Welcome to Your Trézor® Device Setup

Congratulations on choosing a Trézor® device! In this guide, we'll walk you through the important first steps—starting your device, setting up Trezor® Bridge®, logging in with Trezor Login, and using the full power of Trezor Suite. Whether you're starting with Trezor Io Start or already familiar with Trezor Bridge, this walkthrough will help you confidently launch your experience.

The overall process is simple yet secure: connect your device, install the Trezor® Bridge® software on your computer, open the Trezor Suite interface, and log in. We'll cover each stage in detail below.

Step 1: Connect Your Device and Initialize

Tip:

If you’re using Trezor Io Start for the first time, be sure to close any other wallet or browser plugins that could interfere with Trezor® Bridge®. Ensure you have a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) for best compatibility.

Step 2: Installing and Verifying Trezor® Bridge®

Once installed, open the Trezor® Bridge® application or verify it’s running in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (macOS). Then:

  1. Visit Trézor.io/Start® again to detect your device.
  2. If prompted, allow permissions so the site can communicate via the Trezor® Bridge® layer.
  3. Wait for the device’s status to show as “Connected” before moving on.

Did You Know?

The Trezor Suite interface is clean and user‑friendly, guiding you step‑by‑step.

Why Use Trezor Suite?

The application integrates advanced features—such as label organization, improved transaction tracking, portfolio summaries, and real‑time exchange rate displays—making it the central hub of your hardware wallet experience.

Step 4: Using Trezor Login for Authentication

To access third‑party services that support hardware wallet authentication, you may use Trezor Login. With Trezor Login, you can securely authenticate to supported web services without revealing private keys or passwords.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Navigate to a website that offers support for Trezor Login.
  2. Select the option to log in with Trezor.
  3. Connect your device, open Trezor® Bridge®, and confirm on‑device the authentication challenge.

This method ensures your private keys never leave your Trézor hardware—but you can still securely authenticate with your favorite platforms.

Key Benefits:

- No passwords stored online
- Resistant to phishing and keylogging
- Fast, secure access across supported applications

Step 5: Completing Initial Setup

After using Trezor Suite and optionally Trezor Login, your device is fully ready. Review settings, ensure firmware is current, and test a small crypto transaction for peace of mind.

Remember, whenever you want to manage assets or authenticate with services, repeat—connect your device; ensure Trezor® Bridge® is running; open Trezor Suite or trigger Trezor Login.
