Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I access trezor.io/start?

This could be due to browser compatibility issues, network restrictions, or temporary service maintenance. Try using Chrome/Firefox, check your internet connection, or visit the main TrezorĀ® website for status updates. Ensure you're using the correct URL without typos.

Do I need to use trezor.io/start every time I want to access my wallet?

No. The trezor.io/start portal is only for initial device setup. For regular access, use Trezor Suite (desktop or web version) and the standard Trezor login process with your device and PIN.

What's the difference between the web and desktop versions of Trezor Suite?

The web version is accessible through browsers but requires Trezor Bridge for device communication. The desktop application (via Trezor Suite download) offers enhanced security, better performance, and additional features like coin control and labeling.

I lost my recovery seed from the initial setup. What should I do?

If you've lost your recovery seed, immediately transfer your funds to a temporary wallet, reset your TrezorĀ® device, and go through trezor.io/start again to generate a new seed. Without the recovery seed, you cannot recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged.

Can I use trezor.io/start on mobile devices?

The trezor.io/start process is designed for desktop computers with USB connectivity. For mobile access, you'll need USB OTG adapters (Android) or use the companion app with supported models. The desktop setup is recommended for initial configuration.

How do I know if my Trezor Bridge installation was successful?

Successful Trezor Bridge login and installation is indicated when your TrezorĀ® device is recognized by the web interface. If connection issues persist, visit the TrezorĀ® knowledge base for specific troubleshooting steps for your operating system.
