trezor.io/start is the official initialization portal for all Trezor® hardware wallets. This dedicated website guides users through the entire setup process, from unboxing to first transaction, ensuring your device is configured with maximum security from day one.
Whether you own a Trezor® Model One or Trezor® Model T, this platform provides device-specific instructions tailored to your hardware, making the setup process straightforward even for cryptocurrency beginners.
The trezor.io/start process includes:
Security Note: Always verify you're on the official trezor.io website before entering any information. Bookmark the genuine site to avoid phishing attempts.
Following the initial setup at trezor.io/start, you'll need to download the Trezor Suite application to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. The Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
For mobile users, the Trezor Suite app is available on both iOS and Android platforms, allowing you to monitor your portfolio on the go (though transactions still require physical device confirmation).
Trezor Bridge is a essential communication tool that enables your Trezor® device to interact with web browsers securely. It facilitates the connection between your device and the Trezor Suite interface.
For the Trezor Bridge login process, you typically don't need to interact directly with Bridge—it works silently in the background once installed. The setup process at trezor.io/start will guide you through installation if required for your system.
Do I need to go to trezor.io/start every time I want to access my wallet?
No, trezor.io/start is only for the initial setup process. For regular access, you'll use the Trezor Suite application or the web version at suite.trezor.io, followed by the secure Trezor login process with your physical device.
What if I encounter problems during the setup process?
The trezor.io/start portal includes troubleshooting guidance for common issues. If problems persist, Trezor® offers comprehensive support documentation and a responsive support team to assist you.
Can I set up my Trezor® without visiting trezor.io/start?
While technically possible through Trezor Suite, trezor.io/start is the recommended approach as it provides device-specific instructions and verifies your device's authenticity, ensuring optimal security.
Is my recovery seed stored on trezor.io/start?
Absolutely not. The recovery seed is generated on your Trezor® device and never exposed to your computer or the internet. The trezor.io/start portal only provides instructions—it never has access to your sensitive data.
Do I need to download anything from trezor.io/start?
The portal may guide you to download firmware updates or Trezor Bridge, but these are digitally signed and verified by your device before installation. Always follow the instructions on the official site exactly.
What's the difference between Trezor Suite and trezor.io/start?
trezor.io/start is the setup portal for initial device configuration, while Trezor Suite is the ongoing management interface for your cryptocurrency assets after setup is complete.
