Overview — why use trezor.io/start
trezor.io/start is the official entry point for setting up any Trezor® Hardware Wallet. It provides a guided, security-first flow to verify your device, install the recommended software, and create the recovery seed that will protect your funds. Using this authorized start page eliminates most phishing risks: the site points you to genuine downloads for Trezor® Suite and, when required, the Trezor Bridge utility — both essential to a secure setup.
Downloads: Trezor® Suite & Trezor Bridge
The Trezor® Suite App is the official wallet manager that runs on desktop and as a web interface. From trezor.io/start
you can access the correct Trezor Suite Download for Windows, macOS or Linux. Some systems or older device models require Trezor Bridge — a small helper program that enables browser-to-device communication. Always download both Suite and Bridge only from the official start page to avoid malicious or tampered installers.
- Trezor Suite App: Manage accounts, update firmware, and confirm transactions on-device.
- Trezor Bridge: Required for some browser integrations; install from the official page when prompted.
Access model: Trezor® login & wallet authorisation
Unlike web-only wallets, a Trezor® Wallet Login depends on the physical device. Connect your Trezor®, open Trezor® Suite, and enter your PIN directly on the device. The Suite coordinates with the hardware to present transaction details, but all signing happens inside the device. If you use an optional passphrase, it becomes a second factor for deriving additional accounts — treat it like a second secret and keep it safe.
Troubleshooting: common connectivity & login issues
Searches such as “Trezor Login not working”, “Unable to login Trezor”, or “Error Connecting Trezor Account” are frequent. Try this practical checklist first:
- Confirm you started at
trezor.io/start
and installed official Suite/Bridge.
- Swap to a known-good USB data cable and try another port (charge-only cables fail).
- Update firmware via Suite when prompted — mismatched firmware can block access.
- Clear browser cache or reinstall the Trezor® Suite App if the web interface misbehaves.
- Test the device on a different computer to isolate OS or driver issues.
If you see “Can’t verify Trezor Wallet” during setup, stop and follow the authenticity verification steps on trezor.io/start
— that warning often prevents proceeding with an untrusted device.
Account recovery & 2FA considerations
Trezor® account recovery relies exclusively on your recovery seed (12–24 words). If your device is lost or damaged, restore your wallet on a new device using that phrase. Trezor® does not manage third-party two-factor authentication — when people reference “Trezor 2FA reset” they usually mean resetting 2FA on an exchange or service; follow that service’s recovery process. Never disclose your recovery seed to support staff or enter it into a website.
Trezor® Help Center & when to escalate
If the basic checklist fails — persistent disconnections, firmware that won’t update, or unexpected device behavior — collect Suite logs and contact the official Trezor® Help Center. Provide precise error messages and the steps you already attempted; support can walk you through advanced diagnostics or RMA options if your device is demonstrably defective.
