Trezor.io/Start – Your Gateway to Secure Crypto Storage
Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your Trezor hardware wallet and protect your digital assets with military-grade security.
Unbox Your Trezor Device
Open the official Trezor packaging carefully. Inside, you’ll find:
- Trezor Model T or Model One device
- USB-C cable (Model T) or Micro-USB (Model One)
- Recovery seed cards (2x)
- Getting Started guide
- Trezor stickers
Verify the holographic seal is intact. If broken or missing, contact Trezor support immediately.
Visit the Official Site: trezor.io/start
Never download software from third-party sites. Always go directly to trezor.io/start in your browser.
- Type the URL manually or use a bookmark.
- Ensure the site shows a green padlock and valid SSL certificate.
- Avoid phishing links from emails or social media.
Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed online.
Install Trezor Bridge (If Required)
For desktop setup, Trezor Bridge enables communication between your device and browser.
- Click “Install Trezor Bridge” on trezor.io/start.
- Download the version for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
