Step-by-Step Guide to Trezor.io/start

  1. Unbox Your Trezor Device

    When you receive your Trezor hardware wallet, carefully unbox it and make sure all components are included. Typically, your package will contain the Trezor device, a USB cable, and a recovery seed card.

  2. Connect Your Trezor

    Connect your Trezor wallet to your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Visit Trezor.io/start to begin the setup process. This official website will guide you through the necessary steps to initialize your device.

  3. Install Trezor Bridge

    For optimal performance, you may need to install Trezor Bridge, a software component that ensures smooth communication between your Trezor device and the Trezor web application. Follow the prompts on the Trezor.io/start page to download and install Trezor Bridge.

  4. Initialize Your Trezor

    Once Trezor Bridge is installed, return to Trezor.io/start and follow the instructions to initialize your device. You’ll be prompted to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Choose "Create a new wallet" if this is your first time setting up your Trezor.

  5. Set Up a PIN

    During initialization, you will need to set up a PIN code. This code adds an extra layer of security by ensuring that only you can access your wallet. Enter and confirm your PIN on the Trezor device when prompted.

  6. Write Down Your Recovery Seed

    Trezor will generate a recovery seed consisting of 12 to 24 words. This seed is crucial for recovering your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write down this seed on the provided card and store it in a safe place. Do not store it digitally to avoid potential security risks.

  7. Confirm Your Seed

    To ensure that you have correctly noted your recovery seed, Trezor will ask you to confirm it. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your seed.

  8. Start Using Your Wallet

    Once setup is complete, you can start using your Trezor wallet to manage your cryptocurrency. You can add accounts, transfer funds, and explore additional features directly through the Trezor web interface.
