✅ What to Do After Visiting Trezor.io/Start

1. Select Your Trezor Model

Once you're on the page:

  • Choose your device: Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T.
  • This ensures you get the correct setup instructions and software for your specific model.

2. Download Trezor Suite

  • Click to download the Trezor Suite, the official desktop application.
  • Choose the version that matches your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  • Once downloaded, install the app on your computer.

Trezor Suite is used to manage your crypto assets, set up your wallet, check balances, send/receive funds, and perform firmware updates.

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Use the USB cable provided to connect your Trezor wallet to your computer.
  • Open Trezor Suite, which will detect your connected device automatically.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to begin the initialization.

4. Install Firmware (If Required)

  • If the device is brand new, it will have no firmware installed for security reasons.
  • Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware.
  • Click “Install Firmware”, and wait until the process completes.
⚠️ Do not disconnect your device during firmware installation.

5. Create a New Wallet

  • Once the firmware is installed, you’ll be given two options:
  • Create New Wallet
  • Recover Wallet from Recovery Seed
  • Select “Create New Wallet” if you’re starting from scratch.

This creates a fresh, unique wallet address only you can access.

6. Back Up Your Recovery Seed

  • Your device will now display 12 or 24 secret recovery words.
  • Write these words down carefully in the correct order on the backup card provided.
  • This is your only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
🚫 Never take a photo, store it online, or type it into your computer.

7. Set Up a PIN

  • You’ll now be prompted to create a PIN code for your device.
  • This adds another layer of protection if someone physically gets hold of your Trezor.
  • Use a PIN that is secure and memorable for you.

8. Explore the Trezor Suite Interface

Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite opens your dashboard where you can:

  • View balances
  • Add cryptocurrency accounts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
  • Receive and send crypto
  • Access advanced settings and wallet tools

9. Optional but Recommended: Enable Passphrase

  • A passphrase is like a 25th word added to your recovery seed.
  • It adds extra protection, making your wallet much harder to access if someone gets your seed.
  • Choose a phrase you’ll remember but others can’t guess.

10. Safely Store Your Recovery Seed

  • Place the written recovery seed in a fireproof, waterproof safe.
  • Never share it, and never store it digitally.
  • Consider creating duplicate backups in separate secure locations.

🔒 Final Security Tips

  • Always update firmware and Trezor Suite when updates are available.
  • Verify all actions on the Trezor screen (e.g., addresses and transactions).
  • Avoid phishing: Never click unknown links or enter recovery words online.
  • Unplug your Trezor when not in use, especially in public spaces.

By carefully following these steps after visiting Trezor.io/Start, you complete the setup of your Trezor device the right way—with maximum security and peace of mind. Your crypto assets are now protected in one of the safest environments available.
