Trezor.io/Start — Official Trezor Wallet Setup & Onboarding

This new-format, animated light-themed guide walks you through the full Trezor.io/Start setup process — including installation, device initialization, login, wallet management, backup security, and troubleshooting. Designed for clarity, safety, and a smooth start.

Follow the Trezor.io/Start Setup Process

Trezor.io/Start is the official page for initializing your Trezor hardware wallet and accessing Trezor Suite. Follow these steps to safely configure your wallet.

Go to Trezor.io/Start
Use only the official website. Check the URL carefully. Choose your Trezor model and download Trezor Suite for your OS.

Install Trezor Suite
Install the application. When opening it, allow it to detect your device automatically once plugged in.

Connect Your Trezor Device
Plug in your Trezor Model One or Model T using a reliable USB cable. Unlock using your PIN on the physical device.

Initialize or Recover Your Wallet
Choose whether to set up a new wallet or recover using your 12/18/24‑word seed. Never enter the seed on your computer.

Create a Secure Wallet Backup
Write your recovery seed on paper. Keep it offline, safe, and never photograph or type it anywhere.

Install Firmware (If Needed)
If your device is brand new, firmware installation may be required. Approve only if prompted on the device.

Access Trezor Suite Dashboard
Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite will unlock your portfolio view. Manage coins, check balances, and verify addresses on-device.

Important Safety Tips When Using Trezor

Never type your recovery seed into Trezor Suite or any website.
Always verify addresses and transactions on your physical Trezor device.
Do not use your wallet on unknown or public computers.
Check USB permissions if Suite cannot detect your device.
Update firmware only through official Trezor Suite prompts.

Troubleshooting Guide

If something goes wrong, these quick checks typically resolve most issues.

Device Not Recognized

Try a different USB cable or port. Avoid USB hubs. Restart Trezor Suite. Unlock your device. Update drivers if necessary.

Incorrect Setup Prompts

If you see unexpected or suspicious prompts, cancel immediately and disconnect your device.

Login Loop or Suite Freeze

Restart Suite and the device. Reconnect with a different cable. Clear Suite cache if needed.

No Firmware Installed

Brand-new devices need firmware. Only approve installation on the device itself — never from a website.
