Trezor.io/Start — Official Trezor.io/Start Setup & Download Guide

Trezor.io/Start is the official onboarding and download portal for Trezor hardware wallets. Use Trezor.io/Start to get the authentic Trezor Suite app, Trezor Bridge, official setup instructions and firmware updates so you can safely initialize and manage your Trezor device.

What is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is the official starting point recommended by Trezor. When you visit https://trezor.io/start you get verified links to download Trezor Suite (desktop & web), Trezor Bridge (if required), firmware instructions, and step-by-step setup guides for Trezor devices such as the Trezor Model T and Trezor One.

Why use Trezor.io/Start?

Always use Trezor.io/Start because it guarantees you download official software and firmware. Downloading from any other link risks counterfeit installers, malware, or phishing pages that can steal your recovery seed or private keys. Trezor.io/Start reduces that risk by centralizing official resources.

What you need before visiting Trezor.io/Start

Genuine Trezor hardware (Trezor Model T or Trezor One) purchased from the official store or an authorized reseller.
A computer (Windows, macOS, Linux) or mobile device with a supported browser.
A secure place to write and store your 24-word recovery seed (paper or metal backup).
A reliable USB cable — use the one supplied with your device or a known-good cable.

Step-by-Step — Using Trezor.io/Start to set up your device

Go to the official page: open your browser and type trezor.io/start or click https://trezor.io/start. Verify the SSL padlock in the address bar.
Download Trezor Suite: choose the Desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux) or Web option as shown on Trezor.io/Start and download the verified installer.
Install Trezor Suite: run the installer and follow on-screen prompts. Trezor Suite will guide the rest of the setup.
Connect your Trezor device: connect the device using USB (or USB-C) and follow the device prompts displayed on your Trezor screen.
Initialize device: choose to create a new wallet (generate a fresh 24-word recovery seed) or restore from an existing seed; follow the Trezor Suite + device prompts exactly as instructed on Trezor.io/Start.
Record recovery seed securely: write down the 24 words in order and store them offline; never photograph, type, or store the seed online.
Update firmware: if prompted, update device firmware using the official update flow in Trezor Suite (links via Trezor.io/Start).
Install coin apps (if needed): for some coins you may need to install app packages (instructions are in Trezor Suite and pointed to from Trezor.io/Start).

Trezor Bridge — Do you need it?

Some browsers or workflows require Trezor Bridge to connect the device to web interfaces. Trezor.io/Start provides the official Trezor Bridge download and instructions if your setup requires it. For most users, Trezor Suite (desktop) is sufficient and often avoids Bridge-related browser issues.

Security best practices recommended on Trezor.io/Start

Only download software from Trezor.io/Start and verify the domain and SSL certificate in your browser.
Never share your 24-word recovery seed with anyone. Trezor staff never ask for your seed.
Store the recovery seed offline and consider a metal backup solution for fire/water protection.
Use passphrases (advanced feature) only if you fully understand how they work; a passphrase changes your seed and can add complexity to recovery.
Keep your device firmware and Trezor Suite updated using official links from Trezor.io/Start.

Troubleshooting common Trezor.io/Start issues

Device not detected: ensure the USB cable is data-capable, try a different USB port, and avoid USB hubs during setup. If using the browser, try Trezor Bridge from Trezor.io/Start.

Firmware update failed: restart Trezor Suite and the device, try a different cable/port, and follow the firmware recovery steps in the official guide linked from Trezor.io/Start.

Phishing or suspicious requests: if any website, email, or person asks for your recovery seed, stop and verify via Trezor.io/Start official channels.
