Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet for the first time can feel intimidating, but with our Trezor.io/Start support resources, you can quickly secure and manage your digital assets safely. Trezor is built to provide next-generation security for your cryptocurrency by allowing you to store your private keys offline. Through this guide, you’ll learn how to connect, initialize, and protect your wallet while ensuring you have full control of your funds.
When you visit Trezor.io/Start, you begin your journey toward total crypto security. The setup process ensures that your device firmware is authentic and up to date. Once the device connects to Trezor Suite, users can install the latest updates, create a new wallet, and back up recovery seeds safely. Always remember, your recovery seed is the only way to restore your crypto wallet—never share it with anyone.
To get started, connect your Trezor Model T or Trezor One to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Navigate to Trezor.io/Start, and follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll be prompted to install the Trezor Bridge software, which allows your browser to communicate securely with your device.
Once your Trezor is recognized, install the latest firmware. Then, create a new wallet or restore one from an existing recovery seed. Trezor Suite will guide you through setting a PIN for device access and generating a recovery seed — a unique list of 12, 18, or 24 words that serves as your ultimate backup.
It’s important to write the recovery words on the provided backup card and store them offline, away from your computer or phone. Never take a photo or digital copy of it, as doing so compromises your wallet’s safety.
If you encounter any connection issues while accessing Trezor.io/Start, try switching USB cables or browsers, and make sure the Trezor Bridge is properly installed. Firmware update errors can be resolved by reconnecting your device and retrying the process. You can also contact our official support team for guidance with firmware recovery or wallet restoration.
Trezor never stores or asks for your recovery seed online. Be cautious of phishing sites that mimic the original. Always check the URL begins with https://trezor.io and verify the SSL lock icon before entering sensitive information.
