What is Trezor.io/start?
Trezor.io/start is the official onboarding page for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides step-by-step instructions to help new users connect and initialize their Trezor device securely. Whether you're new to crypto or transitioning from software wallets, this page is the starting point for protecting your assets.
Connecting Your Trezor Device
To get started, connect your Trezor Model T or Model One to your computer using the USB cable provided. Then visit Trezor.io/start. The page will automatically detect your device and guide you through the next steps, including installing Trezor Bridge, the communication interface between your browser and the wallet.
Using Trezor Suite for Crypto Management
Once your device is recognized, you'll be directed to open Trezor Suite, a secure desktop or web application. Through Trezor Suite, you can:
- Check balances and transaction history
- Send and receive cryptocurrencies
- Access portfolio overviews and coin-specific features
- Enable security settings like passphrase protection
All transactions are confirmed directly on your Trezor device, ensuring no action can occur without your physical approval.
Security and Best Practices
During setup, you’ll be prompted to create a recovery seed — a critical step for wallet recovery. Write this down and store it safely offline. Never share it online. Trezor.io/start emphasizes these practices to help users avoid phishing and loss of funds.
Next Steps After Setup
After completing the setup at Trezor.io/start, continue exploring features in Trezor Suite to make the most of your hardware wallet. Stay informed by checking Trezor’s official blog and community resources for updates and security tips.
