Why begin at trezor.io/start?
trezor.io/start is the official, security-first entry page for Trezor® Hardware Wallet owners. It centralizes verified downloads, firmware notes and step-by-step setup instructions so you never rely on third-party mirrors that can host malicious software. Always starting here minimizes the risk of phishing, fake downloads or instructions that would jeopardize your recovery phrase.
Overview — Trezor® Wallet & Hardware essentials
The Trezor® Wallet is a hardware wallet that keeps your private keys offline. Designed for both beginners and advanced users, a Trezor® device signs transactions locally and requires physical confirmation for sensitive actions. This approach prevents remote compromise: even if a computer is infected, attackers cannot extract your seed from the hardware.
Install Trezor® Suite & Bridge
From trezor.io/start choose the Trezor® Suite Download that matches your operating system. The Suite App is the recommended manager for accounts, firmware updates and transaction signing. If you use a browser interface, you may need Trezor® Bridge — a tiny local helper that links the browser to the device. If your browser doesn’t detect the wallet, reinstall the Trezor® Bridge from the official page and restart the browser.
Login flow and common connection errors
Trezor® login differs from web logins — there is no cloud username or password. To access a Trezor® Wallet you connect the device and enter the PIN directly on the hardware. Common problems like Trezor® login not working or Unable to login Trezor® often trace to faulty USB cables, outdated Bridge, browser permissions or antivirus interference. Try a direct USB port, reinstall Bridge, or use the desktop Suite to isolate the issue.
Troubleshooting: Error Connecting & Can't verify
Messages such as “Error Connecting Trezor® Account” or “Can’t verify Trezor® Wallet” usually indicate a mismatch between device firmware and Suite, or that the website in the browser is not the official domain. Stop, verify you visited trezor.io/start, update device firmware using Suite, and then reconnect. If problems persist, test on a second computer to determine whether the issue is local.
Account recovery & 2FA notes
If a device is lost or damaged, recover your accounts using the 12- or 24-word recovery phrase created during setup. Never enter recovery words on websites or share them. For Trezor® 2FA reset issues tied to third-party services (exchanges, apps), you must request resets from those platforms — Trezor® secures keys but does not manage external 2FA systems.
