Beginner’s Guide: Trezor Wallet Setup on Trezor.io/start

Simple, step-by-step HTML presentation to get your Trezor device ready. Keyword: Trezor.io/start

Overview

This guide walks new users through setting up a Trezor hardware wallet safely. Follow each section in order. The instructions target Trezor Model T and Trezor One and assume you are using a modern web browser and a secure computer.

What you need

Safety first

Never enter your recovery seed on any website or share it. Always use official Trezor pages and firmware. Use the links below that point to official resources on trezor.io.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1. Go to Trezor.io/start

    Open your browser and visit https://trezor.io/start. This official start page detects your device and guides you through the rest of the process.

  2. 2. Install Trezor Suite (or use web wallet)

    Follow the prompts to download Trezor Suite or use the web interface. Official downloads are available on the site to ensure authenticity.

  3. 3. Connect your device

    Plug the Trezor into your computer. The device will prompt you on its screen — confirm any requests directly on the Trezor.

  4. 4. Update firmware

    If prompted, update your device firmware from the official updater at trezor.io/support. Firmware updates fix security issues and add features.

  5. 5. Create a new wallet or recover

    Choose Create a new wallet to generate a new recovery seed, or select Recover wallet if restoring from a previous seed. Write the seed on paper and keep it offline.

  6. 6. Set a PIN

    Set a PIN on the device. This protects against local attackers if your Trezor is stolen.

  7. 7. Verify addresses

    Always verify receiving addresses on the Trezor screen before sending funds — the device shows the address independently of your computer.

Advanced tips

Backup and recovery

Store your recovery seed in at least two geographically separate secure locations. Consider using a steel backup for fire and water resistance.

FAQ

FAQ

Q: Is Trezor.io/start the official site?
A: Yes. Trezor.io/start is the official guided setup page. Always check the domain carefully in your browser.
Q: Can I recover my wallet if I lose my Trezor?
A: Yes — use your recovery seed to recover on another Trezor device or a compatible wallet that supports BIP39/BIP44 standards.
Q: Should I type my seed into my computer?
A: Never. Enter seeds only on a trusted hardware device or restore via the device’s recovery flow. Typing the seed into software exposes it to malware.
Q: What is a passphrase?
A: A passphrase is an optional password that extends your seed to create a hidden wallet. If you forget it, access to that hidden wallet is lost — store it safely.
