io/start — Get your Trezor ready

Straightforward setup steps and safety checks for anyone using trezor.io/start to initialize a Trezor hardware wallet.

Quick start (using trezor.io/start)

  1. Visit trezor.io/start from a trusted browser — this page guides you to the correct download for your platform.
  2. Download the recommended app (Trezor Suite) or Bridge if prompted — only use official links displayed on that page.
  3. Connect your Trezor device via USB and follow the on-screen prompts to install firmware if needed.
  4. Create a new wallet: follow the on-screen steps to set a PIN and write down your recovery seed safely on paper.
  5. Verify the recovery on the device when instructed — never type the full seed into a computer.
  6. Finish by exploring the wallet UI, adding accounts, and making a small test transaction to confirm setup.

Note: trezor.io/start is a starting hub — it points you to official downloads and setup instructions. Always verify the domain and SSL lock in your browser.

Safety checklist

  • Only use official sites (check the URL and security certificate).
  • Never share your recovery seed or enter it into websites.
  • Keep firmware and desktop apps updated through official sources.

Quick reminder

Tip: Store your recovery seed offline in a secure place — two backups is a good start.

Troubleshooting & tips

  1. If the page doesn't detect your device, try reconnecting the cable or using a different USB port.
  2. On some systems, you may need to allow a small helper app (Bridge) to run — follow instructions on trezor.io/start.
  3. If in doubt, contact official support channels; don't follow random forum instructions when a recovery seed is involved.
