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

Welcome to Trezor®, one of the world’s most trusted hardware wallets for safely managing your cryptocurrencies. Whether you’ve just purchased your Trezor Model One or the advanced Trezor Model T, the first step toward taking control of your crypto is setting up your device properly.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through the initial setup process using Trezór.io/Start®, the official starting point for all Trezor users. You’ll learn how to initialize your device, create a secure recovery seed, and begin managing your assets with full confidence and control.

🚀 What Is Trezór.io/Start®?

Trezór.io/Start® is the official onboarding portal for new Trezor users. It ensures that you’re downloading legitimate software, following secure steps, and avoiding scams or counterfeit instructions. From here, you’ll be directed to install Trezor Suite, the official application for managing your crypto through your hardware wallet.

👉 Only use Trezór.io/Start® to set up your device. Never trust third-party websites, ads, or suspicious links — your security starts with verified sources.

📦 What You Need to Begin

Before you get started, prepare the following:

  • ✅ Your Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
  • ✅ A computer with internet access (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
  • ✅ A USB cable to connect your device
  • ✅ A secure environment — free from prying eyes and cameras
  • ✅ A pen and the Recovery Seed card that came with your device

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Follow these steps to initialize your Trezor device safely:

1️⃣ Visit Trezór.io/Start®

Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. You’ll be guided through selecting your device model and downloading Trezor Suite, the official app used to interact with your wallet.

Download the Trezor Suite Desktop App for your operating system and install it. Alternatively, you can use Trezor Suite Web, but the desktop version is generally recommended for enhanced security.

2️⃣ Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable. The app will detect your device and guide you through the setup process.

If this is your first time using the device, you’ll be prompted to install firmware. Trezor ships without firmware for security reasons — this ensures that it hasn’t been tampered with before your first use.

3️⃣ Create a New Wallet

Once the firmware is installed and verified, click “Create New Wallet.” Your Trezor device will now generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. This is the most important part of your setup.

📢 Important: Write the seed down by hand on the provided Recovery Card. Never take a picture or store it digitally. Anyone with this phrase can access your wallet.

You’ll be asked to confirm the seed phrase by re-entering it in the correct order on your device. This ensures you’ve written it down correctly.

4️⃣ Set a PIN Code

Next, you’ll create a PIN code for local security. This code will be required every time you plug in your Trezor. Make sure it's hard to guess and do not reuse PINs from other accounts or devices.

5️⃣ (Optional) Enable Advanced Features

  • Passphrase protection: Add an extra word known only to you for creating hidden wallets.
  • Shamir Backup (Model T only): Split your seed phrase into multiple shares for added redundancy.
  • Labeling and naming wallets: For better portfolio organization.

💼 What’s Next?

Congratulations! You’ve now initialized your Trezor device and can begin managing your crypto assets.

With Trezor Suite, you can:

  • 📥 Receive crypto securely
  • 📤 Send transactions with physical confirmation
  • 📈 Monitor your portfolio in real-time
  • 🔄 Buy, sell, and swap coins within the app
  • 🌱 Stake supported coins
  • 🧱 Manage NFTs and tokens on supported blockchains

All of this while your private keys stay offline and inaccessible to attackers.

🔐 Security Tips

  • Always lock up your recovery seed in a fireproof and waterproof location.
  • Never share your PIN or seed — not even with Trezor support.
  • Bookmark trezor.io to avoid phishing websites.
  • Regularly update Trezor Suite and your device firmware for the latest features and patches.
  • Avoid setting up your wallet in public places or over unsecured networks.

⚠️ Avoiding Scams

As crypto grows, so do threats. Here’s how to stay safe:

  • Ignore emails or messages claiming to be from “Trezor Support” asking for your seed.
  • Only use the official Trezor Suite app and bookmark Trezór.io/Start® for future device setups.
  • Never enter your recovery phrase on any website or keyboard.
  • Double-check your device screen for addresses when sending crypto — this helps prevent malware-based address swaps.
