Trezor.io/start — Official Start Page for Trezor Users

Welcome! This colorful, step-by-step presentation walks you through using Trezor.io/start, the official onboarding portal for Trezor hardware wallets. You’ll learn what the page is, how to set up your device safely, essential security practices, and where to click to download Trezor Suite for desktop or launch the web version.

Go to Trezor.io/start (Official) Open the Official Start Page

What is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the trusted launchpad for new and returning Trezor users. It provides the authentic path to download or open Trezor Suite, connect your Model T or Model One, verify firmware, and learn how to back up your recovery seed securely. Always use this official page instead of searching for downloads on third-party sites.

Tip: Bookmark https://trezor.io/start and type it directly into your address bar. Confirm the domain is trezor.io and the connection is secure (padlock).

Before You Begin

Ensure your Trezor device is new and sealed. If tampered, contact support.
Prepare pen and paper (or metal backup) for your recovery seed.
Choose a private, offline-friendly place—no cameras or onlookers.
Have a USB cable ready and a computer you trust.

Why Use the Official Start Page?

The start page routes you to the correct Suite app for your operating system or opens the secure web application. It also provides verified steps and warnings that help you avoid phishing, counterfeit software, and unsafe practices.

Security Snapshot

Your recovery seed is your ultimate backup—never type it into a computer or phone.
Only install firmware prompted by Suite or the device itself.
Keep your PIN secret; use a strong passphrase if you understand the trade-offs.

Step-by-Step Setup via Trezor.io/start

Visit the Official Portal

Navigate to Trezor.io/start. Check the URL and padlock.
Download or Launch Trezor Suite

Click the official button to download Suite for your OS or open Suite for Web. Avoid installers from unofficial mirrors. Verify file signatures if you can.
Connect Your Device

Plug in your Trezor with the USB cable. Follow on-screen instructions in Suite.
Initialize & Create a Backup

Suite will guide you to create a recovery seed on the device’s screen. Write down each word in order. Do not photograph or store digitally.
Secure With a PIN (and Optional Passphrase)

Set a strong PIN. Advanced users may add a passphrase for plausible deniability, knowing that forgetting it makes the wallet irretrievable.
Add Accounts & Receive Your First Crypto

In Suite, add Bitcoin or other supported networks, copy a receive address, and verify it on the device display before sharing.
Keep Firmware & Suite Updated

Use only updates prompted by Suite or your device. Read the changelog and confirm on-device.

Best Practices

Store your seed in two secure, separate places. Consider a fire/steel backup.
Use unique, long passwords for your computer accounts and Suite profile.
Verify addresses on the Trezor screen before sending—every time.
Back up after adding hidden wallets (passphrase) because they’re distinct.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Entering the seed on a website or mobile keyboard—this is unsafe.
Saving the seed in cloud notes, screenshots, or email drafts.
Installing Suite from ad links or unknown download portals.
Ignoring firmware prompts or disconnecting during an update.

Troubleshooting Essentials

If Suite doesn’t detect your device, try another cable/port, close other wallet apps, and ensure drivers are installed. For firmware loops, follow the guided recovery in Suite.

Trezor Suite: Desktop & Web Overview

Portfolio & Accounts

Suite consolidates balances, transaction history, and accounts across supported networks. Use labels, notes, and export tools for clean records. You remain in control—the private keys never leave the device.

Privacy Aids

Options like coin control and Tor support (when available) help reduce unnecessary information leakage. Learn how these tools work before relying on them.
