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

If you've just purchased a Trezor® hardware wallet, congratulations! You're taking a vital step toward securing your cryptocurrency. This official guide will walk you through the entire setup process using Trezor.io/Start® — the trusted starting point for all Trezor® devices. Whether you’re using the Trezor Model T or the Trezor One, this setup ensures your wallet is secure, authentic, and ready to use.

Why Choose Trezor®?

Trezor® is a pioneer in hardware wallet technology. It allows you to manage your crypto securely by keeping your private keys offline. This means your digital assets are protected from malware, phishing attacks, and exchange hacks. With open-source software and a user-first interface, Trezor® gives you complete control of your funds.

Step 1: What’s in the Box?

Begin by inspecting your Trezor package. It should contain:

Ensure that the holographic security seal is intact. If the seal appears broken or tampered with, do not use the device. Only trust brand-new, sealed packages.

Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/Start®

Open your browser and type in Trezor.io/Start. This is the official starting point for setting up your device. Avoid clicking on third-party links or advertisements — always type the address directly to ensure you're accessing the real site.

Step 3: Download Trezor Suite

From Trezor.io/Start®, download the latest version of Trezor Suite — the official software for managing your wallet. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After installation, open the app and connect your Trezor device using the USB cable provided.

Step 4: Initialize Your Device

When prompted in Trezor Suite, choose “Create new wallet.” This begins the initialization process. Your device will now generate a new recovery seed — a critical step in backing up your crypto securely.

Step 5: Write Down Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor will display a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down on the recovery seed card provided in the box. Never save this phrase digitally or take screenshots of it. If someone else gains access to your seed phrase, they can access your assets.

Step 6: Confirm the Recovery Phrase

To verify that you've written the phrase correctly, Trezor will ask you to confirm selected words. This step ensures accuracy and is a key part of your wallet’s security. Remember: Trezor does not store your recovery phrase — you are fully responsible for its safekeeping.

Step 7: Set a PIN Code

After confirming your recovery phrase, you'll be asked to set a PIN. This PIN will be required each time you connect your device. Choose a unique and secure PIN — not something easily guessed.

Step 8: Install Coin Wallets

In Trezor Suite, go to the dashboard and choose which cryptocurrencies you want to manage — like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin. Each coin will be linked to its own wallet, all protected by your recovery phrase and PIN.

Step 9: Sending and Receiving Crypto

With your wallets set up, you can now receive and send crypto. Always confirm receiving addresses on the device screen. For sending, input the address and amount in Trezor Suite and confirm the transaction directly on your Trezor device.

Step 10: Stay Secure

Restoring Your Wallet

If your device is lost, stolen, or reset, don’t worry — your assets can be restored using your recovery seed. Simply connect a new Trezor and choose “Recover wallet.” Enter your recovery words in the correct order, and your funds will become accessible again.

Need Help?

If you experience issues during setup, refer to the Help section inside Trezor Suite or search the official support resources available through Trezor.io. Note: Trezor will never ask for your recovery phrase and does not provide phone support. Stay vigilant and only trust official communication.

Conclusion

By using Trezor.io/Start® and following each step carefully, you've taken control of your crypto with one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the world. Trezor® puts security in your hands. Keep your device safe, your recovery phrase secure, and enjoy peace of mind as you navigate the world of digital assets.

Welcome to the future of secure crypto management — with Trezor®.
