Welcome to Trezór.io/Start®, the official gateway to securely starting your Trezór® crypto hardware wallet. Whether you are new to cryptocurrencies or a seasoned user, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to begin managing your digital assets safely.
Trezór® is a leading hardware wallet brand designed to keep your cryptocurrency private keys offline and protected from online threats. By storing your keys in a secure physical device, Trezór® ensures that hackers cannot access your funds, even if your computer is compromised.
Your Trezór® device is the cornerstone of your crypto security, acting as a hardware key that authorizes transactions without exposing your sensitive information to the internet.
Maximum Security: Your private keys never leave the device.
User-Friendly: Easy-to-use interface and setup.
Compatibility: Supports thousands of cryptocurrencies.
Recovery Protection: Backup with a recovery seed phrase.
Open Source: Transparent and trusted technology.
Before starting, make sure you have:
A genuine Trezór® device (Model One or Model T).
A computer or smartphone with internet access.
The official USB cable that comes with your device.
Pen and paper to write down your recovery seed.
Access to the official Trezór® website at https://trezor.io/start.
When you receive your Trezór® device, carefully check the packaging for any signs of tampering. Trezór® packages come sealed with tamper-evident stickers to ensure your device hasn’t been compromised.
If you notice anything suspicious, do not use the device and contact official support immediately.
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezór® device to your computer or compatible smartphone.
For desktop users, open a supported browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
Visit https://trezor.io/start, which will detect your device and guide you through setup.
Mobile users can use USB OTG cables or Bluetooth (for certain models) with the Trezór® Mobile app.
To communicate securely with your Trezór®, you will need to install either:
Trezór Bridge: a background service that enables browser-device communication.
Trezór Suite: a dedicated app for managing your wallet and crypto assets.
Follow the on-screen instructions at the official start page to download and install the software appropriate for your device.
You now have two choices:
Create a New Wallet: This option generates a new cryptographic recovery seed.
Recover an Existing Wallet: Restore your wallet from a previously saved recovery seed.
If you are a new user, select Create a New Wallet.
Your recovery seed phrase is the heart of your wallet security. It consists of 12 to 24 randomly generated words.
The device will display your seed words one by one.
Write them down carefully on the recovery card or paper.
Double-check the spelling and order.
This seed phrase is the only way to restore your wallet in case your device is lost or damaged.
Important: Never save your seed phrase digitally or share it with anyone.
To verify you wrote down the recovery phrase correctly, your Trezór® device will ask you to confirm certain words from your seed.
This step helps prevent loss of funds due to seed misrecording.
Your PIN code protects your device against unauthorized use.
You will enter your PIN on a randomized touchscreen or button interface.
Choose a secure but memorable PIN.
Every time you connect your device, the PIN is required.
