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

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start® — your official starting point for setting up and securing your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you’re using the Trezor Model One or the advanced Model T, this guide will help you initialize your device safely, understand its core features, and connect it with Trezor Suite™ for full control of your crypto assets.

1. Getting to Know Your Trezor® Device

A Trezor hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your private keys offline, protecting your cryptocurrency from online threats. Unlike software wallets, Trezor never exposes your keys to the internet, keeping your assets safe even if your computer or smartphone is compromised.

Compatible with over a thousand digital assets.
Fully open-source software and hardware design.
Protected with PINs, passphrases, and physical verification.
Integrated with Trezor Suite™ for easy management and tracking.

2. Unboxing and Preparing Your Device

When you unbox your Trezor®, ensure that the packaging is sealed and untampered. Inside, you’ll find your device, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and a quick-start guide. Never use a pre-initialized or secondhand device. Always begin the setup yourself.

      Security Tip: Only initialize your Trezor® on your own computer, never on shared or public systems.
    

3. Accessing Trezor.io/Start®

To begin setup, open the official Trezor.io/Start® portal in your browser. The page provides step-by-step instructions and connects you directly to Trezor Suite™, the official application for managing your wallet.

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided cable.
Follow the on-screen prompts to install Trezor Suite™.
Allow the device to update its firmware if necessary.
Choose “Create New Wallet” or “Recover Wallet” depending on your needs.

Note: If you’re setting up a brand-new wallet, always generate your recovery seed offline — never type it or store it digitally.

4. Creating and Storing Your Recovery Seed

During initialization, your Trezor® will generate a unique recovery seed — a list of words that serve as the ultimate key to your funds. Write these words carefully on the recovery card provided in the box and store it in a safe location. Anyone with access to your recovery seed can access your assets, so handle it with extreme care.

      Reminder: Trezor® will never ask for your recovery seed through email, messages, or websites. Keep it offline, always.
    

5. Connecting to Trezor Suite™

Once setup is complete, you can use Trezor Suite™ to manage your cryptocurrencies. The Suite provides a clean interface to view your portfolio, send and receive funds, and track transaction history. All confirmations happen on your Trezor device screen, adding a secure layer of physical verification.

View balances across multiple cryptocurrencies.
Send and receive crypto safely with address confirmation.
Enable advanced features like Tor for enhanced privacy.
Set passphrase protection for additional wallet security.

6. Maintaining Security and Updates

Keeping your device and Trezor Suite updated ensures ongoing compatibility and protection against potential vulnerabilities. Regular firmware updates include performance improvements and enhanced security protocols. Always download software directly through official Trezor channels to maintain authenticity.

Tip: Enable firmware notifications in Trezor Suite™ to stay informed of the latest updates.

7. Troubleshooting and Best Practices

If your device is not recognized or fails to connect, try using a different USB port or cable, or restart both your computer and device. You can also reset your Trezor Suite cache. Avoid using third-party extensions or modified software when accessing your wallet.

Confirm that you are using official Trezor software only.
Verify the authenticity of your device before setup.
Do not share sensitive information or recovery phrases online.
Back up your recovery seed in more than one secure location if possible.
