🔐 What is trezor.io/start?
trezor.io/start is the official setup page for Trezor hardware wallets, such as Trezor Model One and Model T. It guides users through initializing their device securely, downloading the Trezor Suite software, and creating or recovering a crypto wallet.
🛠 Step-by-Step Trezor Setup Process
1. Go to trezor.io/start
- Open a browser and visit trezor.io/start.
- Select your Trezor device (Model One or Model T) to begin the guided setup.
2. Download Trezor Suite
- You’ll be prompted to download the Trezor Suite app (available for Windows, macOS, or Linux).
- This app is the interface for managing your crypto with the Trezor device.
3. Connect Your Trezor Device
- Use the USB cable to plug in your Trezor to your computer.

5. Create a New Wallet or Recover Existing
You’ll be given two options:
- Create a new wallet (if you're new).
- Recover wallet from seed (if restoring a previous wallet).
6. Backup Your Wallet (Recovery Seed)
- Write down the 12 or 24-word recovery seed displayed on the device screen.
- Store it offline and securely — NOT on your computer or online.
7. Set a PIN Code
- Choose and confirm a secure PIN on your device.
- This adds a layer of protection in case the device is lost or stolen.
8. Access the Trezor Suite Dashboard

- You can now send, receive, and manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies.
✅ Final Tips
