Why Use Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the official platform for setting up Trezor hardware wallets, such as the Trezor One and Model T. By using this portal, you ensure that you’re downloading authentic software and following verified instructions, protecting you from phishing scams and malicious applications. The site offers clear, step-by-step guidance to help you initialize your device, install Trezor Bridge, and manage your recovery seed securely.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/start

Begin by navigating to Trezor.io/start. Select your device (Trezor One or Model T) from the visual menu. This ensures you’re accessing the correct setup instructions tailored to your hardware.

Step 2: Install Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is essential software that enables communication between your Trezor device and your computer. Download it directly from Trezor.io/start to ensure you’re getting the official, virus-free version. Follow the prompts to install it on your system.

Step 3: Initialize Your Device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer via the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet. Your device will generate a recovery seed—typically 12 or 24 words. Write this down on the provided recovery card and store it in a secure, offline location. Never share your seed phrase or store it digitally.

Step 4: Set a PIN

Choose a strong PIN to protect your device from unauthorized access. This adds an extra layer of security to your wallet. Ensure the PIN is memorable but not easily guessable.

Step 5: Install Trezor Suite

Download Trezor Suite, the official wallet management software, from Trezor.io/start. This app allows you to manage your cryptocurrencies, check balances, and perform secure transactions.
