Welcome to Trezór.io/Start®, your official guide to beginning your journey with Trezór, the world-renowned hardware wallet designed to safeguard your cryptocurrency assets. Whether you’re a crypto beginner or an experienced investor, setting up your Trezór device properly is critical to ensure your digital assets remain secure and accessible only to you.

What is Trezór?

Trezór is a hardware wallet—a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike online wallets or exchanges that are vulnerable to hacking, malware, and phishing attacks, Trezór keeps your private keys isolated from the internet, providing maximum security.

With support for thousands of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many tokens, Trezór is a versatile solution for managing and protecting your crypto portfolio.

Why Choose Trezór?

  • Unmatched Security: Private keys never leave your device.

  • User-Friendly: Intuitive interface with easy-to-follow setup.

  • Open Source: Transparent firmware and software verified by the crypto community.

  • Regular Updates: Constant improvements and added features.

  • Cross-Platform: Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and web-based apps.

Before You Begin: What You’ll Need

  • Your genuine Trezór device (Model T or Trezór One)

  • USB cable for connection to your computer

  • A computer or laptop with internet access

  • Pen and paper (or the recovery seed card included)

  • A quiet, secure space to set up your device

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezór Device Carefully

Upon receiving your Trezór device, inspect the packaging to ensure it’s intact and hasn’t been tampered with. Trezór uses tamper-evident seals as part of its security measures.

Inside the box, you’ll find:

  • Your Trezór device

  • USB cable

  • Recovery seed card (for writing down your recovery phrase)

  • Quick start guide

Never use a device with suspicious packaging or missing components. If you suspect tampering, contact Trezór support immediately.

Step 2: Visit Trezór.io/Start®

Head to the official Trezór setup page at https://trezor.io/start. This site provides official software downloads and detailed instructions, ensuring you avoid phishing sites or fraudulent downloads.

Step 3: Download and Install Trezór Suite

Trezór Suite is the official application used to manage your hardware wallet.

  • Download Trezór Suite compatible with your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).

  • Install and open the application.

  • This app acts as the gateway to managing your accounts and conducting transactions.

For users who prefer web interaction, Trezór also offers a browser-based interface compatible with modern browsers.

Step 4: Connect Your Trezór Device

Use the USB cable to connect your Trezór device to your computer. Once connected, the Trezór Suite will recognize the device and guide you through the initialization process.

Step 5: Initialize Your Device

You have two options:

  • Create a New Wallet: For first-time users.

  • Recover Existing Wallet: If you already have a recovery seed from a previous device.

Creating a New Wallet

If you choose to create a new wallet, Trezór will generate a 24-word recovery seed — a master key that can restore access to your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Important:

  • Write down each word carefully on the recovery seed card.

  • Do not save it digitally or take photos.

  • Store your recovery seed in a safe, offline location.

  • Losing your recovery seed means losing access to your funds permanently.

Recovering a Wallet

If you already have a recovery seed, enter the words in the correct order to restore your wallet and all its associated assets.

Step 6: Set Your PIN

To protect your device from unauthorized access, set up a PIN code.

  • Choose a PIN between 4 and 9 digits.

  • When entering your PIN, the layout will be randomized on your computer screen to prevent keylogging.

  • Confirm your PIN by entering it again on the device.

This PIN must be remembered; entering it incorrectly multiple times will reset your device.

Step 7: Update Firmware (If Necessary)

Trezór regularly releases firmware updates to enhance security and functionality.

  • If prompted, update your firmware via the Trezór Suite.

  • Firmware updates require physical confirmation on your device to prevent remote tampering.

Step 8: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

Within Trezór Suite, you can add various cryptocurrency accounts supported by your device.

  • Click “Add Account” and choose the cryptocurrency.

  • The Suite will synchronize with the blockchain and display your balances and transaction history.

Step 9: Sending and Receiving Cryptocurrency

Receiving Funds

  • Select the desired account.

  • Click “Receive” to generate a wallet address.

  • Always verify the address on your Trezór device screen.

  • Share the address with the sender.

Sending Funds

  • Select the account from which to send.

  • Enter recipient address, amount, and optional fee.

  • Verify transaction details on your device.

  • Confirm to broadcast the transaction to the network.

Security Best Practices

  • Never share your recovery seed or PIN.

  • Always use the official Trezór Suite and website.

  • Beware of phishing attempts and suspicious links.

  • Store your recovery seed offline and consider multiple secure locations.

  • Enable passphrase protection for added security (optional feature).

  • Disconnect your device when not in use.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If your device isn’t recognized, try reconnecting or using a different USB cable/port.

  • If you forget your PIN, the device will reset after multiple failed attempts; recover with your seed.

  • Keep your recovery seed secure to avoid permanent loss.
