Trezor.io/Start® | Starting™ Up Your Device | Trezór

Just received your Trezór™ hardware wallet? Congratulations! You’re now in possession of one of the most secure ways to manage and store your cryptocurrency. This step-by-step guide will walk you through everything you need to know about setting up your device through Trezor.io/Start®. Whether you're using a Trezor One™ or a Trezor Model T™, this guide will help you safely initialize your wallet and begin managing your digital assets with confidence.

Why Use a Trezór™ Wallet?

Trezór™ is a leader in the world of crypto security. By storing your private keys offline, Trezór protects your digital assets from online threats like phishing, viruses, and hackers. The wallet is fully open-source and trusted by millions around the world. Trezor.io/Start® is the official starting point to initialize your wallet securely and avoid any third-party risks.

Step 1: Verify Your Package

Begin by checking your device’s packaging. Every Trezór™ comes sealed in tamper-proof packaging. If the seal looks damaged or previously opened, do not use the device. Inside the box, you should find:

The Trezor™ device (Model T™ or Trezor One™)
USB cable
Recovery seed cards
User manual and stickers

Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/Start®

On your computer or smartphone, open a web browser and go directly to Trezor.io/Start®. Always type this address manually to avoid fake or malicious websites. This official portal helps guide you through device setup and firmware installation.

Step 3: Download Trezor Suite™

Trezor Suite™ is the official application used to manage your wallet and crypto accounts. It’s available for Windows®, macOS®, and Linux®. From Trezor.io/Start®, download the latest version and install it on your device. After installation, launch the app and connect your Trezór™ using the provided USB cable.

Step 4: Set Up a New Wallet

Once connected, choose “Create new wallet” when prompted. Your Trezór™ will generate a new recovery phrase — also known as your seed phrase. This is a randomly generated list of 12 or 24 words that acts as the backup to your wallet.

Step 5: Write Down Your Recovery Seed

The device will display your recovery words one at a time. Write them down carefully on the recovery sheet provided. Never take a photo or save this seed digitally. If anyone gains access to this seed, they can take full control of your wallet and funds.

Step 6: Confirm Your Recovery Words

After writing down the words, your Trezór™ will ask you to confirm selected words from the phrase to ensure you copied them correctly. Take your time. This is the most important step of the setup process.

Step 7: Set a Secure PIN

Next, set a secure PIN code on your device. This PIN is required every time you use the wallet. Choose a code that’s not easy to guess and don’t share it with anyone.

Step 8: Install Coin Wallets

With your wallet now secure, you can install wallets for specific cryptocurrencies using Trezor Suite™. Supported coins include Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, Litecoin®, and many others. Select the coins you want to manage and add them to your dashboard.

Step 9: Receive and Send Crypto

To receive crypto, select the coin, click “Receive,” and copy the address. Always verify the address on your Trezór™ screen to ensure it hasn’t been tampered with. To send crypto, enter the recipient’s address and confirm the transaction on the device itself.

Step 10: Security Tips

Only use software from official sources
Never share your recovery seed — with anyone
Enable passphrase protection for added security
Regularly update your firmware and Trezor Suite™
Use your Trezór™ on trusted computers only

Recovering Your Wallet

Lost your device? Don’t panic. As long as you have your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase, you can recover your wallet on any Trezór™ by choosing the “Recover wallet” option during setup and entering your phrase exactly.

Getting Support

If you encounter any problems, refer to the official help center available through Trezor.io or within the Trezor Suite™ app. Trezór™ does not offer phone support and will never ask for your recovery phrase. Be cautious of online scams and fake support channels.

Conclusion

Setting up your Trezór™ through Trezor.io/Start® is a simple yet powerful step toward owning your financial freedom. With your device initialized, recovery phrase secured, and apps installed, you’re ready to safely manage your crypto. Take your time, follow best practices, and never compromise on security.
