Trézor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device

Introduction

Welcome to Trézor®! Your hardware wallet provides top-level security for managing cryptocurrencies. Trézor.io/Start® guides you step by step through setting up your device safely and securely.

Following the official setup process ensures that your private keys remain protected, giving you full control over your digital assets from day one.

Step 1: Unboxing Your Device

Inside the package, you will find:

Your Trézor hardware wallet
USB cable
Recovery seed cards
Quick start guide

Check the packaging for tampering and confirm authenticity before starting. A genuine Trézor device comes with a tamper-evident seal.

Step 2: Connecting and Accessing Trézor.io/Start®

Connect your Trézor device to your computer using the USB cable. Open a browser and go to Trézor.io/Start®. The website provides the official setup wizard and ensures you download any required software securely.

            Security Tip: Only use the official Trézor website for downloads to prevent phishing and malware attacks.
        

Step 3: Initializing Your Wallet

You can either create a new wallet or restore an existing one. If creating a new wallet, Trézor generates a 24-word recovery seed. Write it down on the included card and keep it safe. This seed is your only backup for restoring your wallet.

Never store your recovery seed digitally or share it with anyone.

Step 4: Setting Your PIN

Set a secure PIN to protect your device. The PIN prevents unauthorized access even if your device is lost or stolen. Input and confirm the PIN directly on the device screen.

Step 5: Using Your Trézor®

Once setup is complete, your device is ready for:

Sending and receiving cryptocurrencies
Checking balances
Accessing third-party integrations securely
Staking supported coins (if applicable)

Always verify transactions on the device screen before confirming.

Best Practices

Keep your recovery seed offline and secure
Only download software from Trézor’s official site
Never share your PIN or recovery seed
Update your firmware regularly

            Important: Losing your recovery seed means losing access to your funds permanently.
        

Conclusion

Trézor.io/Start® ensures a smooth and secure setup for your Trézor® hardware wallet. By carefully following these steps, you can start managing your cryptocurrencies safely, keeping full control of your assets while protecting them from unauthorized access.
