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

In a digital era where cryptocurrency is becoming the backbone of financial freedom, security has never been more important. Trezor® is a trusted leader in the world of crypto security, offering advanced hardware wallets designed to protect your digital assets. If you’ve just unboxed your Trezor® device, this guide—titled ®Starting Up Your Device®—will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Whether you're using the Trezor Model One® or the more advanced Trezor Model T®, this guide will help you confidently begin your crypto security journey through Trezór.io/Start®.

What is Trezor®?

Trezor® is a hardware wallet—a physical device used to store cryptocurrency securely offline. Unlike software wallets connected to the internet (also known as hot wallets), hardware wallets provide an air-gapped, highly secure solution for protecting your private keys.

Your Trezor® is more than just a wallet; it is your personal fortress for managing digital assets like Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, Litecoin®, and thousands of other tokens with full control and no third-party risk.

Step 1: Open the Box and Inspect Your Device

Before heading to Trezór.io/Start®, open the package carefully. Inside you’ll find:

  • Your Trezor® device
  • USB cable
  • Recovery seed cards
  • User manual or quick start guide
  • Trezor® hologram seal (check it for authenticity)

Make sure everything is intact and the device shows no signs of tampering. Trezor® devices are delivered without firmware installed to prevent manipulation.

Step 2: Visit Trezór.io/Start®

On your computer or phone, open a browser and type Trezór.io/Start® into the address bar. This official starting point will guide you to install Trezor Suite®, the desktop app that interacts with your device. The site ensures you're downloading the correct software directly from the manufacturer.

Avoid searching for links on search engines. Instead, type the address directly to avoid phishing scams.

Step 3: Connect and Install Firmware

Connect your Trezor® to your computer using the USB cable. Trezor Suite® will recognize that your device is connected and prompt you to install the firmware.

  • This step is essential: devices are shipped without firmware for maximum protection.
  • Only install firmware from within the Trezor Suite® interface.

Once installed, the device will restart, preparing itself for wallet setup.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

Now it's time to create your wallet. Choose the “Create new wallet” option. Your Trezor® will generate a recovery seed phrase—a unique list of 12 or 24 words.

This phrase is the single most important security element. Write it down by hand on the provided seed card. Never take a photo or save it digitally.

Your recovery seed allows you to restore access to your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Trezor® never stores your seed—you are the only one who has access to it.

Step 5: Confirm and Back Up

Once you’ve recorded your recovery seed, Trezor Suite® will prompt you to confirm it. This double-check ensures no mistakes were made in writing it down.

Do not skip this step. A wrong or misplaced word can make recovery impossible.

Store your recovery seed in a secure place—ideally in a fireproof, waterproof, and private location.

Step 6: Set Your PIN Code

Next, choose a strong PIN code to protect your device. This step adds a layer of security in case your device is ever accessed physically.

  • Avoid simple PINs like "1234" or repeated digits.
  • Make sure it’s something you’ll remember but difficult for others to guess.

For extra protection, you can enable a passphrase feature, adding a custom word or sentence to your recovery setup. This adds a second layer of protection to your crypto storage.

Step 7: Explore Trezor Suite®

With your device secured, you can now explore the full features of Trezor Suite®:

  • Send and receive coins
  • Create multiple accounts
  • Track portfolio performance
  • Use third-party integrations like exchanges
  • Label transactions for bookkeeping

Trezor Suite® offers a sleek, intuitive interface designed for both beginners and advanced users.

Security Best Practices

  • Only use Trezór.io/Start® or the official Trezor® site for downloads and setup.
  • Keep your recovery seed offline and hidden.
  • Update your firmware and software regularly.
  • Verify all transaction details on your device screen before confirming.

Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone, under any circumstances.

Final Thoughts

The setup may seem cautious and detailed—and that’s by design. In a decentralized world, you are your own bank. And with Trezor®, you're securing your financial freedom the right way.
