Set up your Trezor hardware wallet safely and start managing your cryptocurrency with confidence.
Welcome to the official Trezor.io/start setup page — your trusted gateway to begin using your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you’ve purchased the Trezor Model One or the Trezor Model T, this guide ensures you start securely, step-by-step, and fully understand how to use Trezor Suite, Trezor Bridge, and the Trezor hardware login process.
Once you receive your new Trezor® device, carefully unbox it and check that the packaging is sealed. Genuine Trezor products come in tamper-proof boxes — any sign of damage or broken seals should be reported immediately. Inside, you’ll find your Trezor device, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and a quick start guide.
Open your browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start — the official setup portal for all Trezor wallets. From here, you can download Trezor Suite, the application designed to help you securely manage your crypto assets. Trezor Suite offers both desktop and web app options, ensuring a seamless experience on any operating system.

Click on “Download for Desktop” to install Trezor Suite. Once installed, open the application and connect your device using the USB cable. The software will automatically detect your Trezor device and prompt you to either create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed.
Trezor Bridge is a communication layer that allows your hardware wallet to interact securely with your computer and browser. If prompted, install Trezor Bridge directly from Trezor.io/Bridge. This ensures your wallet connects seamlessly to Trezor Suite or browser-based apps.
Trezor Bridge — The Secure Gateway to Your Hardware Wallet. It keeps all communications encrypted and prevents third-party interference.
Once connected, you’ll be guided to either create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed. Follow these steps carefully:
The recovery seed is your ultimate backup — it’s the only way to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Keep it private and offline.
Set a strong PIN code on your Trezor® to prevent unauthorized physical access. You can also enable an optional passphrase for advanced protection. This adds an extra security layer, creating a unique wallet even with the same recovery seed.
Once setup is complete, the Trezor Suite dashboard becomes your control center. Here, you can:
Trezor Suite combines security with usability, ensuring a smooth experience for both beginners and advanced users. The interface is simple, clean, and transparent — you are always in control.
With Trezor Hardware Login, you can securely sign in to your crypto accounts or web services using your device. Instead of relying on passwords, your Trezor verifies your identity directly — making phishing attempts impossible.
Compatible with various wallets and DeFi platforms, Trezor hardware login provides seamless access to Web3 while keeping your private keys offline.
Trezor is not just a wallet — it’s a philosophy of self-custody and privacy. By starting through Trezor.io/Start, you ensure that your crypto setup is done on the official, secure pathway designed by SatoshiLabs.
