Trezor.io start — Safe, Step‑by‑Step Setup

The official starting point for Trezor Hardware Wallet. Download Trezor Suite, install Trezor Bridge if needed, and complete setup without ever exposing your recovery phrase.

Trezor.io start (H2)

Trezor.io start (often written as Trezor Io Start) is the verified hub for first‑time setup. It detects your model (Model One / Model T), links the official Trezor Suite installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and provides Trezor Bridge where WebUSB isn’t supported. Updates and guidance are bundled so you avoid fake downloads and phishing traps.

Download the desktop app. Open it and keep it updated for the latest security and coin support.

Some systems require Trezor Bridge so Suite can talk to your device over USB reliably.

Generate a new wallet and write the 12/18/24‑word recovery phrase on paper/steel, or restore from an existing phrase.

5Secure with PIN & Passphrase (H3)

Set a strong PIN. Optionally add a passphrase for a hidden wallet—only if you can remember it precisely.

Security Essentials (H2)

Phishing Warning (H4)

No real Trezor Login webpage will ever ask for your recovery phrase. All approvals happen on the device screen.

  • Bookmark Trezor.io start and avoid ad links.
  • Store your recovery phrase offline in two secure locations.
  • Confirm addresses on the device before sending funds.

FAQs (H2)

Do I always need Trezor Bridge? (H3)

Not on every system. Some browsers support WebUSB. If Suite or your browser requests it, install Trezor Bridge for stable communication.

Is there a Trezor Login account? (H3)

No. Your keys live on the device. “Login” means unlocking with PIN (and optional passphrase) and using Trezor Suite.

Where should I download software? (H3)

Only from Trezor.io start. Avoid search‑ad links or random download sites.

Can I recover funds if the device is lost? (H3)

Yes. Restore with your recovery phrase (and passphrase if used) on a new Trezor device via Trezor Suite.

How do I verify addresses? (H3)

Always compare the address shown in Suite with the one on your device screen. They must match before you share or send.
