✅ What is Trezor.io/start

The Trezor.io/start process guides users through setting up their Trezor hardware wallet securely. First, visit the official site and select your Trezor model (One or Model T). Download and install Trezor Suite, then connect your device via USB. Install any required firmware updates before creating a new wallet. The device generates a recovery seed phrase (12-24 words), which must be written down and stored offline—never digitally. Set a PIN for added security and name your device for easy identification. Once set up, use Trezor Suite to manage cryptocurrencies, send/receive funds, and explore advanced features like passphrase protection. Always ensure firmware is updated and only use official Trezor sources to avoid scams. This process ensures maximum security for your crypto assets.

Step 1: Get Your Trezor Device Ready

• Unbox your Trezor (Trezor One or Trezor Model T).
• Ensure you have:
  • A USB cable (for Trezor One) or USB-C cable (for Model T).
  • A computer or smartphone.
  • A stable internet connection.

Step 2: Visit trezor.io/start

• Open your browser and go to trezor.io/start.
• Select your device (Trezor One or Model T).

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite (Desktop/Web)

• Option 1 (Recommended): Download Trezor Suite (Desktop App)
  • Click "Download Trezor Suite" for your OS (Windows/macOS/Linux).
  • Install and open the app.
• Option 2: Use Trezor Suite Web

Step 4: Connect Your Trezor

• Plug your Trezor into your computer via USB.
• The device will power on. Follow on-screen prompts.

Step 5: Install Firmware

• Click "Install Firmware" and wait for completion.

Step 6: Create a New Wallet

• Choose "Create new wallet" (unless you’re recovering an existing one).
• Select "Standard seed backup" (12/24 words) for security.

Step 7: Backup Your Recovery Seed

• Write down the 12 or 24-word recovery phrase shown on your Trezor screen.
  • Never store it digitally (no photos, cloud, etc.).
  • Use the included recovery card or a steel backup for durability.
• Confirm the seed by re-entering the words when prompted.

Step 8: Set a PIN

• Choose a PIN (4–9 digits for Trezor One, up to 50 for Model T).
• Re-enter to confirm.
• This PIN protects your device from unauthorized access.

Step 9: Name Your Device (Optional)

• Assign a name (e.g., "My Trezor") for easy identification.

Step 10: Access Your Wallet

• Your Trezor is now ready! You can:
  • Receive crypto: Generate addresses.
