Common questions about Trezor.io/start and device setup
Trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for all Trezor hardware wallets. It provides step-by-step instructions tailored to your specific device (Trezor Model T or Trezor One) and guides you through the entire initialization process, including firmware installation, wallet creation, and security setup. Using the official start page ensures you're following verified procedures and not falling victim to phishing attempts.
Yes, for the best experience, we recommend downloading Trezor Suite desktop application. If you prefer using the web version, you'll need to install Trezor Bridge to enable communication between your browser and Trezor device. The setup process at Trezor.io/start will guide you to the appropriate downloads based on your preferred method.
Trezor doesn't use traditional username/password login. Access to your wallet is secured by physical possession of your Trezor device. When you connect your device and open Trezor Suite, you'll be prompted to enter your PIN directly on the device. For enhanced security, you can also set up passphrase protection. This ensures that even if someone steals your device, they cannot access your funds without the PIN.
Yes, Trezor Suite is available as a mobile app for both iOS and Android devices. The mobile app provides essential portfolio management features and supports Bluetooth connection with Trezor Model T (requires firmware 2.4.3 or later). For full functionality, including exchange features and all supported cryptocurrencies, we recommend using the desktop version of Trezor Suite.
If you cannot access Trezor.io/start, you can always download Trezor Suite directly from trezor.io/trezor-suite or use the web version at suite.trezor.io. The setup wizard within Trezor Suite will guide you through the same process. Always verify you're on official Trezor domains to avoid phishing sites.
