Trézor.io/start® | Starting Up Your Device | Trézor®

Trézor® hardware wallets are trusted tools designed to keep your digital assets safe while offering a secure interface for crypto operations. When you're ready to activate your device, visiting Trézor.io/start® is the essential first step. This guide outlines the key phases of getting your Trézor® wallet running efficiently and securely.

1. Connect and Launch

Start by unboxing your Trézor® device and using the provided USB cable to connect it to your computer. You’ll be prompted to open a web browser and navigate to Trézor.io/start®. This page guides you through setup based on the model—Trézor Model T or Trézor One. The website automatically detects your device and provides tailored instructions.

2. Install Trézor Suite

Trézor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your crypto wallet. Once downloaded and installed, it becomes your dashboard for checking balances, making transactions, and updating firmware. It offers an intuitive and clean interface, enhancing the user experience while maintaining strict security protocols.

3. Firmware Check & Updates

If your device is new, you will be asked to install firmware. Always ensure firmware is downloaded through Trézor Suite to avoid risks. Once updated, verify the integrity using the digital fingerprint displayed on the device screen.

4. Create or Recover Wallet

You’ll have the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. For new users, creating a wallet means generating a unique recovery seed—typically 12 to 24 words. This recovery phrase is critical. Write it down and store it offline, as it's the only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

5. Set PIN for Access

To add an extra layer of protection, Trézor® prompts you to set up a PIN. Every time you connect your wallet, you’ll need this PIN to authorize actions. Choose a code that's not easily guessable and avoid reusing PINs from other services.

6. Begin Secure Transactions

With setup complete, you can now send, receive, and manage crypto assets securely. Trézor Suite enables tracking multiple coins, interacting with third-party services, and reviewing all actions directly on your hardware screen for safety confirmation.

By following the official process at Trézor.io/start®, users ensure that their setup is secure from the outset. Always avoid third-party sites or unofficial apps during installation.

Take the time to understand your wallet features—this investment in knowledge will pay off in long-term security and peace of mind.
