How to Get Started with Trezor.io/start®?

The Trezor.io/start® page is the primary portal where users can begin the setup of their Trezor device. It's an easy-to-navigate platform that guides you through all the necessary steps to get your wallet up and running.

Step 1: Unboxing Your Trezor Device

When you receive your Trezor hardware wallet, you’ll notice the device comes in a secure box. Make sure that the box is sealed and undamaged, ensuring the device’s authenticity.

• Check the security seals.
• Make sure the device has not been tampered with.

Step 2: Connecting Your Trezor to a Computer

Once your Trezor device is unboxed and you have verified that it is authentic, the next step is connecting it to your computer.

• Plug your Trezor into an available USB port.
• Navigate to Trezor.io/start® in your browser.

Step 3: Installing Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is a necessary software component that allows your browser to communicate with the Trezor device. Without it, your device cannot function correctly.

• Download and install Trezor Bridge from the official website.
• Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

Creating Your Trezor Wallet

Once the Trezor device is connected and the Trezor Bridge is installed, it’s time to create your cryptocurrency wallet.

Step 4: Initializing the Wallet

Now that your Trezor device is properly connected to your computer, Trezor.io/start® will guide you through the process of initializing your wallet.

• Choose your language.
• Set up a strong PIN to secure your device.

Step 5: Writing Down Your Recovery Seed

One of the most important steps in setting up your Trezor wallet is creating a recovery seed. This is a 12- or 24-word phrase that is used to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

• Write the recovery seed down on paper, ensuring it’s stored in a safe location.
• Never store your seed on your computer or online.
