A secure start, one step at a time

Your hardware wallet keeps private keys isolated from your everyday computer. The setup process connects the device to trusted software while you confirm important actions on the wallet’s own screen. Take your time, follow prompts on the device, and stop if anything looks unexpected.

  1. 01

    Check your device

    Unbox the wallet yourself and inspect its packaging and condition. Connect it with a compatible cable directly to a computer or phone, and confirm the welcome screen appears on the device.

  2. 02

    Open the official setup page

    Type trezor.io/start into your browser or use the button above. Verify the domain spelling and secure connection before downloading software; avoid search ads and unsolicited setup links.

  3. 03

    Install Trezor Suite

    Follow the official prompts to install Trezor Suite for your operating system. If prompted, install or update Trezor Bridge to enable browser communication, then reconnect the wallet and check for firmware updates.

  4. 04

    Create or recover a wallet

    Choose the option that matches your situation. For a new wallet, write the recovery seed on the supplied backup material and verify it on-device. For recovery, only continue if you understand the device’s secure recovery process.

Use Trezor Suite to manage your wallet

After setup, Trezor Suite provides an overview of supported accounts and lets you review transactions before approving them on your wallet. Confirm the recipient address, network, and amount on the hardware device display—not only on your computer. Keep Suite and your device firmware current by using updates offered through the official application, and never approve a transaction you did not initiate.

About Trezor login and access

A Trezor Wallet does not work like a hosted account with a password-based Trezor login. Your device authorizes wallet actions. A PIN can protect physical access, while a passphrase is an optional advanced feature that should be used only when you understand its recovery implications.

Device-confirmed security

Protect your recovery backup

Your recovery seed is the master backup for your wallet: anyone who obtains it may be able to control the assets associated with it. Store it offline in a private, secure place, away from the device if practical. Trezor support will never need your seed, and a legitimate Trezor Bridge or Suite update will never ask you to submit it on a webpage. If a pop-up, message, or call asks you to reveal the words, stop and close it.

Frequently asked questions

What is Trezor.io/start used for?

It is the starting point for device setup guidance and official software links. Check that the address is exactly trezor.io/start before proceeding, and follow the instructions shown by your hardware wallet.

Do I need Trezor Suite to use a Trezor hardware wallet?

Trezor Suite is the official companion application for setup and wallet management. Availability and supported features can vary by device and operating system, so use the compatibility information on Trezor’s official site.

What does Trezor Bridge do?

Trezor Bridge is a communication component that can help a supported browser connect to your device. Install it only through official Trezor instructions, and do not confuse it with a request to enter your recovery seed.

Where can I find my Trezor login?

Trezor is self-custodial; it does not use a conventional hosted-wallet login to access private keys. Open Trezor Suite from a trusted source and authorize sensitive actions on the physical device. Never share a PIN, passphrase, or recovery seed.

Should I type my recovery seed into Trezor.io/start?

No. Never enter your recovery seed into a website, computer, chat, or support form. Use the secure recovery flow shown on your device and follow the device’s own prompts.

What should I do if setup does not recognize my device?

Try a known data-capable cable and another USB port, reconnect the device, and check the official troubleshooting guidance for your operating system. Avoid unofficial downloads; contact support through the official Trezor website without revealing your recovery words.

Security practices and available features may change. Always verify current setup instructions and downloads directly with Trezor’s official website.
