Begin Your Journey to Unbreakable Crypto Security – Initialize Your Trezor Wallet in Under 10 Minutes
Trezor.io/Start is the official, secure web portal designed by SatoshiLabs to guide new and existing users through the initial setup of Trezor hardware wallets. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, this page ensures you follow verified, phishing-resistant steps to create or recover your wallet.
Always access Trezor.io/Start by typing directly into your browser or via the official trezor.io homepage.
Follow these instructions exactly to initialize your device:
Connect Your Trezor: Plug your Trezor into your computer using the included USB cable.
Visit Trezor.io/Start: Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start.
Install Trezor Bridge: If prompted, download and install Trezor Bridge – required for secure communication.
Install Firmware: Your device will prompt you to install official firmware. Confirm on the device screen.
Create a New Wallet: Choose “Create new wallet” and confirm on your Trezor.
Backup Your Recovery Seed: Write down the 12 or 24-word seed phrase on paper only. Never take photos or store digitally.
Confirm Seed: Re-enter select words on your Trezor to verify backup accuracy.
Set PIN: Create a 4–9 digit PIN. This protects physical access.
Name Your Device: Optional – give your Trezor a unique name.
Access Trezor Suite: You’re now redirected to Trezor Suite to manage your assets.
Never enter your seed phrase on any website, including Trezor.io/Start. The official site never asks for your seed. If you see such a prompt, close immediately – you’re on a phishing site.
Lost access to your old Trezor? Use your seed phrase to restore:
Connect your new or wiped Trezor device.
Go to Trezor.io/Start and select “Recover wallet”.
Enter your 12, 18, or 24-word seed phrase on the device screen only.
Set a new PIN and complete setup.
Your funds and accounts will reappear in Trezor Suite.
Important: Recovery restores access to all coins on standard paths (BIP44/49/84). Custom derivations may require manual account import.

The Trezor.io/Start interface is built with multiple layers of protection to prevent phishing, malware, and user error. It uses HTTPS with HSTS, certificate pinning, and domain validation to ensure you're on the real site. The page is served from subdomains only, and any redirect to external domains triggers a warning.
When you connect your Trezor, Trezor.io/Start communicates via Trezor Bridge using encrypted protobuf messages. The site never touches your private keys or seed. All sensitive inputs (seed entry, PIN) are done exclusively on the hardware device, making keyloggers and screen recorders useless.
During setup, Trezor.io/Start downloads firmware directly from with cryptographic signatures. Your device verifies the signature using a hardcoded public key. If tampered, the device refuses to install and displays a warning.
Your recovery seed is generated on the device using a certified random number generator (TRNG). The computer assists with entropy but cannot influence the final seed. This meets BIP-39 standards and ensures unpredictability.
After setup, enable a passphrase in Trezor Suite. This acts as a “second factor” – even with your seed, funds remain inaccessible without the passphrase. Ideal for plausible deniability and hidden wallets.
Advanced users can split their seed into multiple shares (e.g., 3-of-5). Only a threshold number of shares can reconstruct the master seed. Perfect for inheritance planning or distributed storage.
