Welcome to Trezor.io/start, your first step toward securing and managing your cryptocurrency with confidence. At Trezor®, we prioritize the safety of your digital assets, offering a seamless and intuitive experience for both beginners and experienced users. This guide will help you set up your Trezor wallet quickly, so you can start sending, receiving, and storing crypto safely.

Step 1: Access Trezor.io/start

To begin, visit Trezor.io/start. This page is your gateway to downloading the official Trezor Suite software, which allows you to interact with your Trezor hardware wallet. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, Trezor Suite ensures your funds remain protected while providing a smooth, user-friendly interface.

Before proceeding, make sure your device is genuine and purchased directly from Trezor or an authorized reseller. This guarantees that your wallet is secure and free from tampering.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

Once you have downloaded the Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor device to your computer using the included USB cable. The software will detect your device automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your wallet.

During setup, you will be prompted to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If this is your first Trezor, select “Create new wallet” and continue. For returning users, choose the recovery option and enter your recovery seed securely.

Step 3: Set Up a Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is a series of 24 words generated by your Trezor device. This is the most critical part of your wallet setup. Write down your seed carefully and store it offline in a secure location. Never share it digitally or online. This seed allows you to restore access to your wallet if your Trezor device is lost, damaged, or stolen.

After writing your recovery seed, the Trezor Suite will ask you to verify it by selecting the words in the correct order. This step ensures your backup is correct and ready for emergencies.

Step 4: Create a PIN Code

Next, set a secure PIN code for your Trezor device. This code protects your wallet from unauthorized access, even if your device is physically stolen. Trezor offers a dynamic PIN entry system, adding an extra layer of security against potential keyloggers or hackers.

Step 5: Start Using Your Wallet

Congratulations! Your Trezor wallet is now ready to use. You can start sending, receiving, and managing cryptocurrency directly through the Trezor Suite. Explore advanced features like staking, portfolio tracking, and integration with third-party apps for a complete crypto management experience.
