trezor.io/start — Official Trezor Suite Quick Start & Secure Setup

Follow the official TREZOR.IO/START flow to get your hardware wallet set up safely. This guide shows you how to download the verified Trezor Suite, install it, connect your device, migrate funds and follow security best practices — all in simple, trustworthy steps.

Quick start — 4 steps

  1. Download Trezor Suite: Open the official web app or download the desktop installer at suite.trezor.io.
  2. Install (desktop optional): Run the installer for Windows, macOS or Linux. The web Suite also works in modern browsers.
  3. Connect & configure: Plug in your Trezor device, set a PIN, create a recovery seed and follow the guided setup inside Suite.
  4. Secure & transfer: Keep your seed offline, verify firmware via Suite, then transfer funds from exchanges to your device for safe self-custody.

Estimated time: 10–20 minutes. Official source: trezor.io/start.

Why use TREZOR.IO/START?

The official start flow removes guesswork. It prevents common mistakes — like downloading fake installers, skipping backups, or installing outdated drivers (such as legacy Trezor Bridge). Using the official Suite ensures you get verified downloads, automatic firmware checks, and in-app security guidance.

Verified downloads

Only download Suite and firmware from trezor.io or suite.trezor.io. These pages provide signed releases and checksums to validate authenticity.

Guided onboarding

Trezor Suite walks you step-by-step through PIN setup, recovery seed creation and firmware verification — designed for both new users and advanced custodians.

Detailed setup — download, install, connect

1. Download

Visit suite.trezor.io and choose "Open in browser" or pick the desktop installer for your OS. Desktop is recommended for stability if you plan to manage assets frequently.

2. Install

Run the installer and follow prompts. If you previously installed the standalone Trezor Bridge, uninstall it first to avoid conflicts with native Suite drivers.

3. Connect

Plug your Trezor into a direct USB port (avoid hubs). Suite will detect your device, prompt for firmware checks and guide you through secure setup. Only confirm transactions on your Trezor device screen.

4. Secure your seed

Write down your recovery seed exactly as shown, store it offline, and never share it. Trezor will never ask for your seed online — that is the single most important rule for self-custody.

Troubleshooting & common fixes

  • Not detected: try a different USB cable or port, ensure Suite is up to date, restart your system.
  • Bridge conflicts: remove legacy Trezor Bridge installs if present; Suite handles connectivity natively.
  • Firmware prompt: only update firmware inside Suite and verify you have your seed backed up.
  • Browser problems: use desktop Suite for reliable connectivity or an up-to-date Chromium-based browser for the web Suite.

Security best practices

  • Always download from trezor.io or suite.trezor.io.
  • Never enter your recovery seed on a computer or phone.
  • Store your recovery seed offline in multiple secure locations.
  • Confirm firmware and app updates only via the official Suite interface.
  • Consider using a metal backup for long-term seed durability.
