Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for Trezor hardware wallets. It provides device-specific, step-by-step instructions for initializing your Trezor®, installing firmware, creating a wallet, and setting up your recovery seed.

Do I need to install any software before setup?

For web browser setup, you may need to install Trezor Bridge, which enables communication between your Trezor® and browser. The setup page will prompt you if this is required. Alternatively, you can use Trezor Suite desktop application which includes all necessary components.

What if I lose my recovery seed?

If you lose your recovery seed and your device is lost, damaged, or wiped, your cryptocurrencies will be permanently inaccessible. There is no way to recover funds without the seed phrase. This is why securely storing your recovery seed is critically important.

Can I use Trezor.io/start on mobile?

While the Trezor.io/start website is mobile-responsive, the setup process requires connecting your Trezor® via USB. For Android devices, you can use a USB OTG adapter. iOS has limited support due to Apple's restrictions, so desktop setup is recommended.

What happens if setup is interrupted?

If setup is interrupted (especially during firmware installation), your device may enter bootloader mode. Simply reconnect it and visit Trezor.io/start again to resume the process. In rare cases, you may need to use the Trezor Recovery tool available in Trezor Suite.

Is my recovery seed stored anywhere?

No, your recovery seed is only displayed on your Trezor® device screen during setup and is never transmitted to your computer or stored online. You are solely responsible for writing it down and storing it securely offline.
