Trezor.io/start is the official gateway to setting up your Trezor hardware wallet safely and correctly. When you connect your Trezor device for the first time, the website provides step-by-step instructions to guide you through installation, initialization, and security checks. You’ll begin by downloading Trezor Suite or Trezor Bridge depending on your operating system. These tools allow your computer to communicate securely with your hardware wallet.
Once installed, you can proceed with creating a new wallet. Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed — a set of 12, 18, or 24 words that acts as your master backup. This seed must be written down and stored safely offline. Never share it or type it into any computer or website, as anyone with the seed can access your funds.
After securing your recovery phrase, you’ll set a PIN and optional passphrase for added protection. Trezor.io/start also provides guidance on verifying addresses on your Trezor screen, updating firmware safely, and navigating Trezor Suite to manage your crypto assets.
