Overview (H2)
Trezor.io/start is the secure launchpad for setting up your Trezor Hardware Wallet. It detects your model, provides verified downloads of Trezor Suite, checks firmware, and—where needed—offers Trezor Bridge so your computer can talk to the device. Always enter the address manually or use a bookmark to avoid phishing.
Walkthrough: Setting Up via Trezor.io/start (H2)
1Unbox & Inspect (H3)
Check packaging integrity before connecting the device. If anything looks tampered with, contact support.
2Go to Trezor.io/start (H3)
Type the URL directly. Choose your model and download the correct Trezor Suite installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

4Add Trezor Bridge if prompted (H3)

5Create Wallet & Secure the Phrase (H3)
Generate a new wallet on the device. Write the 12/18/24‑word recovery phrase on paper or steel. Never digitize or share it.

In Suite, use Receive, confirm the address on the device screen, and make a small test transaction first.
Security Notes (H2)

- Consider a passphrase for an additional hidden wallet—only if you can reliably reproduce it.
