Why Use Trezor.io/Start for Setup?
Trezor.io/Start is the official onboarding page created by SatoshiLabs to ensure every user configures their Trezor device securely. Whether you own a Trezor Model T or a Trezor One, this guide will help you create a safe environment for your cryptocurrency holdings, away from phishing risks or unauthorized software.
Step 1: Unboxing Your Device
When you unbox your Trezor wallet, make sure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Inside, you should find:
- Trezor hardware wallet (Model T or Trezor One)
- USB cable
- Recovery seed cards
- Instruction leaflet and stickers
Step 2: Connecting to Trezor.io/Start
Using the supplied USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. Visit Trezor.io/Start in your browser to download the official Trezor Suite app or Trezor Bridge software, which enables communication between your device and computer.
Step 3: Initializing and Securing
During the setup process, Trezor.io/Start will guide you to install the latest firmware, set a secure PIN, and generate your recovery seed. This seed is the master key to your funds and must be written down carefully on the provided recovery cards. Never share it online or store it digitally.
Step 4: Accessing Trezor Suite
Once your device is initialized, you can access Trezor Suite, the official desktop and web interface for managing your crypto. Here, you’ll be able to send, receive, and track Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported assets with full transparency and control.
