✅ What is Trezor.io/start

Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for your Trezor hardware wallet. It guides you step by step to initialize your device, install Trezor Suite, create a new wallet, back up your recovery seed securely, and start managing your cryptocurrencies safely. Always follow the instructions carefully to protect your assets.

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/start

• Open your browser and go to the official Trezor setup page.
• Ensure you are on the correct URL to avoid phishing scams.

Step 2: Choose Your Trezor Model

• Select whether you have a Trezor One or Trezor Model T.
• The setup process is slightly different for each model.

Step 3: Download & Install Trezor Suite

• Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your wallet.
• Download it from:
  • Trezor Suite for Desktop
• Install the application on your computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Step 4: Connect Your Trezor Device

• Use the USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer.
• For Trezor Model T, you may need a USB-C cable.
• If prompted, allow the device to connect.

Step 5: Install Firmware (If Required)

• If your Trezor is new or has outdated firmware, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 6: Create a New Wallet

• Choose "Create a new wallet" if this is your first time.
• If you’re recovering an existing wallet, select "Recover wallet" instead.

Step 7: Backup Your Recovery Seed (Most Important Step!)

• Your Trezor will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed.
• Write it down manually on paper (never store it digitally).
• Confirm the seed by selecting the words in the correct order.

⚠️ Warning:

• Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
• Store it securely offline (e.g., metal backup).

Step 8: Set a PIN (Optional but Recommended)

• Choose a PIN code (up to 9 digits) to protect your device.
• This prevents unauthorized access if your Trezor is stolen.

Step 9: Name Your Device (Optional)

• Assign a name to your Trezor (e.g., "My Crypto Vault").

Step 10: Access Your Wallet

• Once setup is complete, you can now:
  • Receive crypto (generate addresses).
  • Send crypto (sign transactions securely).
  • Manage multiple coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).
  • Use advanced features like Shamir Backup (Trezor Model T).

Step 11: Explore Trezor Suite Features

• Portfolio Tracking – Monitor your crypto holdings.
• Exchange Integration – Swap coins directly in the app.
• Security Settings – Enable passphrase (extra security layer).

Step 12: Stay Secure

• Always verify transactions on your Trezor screen.
• Never enter your seed phrase on a computer or phone.
• Bookmark Trezor.io to avoid phishing sites.

Final Notes

• If you lose your Trezor, you can restore your wallet using the recovery seed.
• For extra security, consider enabling a passphrase (advanced users).
