Setting up your Trezor device through Trezor.io/Start® is your first step toward safer, more reliable cryptocurrency management. This redesigned, modern-themed page provides a visually refreshed layout with clear guidance, helpful tips, and security reminders. Whether you are a first-time user or an experienced crypto holder, this guide ensures that your device is configured correctly and your assets stay protected.
Trezor wallets are known for their unmatched protection using offline private key storage. This setup flow outlines everything—from unpacking the device, installing Trezor Suite, backing up your recovery seed, and securing your digital accounts. With a strong color palette and improved readability, this page is built to give you clarity, confidence, and ease during your onboarding experience.
Start by removing your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T from its packaging. Verify that the hologram seal is fully intact and untampered. This seal guarantees that no one has accessed or modified your hardware before it reached you.
Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Open your browser and visit: Trezor.io/Start®. This will automatically redirect you to official Trezor onboarding instructions. **Never follow unofficial links**, as fake sites may attempt to steal your seed phrase.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop application used for managing coins, approving transactions, and securing your wallet. Once on the start page, download the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Install the app and launch it to begin your setup process.
The Suite provides advanced portfolio tools, hidden wallet support, coin management, and privacy features, all wrapped in an intuitive interface that enhances security while staying beautifully simple.
After connecting your device, Trezor Suite will prompt you to choose between creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one. If you are new, select Create New Wallet. Your Trezor will then generate your unique recovery seed phrase—usually 12, 18, or 24 words depending on your model.
Write these words down on paper only. Never take digital screenshots, upload them to cloud storage, or share them with anyone. This phrase is the master key to your wallet, and anyone who holds it can access your funds.
Your recovery seed is the heart of your entire crypto security. Without it, your wallet cannot be restored. Trezor encourages you to store this phrase in multiple secure physical locations using a fireproof or metal backup.
Trezor never stores or transmits your seed phrase. Your safety depends entirely on how well you protect these words.
Yes. Always use the official onboarding link. Bookmark it to avoid phishing or fraudulent websites.
Try a different USB port, cable, or computer. Ensure Trezor Suite is installed and updated.
Absolutely—use your recovery seed phrase to restore your wallet on a new Trezor device.
No. Only enter the phrase directly into your Trezor device screen—never into a computer or phone.
It supports many major coins, but not all. Check the official compatibility list before transferring assets.
