The trezor.io/start portal is your official starting point for setting up any Trezor® hardware wallet. This comprehensive web platform provides device-specific guidance tailored to your particular Trezor® model, ensuring a secure and streamlined initialization process from unboxing to full operation.
Connect your Trezor® device via USB cable. The portal automatically detects your model and checks packaging authenticity. Always purchase from official sources to avoid tampered devices.
Install the latest firmware through the portal. This critical security step ensures your device has current protection against known vulnerabilities and access to the latest features.
Create your unique recovery phrase (12, 18, or 24 words). This represents your ultimate backup - write it physically, store securely, and never digitize or share these words.
Set up your device PIN using the secure matrix input system. This PIN is required for every subsequent Trezor login, protecting against physical access threats.
After completing the trezor.io/start process, you'll be directed to Trezor Suite - the advanced interface for comprehensive cryptocurrency management. This unified platform combines portfolio analytics, transaction history, and security configurations in one intuitive application.
Trezor Suite offers multiple access points to suit different user preferences:
Trezor Bridge operates as the essential background service enabling secure communication between your Trezor® device and Trezor Suite. The Trezor Bridge Login process establishes an encrypted channel that protects your sensitive data from potential interception, ensuring secure transaction signing and device management.
Try a different USB cable and port first. Ensure Trezor Bridge is installed and updated. Check browser permissions for USB device access, and try refreshing the page or using a different browser.
While the web version of Trezor Suite provides basic functionality, the desktop application offers enhanced security features, offline transaction signing, and additional tools. For optimal protection, complete the Trezor Suite download.
Absolutely not. Your recovery seed is generated on and never leaves your Trezor® device. The trezor.io/start portal only provides setup instructions - all sensitive operations happen locally on your hardware wallet.
You can safely reconnect and revisit trezor.io/start to resume the process. The setup will continue from the last completed step, though some security verifications may need repetition.
No, after initial setup, you access your Trezor Wallet directly through Trezor Suite. The trezor.io/start portal is specifically for device initialization, recovery, and firmware updates.
The setup portal is accessible on mobile browsers, but for optimal experience and security, using a desktop or laptop computer is recommended. The Trezor Suite app is available for mobile portfolio monitoring after initial setup.
