Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet doesn’t require technical expertise—just a bit of time and the right steps. This guide explains how to use Trezor.io/Start, the official setup portal, to get your wallet ready for secure use.
Whether you’ve purchased a Trezor Model One or Model T, here’s how to get started with confidence.
Trezor.io/Start is the designated web page where all Trezor wallet users begin their device setup. It walks you through installing Trezor Suite, updating firmware, and protecting your wallet with a PIN and recovery phrase. Everything is designed to be secure, simple, and beginner-friendly.
Make sure you have:
Avoid using shared or public computers for setup. Privacy and security are key.
Open your web browser and enter the URL: trezor.io/start. This is the official starting point and ensures you’re downloading the correct software.
The site will detect your operating system and suggest the correct version of Trezor Suite—Trezor’s desktop app for managing your wallet.
Click the download link for your system (Windows, Mac, or Linux), then install the program.
Trezor Suite allows you to:
Once installed, open the app and move on to device setup.
Use the USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. The Suite will detect the device automatically and guide you through the rest of the setup.
If you’re setting it up for the first time, there will be no wallet or firmware on the device yet. That’s normal.
New Trezor devices come without firmware installed. You’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware version during setup.
Follow the on-screen instructions. The process is fast and ensures your device runs safely with the most current updates.
Note: Do not unplug your device during firmware installation.
Once the firmware is installed, choose to create a new wallet.
Trezor will generate a recovery seed phrase—a list of 12 or 24 words. This phrase is critical for recovering your funds if you ever lose access to your device.
You’ll be asked to confirm the words afterward to make sure you wrote them correctly.
You’ll be prompted to create a PIN code for the device. This code protects your wallet from unauthorized access if your Trezor is ever lost or stolen.
Choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. You’ll enter it on your Trezor device using a randomized number layout.
After setup, you’ll be taken to the Trezor Suite dashboard. From here, you can:
The dashboard is clean and user-friendly, even if you’re new to crypto.
To add crypto to your wallet:
Always double-check the wallet address before sending any funds. Trezor displays the receiving address on the device itself so you can confirm it’s accurate.
Security doesn’t end with setup. Here’s how to protect your crypto long-term:
Setting up your Trezor through Trezor.io/Start is the safest and easiest way to get started in crypto with full control over your funds. With your wallet created, your seed phrase stored, and your PIN set, you're now ready to manage and protect your digital assets securely.
