Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®
Trezor.io/Start® is the verified setup portal for all Trezór® hardware wallets. Whether you own a Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this guide will walk you through initializing your device safely, installing firmware, and creating your secure recovery seed.
Step 1: Visit the Official Website
Start only from the legitimate Trezor URL — trezor.io/start. Avoid unofficial links to prevent phishing or fake firmware installations.
Step 2: Download and Install Trezor Suite®
- Click “Download for Desktop” on the official page.
- Select your OS — Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Install Trezor Suite® by following the setup wizard.
- Alternatively, access Trezor Suite Web for browser use.

Download Trezor Suite®Step 3: Connect Your Trezór® Device
Once installed, connect your device to your computer via the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen prompts:
- Select your device type — Model T or Trezor One.
- Install the latest firmware version if required.
- Confirm all installation requests directly on your Trezor device screen.
Step 4: Create or Recover Your Wallet
Choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one:
- New Wallet: Generate a recovery seed of 12–24 words. Write these down securely.
- Recover Wallet: Enter your seed directly on the Trezor device screen — never on your computer.
Your recovery seed is your only backup. Keep it offline, safe, and private.
Step 5: Secure Your Device
- Set a unique, strong PIN directly on your device.
- Enable an optional passphrase for advanced protection.
- Always confirm transactions physically on your Trezor.

- Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
- View real-time balances and transaction history.
- Access trusted exchange integrations within Suite.
- Enable Tor mode to improve privacy and conceal IP information.
Troubleshooting
If your device isn’t recognized by Trezor Suite®:
