How to Start at Trezor.io/start
Power on your Trezor device.
Open Trezor.io/start in a secure browser.
Select your device model: Model One or Model T.
Download and install Trezor Suite on your computer or mobile device.
Launch Trezor Suite and choose Set up as new device or Recover existing wallet.

Creating a New Wallet
Set a secure PIN directly on your Trezor device.
A recovery seed will appear on the screen. Write it down carefully and store it offline.
Confirm the recovery seed on the device to finish the setup.
This ensures you can restore your wallet if the device is lost, damaged, or stolen.
Restoring an Existing Wallet
If you already have a recovery seed:
Select Recover wallet during setup.
Enter your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed exactly as shown.
Trezor Suite will sync your accounts and show balances.
Install the required apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage.
Always enter your recovery seed only on your Trezor device, never on a computer, phone, or online.
Managing Cryptocurrency with Trezor Suite
After completing setup via Trezor.io/start, Trezor Suite allows you to:
Monitor portfolio balances and value in real time.
Add and manage multiple cryptocurrency accounts.
Send and receive digital assets securely, with device confirmation.
Install blockchain apps directly on your hardware wallet.
Swap, trade, or exchange supported coins safely.
Every transaction must be physically approved on the Trezor device to maintain full security.
