Trezor.io/Start® is the official setup gateway for Trezor devices. It guides you through secure initialization, including creating a login, backing up recovery seed, and installing communication software (Bridge).
Trezor Login is your local credential (PIN / password) to access device functions. Trezor Bridge is the software that enables your browser to communicate with the device. Trezor Suite is the application interface for managing crypto, viewing portfolio, and interacting securely with blockchain networks.
If your Trezor device is lost or damaged, you can restore your wallet with your recovery seed (24 words) on another Trezor or compatible wallet. Always keep your seed safe and private.
Using Trezor on public computers is risky because malware or keyloggers may be present. While the private keys remain on the device, compromised software or browser extensions could trick the interface. It’s safer to use trusted machines.
You should check firmware updates whenever new versions are released, and periodically verify your device’s health (self-test, seed validation) to ensure integrity. Doing this monthly or before large transactions is a good habit.
