Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Trezor is a leading hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe and in your control. This guide will walk you through the full setup process from unboxing to secure usage of your Trezor wallet. If you're new to crypto or migrating from another wallet, this is the best place to begin.

Getting Started: What You Need

Before you begin, ensure you have a genuine Trezor device (Trezor Model One or Model T), a USB cable, and a secure internet connection. Trezor is not just a wallet — it's your personal bank vault for digital assets. The first step is visiting Trezor.io/Start to download the official Trezor Suite.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. 2. Visit Trezor.io/Start in your browser. 3. Download and install the Trezor Suite — available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. 4. Launch the app and choose “Setup a new device.” 5. Follow the prompts to install firmware (if not already installed). 6. Create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed.

During setup, you’ll be shown a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase on your device screen. Write it down on the provided card and store it in a secure, offline location. This seed is your master key — if you lose it, access to your funds is lost permanently.

Logging Into Trezor Suite

Once your wallet is initialized, logging in becomes simple and secure:

• Open Trezor Suite
• Plug in your Trezor device and enter your PIN on the device screen
• Select the wallet you want to access (standard or hidden)

All sensitive data is handled by your Trezor hardware — never exposed to the internet.

Security Features & Tips

Trezor is designed with maximum security in mind. Here are key features that protect you:

• PIN protection: Prevents unauthorized physical access
• Passphrase support: Add a custom word to enhance your seed's security
• Device encryption: All operations are confirmed on-device
• Open-source: Fully auditable by the community

For maximum protection, never type your seed into any computer or website. Always confirm transactions on your Trezor screen before approval.

Trezor Suite Features

Trezor Suite is your control panel for all supported cryptocurrencies. You can:

• Send and receive BTC, ETH, and hundreds of altcoins
• Track your portfolio in real time
• Buy crypto using verified partners directly in the app

Troubleshooting & Support

If you encounter issues during setup or login:

• Ensure you're using an official cable
