Why start at trezor.io/start?
When you unbox a new Trezor® Hardware Wallet or revisit your security setup, trezor.io/start is the single most important URL to use. It centralizes verified links to the official Trezor® Suite App, the Trezor® Bridge utility, up-to-date firmware instructions, and step-by-step onboarding. Using this official hub prevents falling for phishing clones, fake installers, or scam documentation that could compromise your device or recovery seed.
What happens during setup?
Follow the instructions on trezor.io/start to download the correct Trezor® Suite Download for your operating system. The Suite guides you through device initialization: installing firmware if needed, setting a secure PIN, and generating the recovery seed (12–24 words). The seed is the only reliable backup of your private keys — write it down on paper or a certified seed backup and store it offline. Never photograph or type the seed into an online form.
Trezor® Suite vs Trezor® Bridge
The Trezor® Suite App is the full-featured management application for accounts, transactions, portfolio monitoring, and firmware verification. Most users will prefer the desktop Suite. The Trezor® Bridge acts as a lightweight communication layer for browser-based Suite sessions and some legacy setups; if your device isn’t detected in a browser, the Trezor® Bridge Download from trezor.io/start typically resolves the problem.
Common login and connection issues
Search queries like “Trezor Login not working”, “Unable to login Trezor” or “Error Connecting Trezor Account” are frequent. Most problems are environmental and solvable with a short checklist:
- Ensure the device is unlocked (enter the PIN) and firmware is current via Suite.
- Swap the USB cable and try different ports; avoid unpowered hubs.
- Reinstall or update Trezor® Suite and, if necessary, Trezor® Bridge; reboot the computer.
- Disable browser extensions, VPNs, or antivirus temporarily that might block USB/WebUSB.
- Clear your browser cache if using the web Suite and ensure your browser supports WebUSB.
Account recovery and 2FA guidance
If your device is lost or damaged, restore your wallet using your recovery seed on another Trezor® or a compatible BIP39/SLIP39-capable wallet. There is no Trezor®-managed “2fa reset” that bypasses the seed — two-factor authentication tied to third-party services must be handled through those services. Always treat the recovery seed as the highest-sensitivity secret.
When to contact Trezor® Help Center
If the troubleshooting checklist fails — you see repeated firmware errors, persistent disconnects, or suspect hardware malfunction — gather Suite logs and contact the Trezor® Help Center. Provide model and firmware details; support can guide you through diagnostics or RMA options but will never request your seed.

Open trezor.io/start, select your device model, download the official Trezor® Suite, and follow the on-screen initialization steps.
