Trezor.io/start – Official Start Page for Trezor Users

A colorful, step-by-step presentation-style guide to get started with your Trezor hardware wallet.

Overview — What is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the official onboarding web page provided by Trezor where new users begin the secure setup process for Trezor hardware wallets. It guides you through downloading the official Trezor Suite application (or continuing in the web app), connecting and initializing your device, installing firmware if necessary, and creating or recovering a wallet in the safest possible way.

Why use Trezor.io/start?

This page is the recommended starting point because it reduces risk from phishing and fake setup guides. Always start at trezor.io/start to ensure you download the correct software and follow the manufacturer-recommended flow — never trust a random link or an unsolicited guide.

Key outcomes from following the official start flow:

Get Started — Step-by-step onboarding (simplified)

Step 1 — Prepare

Before starting, unbox your Trezor hardware wallet and ensure the packaging looks correct. Find the original USB cable and the paper recovery card (if included). Choose a private, distraction-free workspace and a secure pen for writing down your recovery seed if your device uses a written backup.

Step 2 — Visit the official page

Open a secure browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. The official site detects your device model and starts the recommended flow. If in doubt, type the URL manually rather than clicking a link from an email or chat.

Step 3 — Download and/or continue in browser

You can download Trezor Suite (recommended for desktop) or continue in the browser/web app. Download the app for the best experience on desktop; the web app is convenient and works across operating systems.

Step 4 — Connect your device

Connect the Trezor device using the supplied cable. The website/app will detect the device and guide you through any necessary firmware updates. Always allow firmware installation only when initiated from the official flow.

Step 5 — Initialize, create or recover

Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet (generate a fresh seed) or recover an existing wallet from your recovery phrase. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone and never type it into online forms.

Step 6 — Backup your recovery seed

Write your recovery seed on the supplied recovery card (or other offline medium) and store it securely offline (e.g., a safe, bank deposit box). Consider splitting the seed across multiple secure locations if you require redundancy.

Step 7 — Finish and verify

Complete the setup and verify that Trezor Suite shows your device and addresses correctly. Send a small test transaction to and from your wallet before moving larger amounts.

Security Best Practices (must-read)

Never reveal your recovery seed

Your recovery seed (seed phrase) is the single most important secret protecting your crypto. Never enter it into a website, cloud app, or photo. Trezor devices generate seeds offline; store them offline.

Use official downloads only

Always download Trezor Suite and firmware from trezor.io. Phishing sites mimic Trezor branding — if anything looks off, close the page and manually type the official URL.

Keep firmware up to date

Firmware updates often include security improvements. Only install firmware when prompted from the official Trezor flow and when you initiated the process.

Physical security

Keep your hardware wallet in a known secure place and protect the recovery card(s). If the device is lost or stolen but your seed remains secret, your funds remain safe — the seed is the true key.

Two-step checks for larger transactions

For very large transactions, consider splitting approvals: verify transaction details on a separate offline display, use travel addresses and confirm via a second device or co-signer if using multisig.

Trezor Suite — What it does and highlights

Manage assets

Trezor Suite is the official application for managing crypto on your Trezor device. It provides portfolio tracking, send/receive, transaction history, and addresses management in a local-first app (desktop or web app).

Exchange, stake and swap

The Suite can integrate with third-party liquidity/exchange partners to let you buy, swap or stake certain assets while keeping private keys on-device. Always review details and costs before swapping or staking.

Privacy and address management

Use Trezor Suite’s tools to manage addresses per-transaction to improve privacy. Review incoming/outgoing transactions before broadcasting.

Advanced features

Advanced users can configure coin-specific settings, connect to third-party wallets that support Trezor, and use multisig setups depending on the model and supported ecosystems.

Troubleshooting — common issues & fixes

Device not detected

Try a different USB cable and port. Use the original cable if possible. If detection still fails, reboot your computer and ensure the browser has permission to access USB devices.

Firmware update failed

Do not disconnect the device during firmware installation. If an update fails, follow the official recovery/bootloader instructions from the official site.

Forgot or lost seed

If you lose your seed and your device is gone, funds are unrecoverable. That’s why backing up the seed securely is essential. If the seed is misplaced but the device remains, export public addresses (read-only) and move funds to a new wallet once recovered.

Phishing or suspicious links

If you suspect a phishing attempt, close the page, verify the URL manually (trezor.io/start), and report the phishing attempt to Trezor support channels.

FAQ — quick answers

Can I use Trezor with mobile?

Yes — Trezor Suite supports mobile workflows and some third-party mobile wallet integrations. For the latest mobile support details, check Trezor’s official documentation.

Is the Trezor start page the only safe way?

Using trezor.io/start is the recommended safest approach. It ensures verified downloads and a manufacturer-guided setup flow, minimizing risk of fake apps or malicious instructions.

What coins are supported?

Trezor supports thousands of coins and tokens; exact compatibility depends on the model. Refer to the official compatibility list in Trezor Suite or on trezor.io for details.
