What to Do After Visiting Trezor.io/Start


After reaching Trezor.io/Start, many users wonder what comes next. This guide walks you through everything you need to do after visiting Trezor.io/Start to securely set up your Trezor hardware wallet, whether it's Model One or Model T. Following these steps ensures a smooth, secure onboarding experience.

1. Download Trezor Suite

Once you land on Trezor.io/Start, the first action is downloading Trezor Suite — the official desktop app for managing your crypto wallet.

  • Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  • Click the download button and complete the installation.
  • This app will be your control center going forward.

Important: Do not use third-party apps. Trezor.io/Start only links to the official installer, which ensures safety and integrity.

2. Install and Launch the App

After downloading, install Trezor Suite. Once installation finishes, launch the app.

  • The app will detect your connected Trezor device.
  • If not detected, make sure your USB cable is working and your device is unlocked.
  • If you’re using the web version, ensure Trezor Bridge is installed and running in the background.

Installing the app directly after Trezor.io/Start ensures you remain in a secure, guided environment.

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug in your Trezor via USB. You’ll see instructions on both your computer screen and your Trezor’s display.

  • Confirm the connection on your hardware device.
  • Use only the USB cable that came with your Trezor or a high-quality data cable.
  • Do not proceed if any warnings or error messages appear.

This is the first step in securely linking your wallet to Trezor Suite after visiting Trezor.io/Start.

4. Install the Latest Firmware

If your device is new or hasn't been updated, you'll be prompted to install firmware.

  • Trezor devices ship without firmware for security reasons.
  • Follow on-screen instructions and confirm actions on your device.
  • Do not disconnect your Trezor until the update is complete.

Installing firmware is one of the most important steps after visiting Trezor.io/Start to ensure functionality and protection.

5. Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One

After firmware setup:

  • Choose “Create new wallet” to start fresh.
  • Or select “Recover wallet” if you're restoring from a recovery seed.
  • Follow prompts carefully on both your screen and device.

Be sure to never share or photograph your recovery seed. This part of the process after Trezor.io/Start is critical for long-term asset protection.

6. Write Down and Secure Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor will now display a set of 12, 18, or 24 words. This is your recovery seed.

  • Write them down by hand, in order.
  • Store them in a secure, offline location.
  • Do not save this digitally or in cloud storage.

This seed is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Taking this step seriously is non-negotiable after visiting Trezor.io/Start.

7. Set a PIN for Your Device

You'll be prompted to set a PIN.

  • Choose a number that's difficult to guess.
  • Use your device screen to confirm the PIN (not your computer).
  • Re-enter to confirm.

This adds a physical layer of protection every time you plug in your wallet.

8. Explore the Trezor Suite Dashboard

Once setup is complete, you'll be taken to the Trezor Suite home screen.

  • Add wallets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported coins.
  • Review your portfolio or check transaction history.
  • Access tools like coin swaps, staking, and security settings.

Now that you've completed all steps after Trezor.io/Start, you're fully equipped to use your device.

9. Regularly Check for Updates

Even after setup, stay proactive:

  • Open Trezor Suite regularly to check for firmware or app updates.
  • Follow any alerts or reminders from Trezor Suite.
  • Visit Trezor.io/Start in the future if you need updated tools or guides.

Security evolves—keeping your device up to date is an ongoing responsibility.
