trezor.io/start is the official onboarding portal for Trezor® hardware wallets. This dedicated setup page provides step-by-step instructions tailored to your specific Trezor® model (Trezor One or Trezor Model T), guiding you through the initial configuration process to ensure your cryptocurrency assets are secured from the very beginning.
1 Connect Your Device: Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor® to your computer or mobile device.
2 Install Firmware: The setup wizard will automatically install the latest firmware, providing you with the most up-to-date security features.
3 Create Backup: You'll generate a unique recovery seed phrase—the most critical security element that allows you to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
4 Set PIN: Establish a PIN code that will be required every time you connect your Trezor® device, adding an extra layer of security.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop application that serves as the interface for your Trezor® device. After completing the initial setup at trezor.io/start, you'll want to download Trezor Suite for the full experience. The Trezor Suite download is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
For mobile users, the Trezor Suite app provides portfolio tracking and limited management capabilities on iOS and Android devices, though transactions still require physical confirmation on your hardware device.
Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables communication between your Trezor® device and web browsers. While not needed if you exclusively use the desktop Suite application, it's required for browser-based access. The Trezor Bridge login process happens automatically once installed, creating a secure channel for your device to communicate with supported web interfaces.
The Trezor login process is designed with security as the priority. Unlike traditional logins that use passwords, accessing your Trezor® requires physical interaction with the device. Each time you connect your Trezor®, you'll be prompted to enter your PIN directly on the device's display, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your credentials remain secure.
For transactions, you'll physically confirm and verify details on your Trezor® device's screen before any funds can be moved, providing a critical layer of protection against malware and phishing attempts.
