Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is trezor.io/start the official setup page?

Yes, 100%. It is the only official web app provided by SatoshiLabs to initialize or recover any Trezor device (Model One, Model T, Safe 3, Safe 5).

2. My Trezor says “Visit trezor.io/start” but nothing happens. What now?

Make sure you are using the latest version of Trezor Suite (desktop or browser). Clear cache or try a different browser (Chrome/Firefox recommended). Never use third-party links.

3. Can I set up my Trezor without visiting trezor.io/start?

No. New devices require firmware installation and seed creation only through the official web app at trezor.io/start for security reasons.

4. Is it safe to use trezor.io/start on public Wi-Fi?

Yes. The site uses HTTPS and never asks for your seed. However, always double-check the green padlock and exact URL to avoid phishing clones.

5. Do I need to download anything else besides Trezor Suite?

No. Just go to trezor.io/start in your browser, and it will guide you to download or open the official Trezor Suite app automatically.
