Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®, the official setup hub for your Trezor hardware wallet and the trusted gateway to the Trezor Suite App. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Trezor Model T or Trezor One, this guide will walk you through installation, wallet creation, and best-practice security so you can take full control of your digital assets.
Trezor, developed by SatoshiLabs, pioneered the concept of the hardware wallet. Its mission is simple: help people achieve self-custody of cryptocurrency through open-source, verifiable technology. Using Trezor Suite, you can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other assets with confidence that your private keys never leave your device.
Begin by navigating to https://trezor.io/start.
This is the only verified portal for initializing a Trezor device. Always type the address manually or bookmark it to avoid fake or malicious clones.
On the page, choose your wallet model—Trezor One or Trezor Model T—to launch model-specific setup instructions. You’ll be guided through the complete initialization process, from connecting your wallet to installing firmware and the Trezor Suite App.
The Trezor Suite App (Official) is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download only from the link provided on the official start page to ensure authenticity.
Once installed, open the application and connect your Trezor via USB. The software automatically detects your device and checks whether it has the latest firmware. If an update is required, follow the on-screen instructions. Trezor Suite verifies firmware signatures from SatoshiLabs so you can be certain you’re installing genuine software.
With Trezor Suite open and your device recognized, choose one of two paths:
When creating a new wallet, your Trezor will display recovery words directly on its screen. Write them down in the exact order using the provided recovery card. Never take a photo or store the seed digitally—offline storage keeps it beyond reach of hackers. This seed is your ultimate backup: whoever holds it controls the funds.
After generating or restoring your wallet, set a PIN code. The PIN protects your device against unauthorized physical access. Each time you plug in your Trezor, you’ll need to enter this code.
Advanced users can enable a passphrase, sometimes called the 25th word. This optional feature creates hidden wallets accessible only with the correct phrase, offering a powerful layer of privacy and protection for high-value holdings.
Once setup is complete, you’ll arrive at the Trezor Suite dashboard—the command center for your digital assets.
Here you can:
Every outgoing transaction requires confirmation on your hardware wallet, ensuring complete protection even if your computer is compromised.
Trezor Suite App includes several privacy-focused enhancements:
Regularly check for firmware and Suite updates to maintain the strongest possible protection.
Your recovery seed is the master key to your wallet. Keep it offline, stored securely in a fire- and water-resistant location. Do not share it with anyone—not even Trezor Support.
Trezor will never ask for your recovery words via email, website, or chat. Any request to do so is a scam.
By keeping your seed private and your device firmware authentic, you ensure your funds remain under your exclusive control.
Should you experience difficulties during setup, visit the official Trezor Support Center. You’ll find guides covering connection issues, firmware errors, and recovery help.
