Trezor.io/Start® — Getting Started With Your Device

The link you provided points to a Google Sites page, not the official trezor.io domain. So although its title uses Trezor branding, it should not be presented as the official Trezor Start page.

The genuine Trezor setup page is trezor.io/start. Trezor's official page guides new users through downloading Trezor Suite, installing it, connecting the hardware wallet, completing setup, and transferring supported assets.

Begin With Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the software interface used to connect and manage a Trezor hardware wallet. Trezor recommends downloading the desktop application from its official website or official GitHub release page.

Official Trezor Start

For desktop users, the official setup process is straightforward:

Trezor says the basic hardware-wallet setup takes approximately 15 minutes.

Verify the Software Source

This is especially important with cryptocurrency software because phishing pages can imitate official wallet websites.

Trezor specifically warns users about phishing websites appearing in search results and says Suite should be downloaded only from its official website or official GitHub releases.

Trezor Suite Official Download

If you're using Windows, Trezor currently lists Windows 10 64-bit or newer as supported. The same installation file works with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Connect and Check Your Device

After opening Trezor Suite, connect the hardware wallet using the appropriate cable. Suite guides you through the device-security check and setup process.

Don't rely on the appearance of a website alone to determine whether it is genuine. Before connecting your wallet through the browser, Trezor recommends checking that the address is exactly suite.trezor.io.

Protect Your Wallet Backup

Your wallet backup, sometimes called a recovery seed, is one of the most important pieces of information associated with your Trezor.

During setup, compatible Trezor devices display the backup words directly on the hardware device. You should write them down in the correct order and store them securely offline.

Never type your wallet backup into a Google Site, website, computer application, email, or chat.

Trezor explicitly states that the wallet backup should only be entered directly on the Trezor device when the device itself instructs you to do so.

Complete Device Security

After creating the wallet backup, the setup process can include configuring a PIN and other device settings. For example, Trezor's Model One setup includes firmware installation followed by PIN configuration.

Keep the physical device and backup information protected separately. Don't photograph or digitally store your recovery words unless Trezor's official instructions specifically support a particular secure backup method.

Desktop or Web Suite?

Trezor provides both desktop and browser-based versions of Suite.

The web application can be used at suite.trezor.io/web with supported Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera. Firefox and Safari aren't supported for the web application's USB connection because they lack the required WebUSB functionality.

For regular use, Trezor recommends the desktop or mobile applications because they provide additional functionality and performance benefits.

Move Supported Assets

Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite can be used to manage supported accounts and transactions. The application provides tools for viewing portfolios, sending and receiving assets, swapping supported cryptocurrencies, and managing device settings.

Before approving a transaction, carefully review the information displayed on your physical Trezor device.

Google Sites Link vs. Official Trezor

The distinction is important:

Your supplied link: sites.google.com/view/iostart-portals/home
 Official Trezor Start: trezor.io/start

The first is hosted on Google Sites and should not be described as an official Trezor website merely because it uses Trezor's name or logo.

The safest approach is to type the official Trezor address yourself or use a trusted bookmark rather than following unfamiliar wallet links from search results.

Final Takeaway

For a genuine Trezor setup, start at trezor.io/start, download Suite from an official Trezor source, connect your hardware wallet, and follow the device's instructions.

Most importantly, never provide your wallet backup, private keys, or sensitive credentials to a third-party website. Trezor states that Suite will never ask you to type your wallet backup into the application or a website
