Step-by-Step: Starting Up Your Trézór® Device

Here is a detailed breakdown of the setup process when using Trezor.io/Start®:

1. Unpack and Inspect

Start by unboxing your Trézór® device. Ensure the holographic seal on the packaging is intact. If it's broken or appears tampered with, do not proceed.

2. Go to Trezor.io/Start®

Use a secure internet connection and visit the official setup page. Select your device model (Model One or Model T) to begin.

3. Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop app for managing your crypto. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download and install it directly from the page.

4. Connect the Device

Plug your Trézór® wallet into your computer using the supplied USB cable. For Model T, use the touchscreen interface to proceed. For Model One, use the physical buttons.

5. Install Firmware

New Trézór® devices ship without firmware for maximum security. Trezor.io/Start® will prompt you to install the latest version, ensuring your device is up to date and safe.

6. Create a New Wallet

After firmware installation, choose to Create a New Wallet. Your device will generate a recovery seed phrase—either 12, 18, or 24 words depending on your model and settings.

7. Backup Your Recovery Phrase

Important: Write down your recovery phrase on the provided card or a safe offline location. This is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Never take a photo of it. Never upload it to cloud storage. Never share it.

8. Set a PIN

Create a secure PIN on your device. This adds a physical layer of protection. Even if someone steals your wallet, they cannot access your assets without the correct PIN.

Understanding Trezor Suite

After completing the setup via Trezor.io/Start®, you’ll manage your assets through Trezor Suite. This all-in-one application allows you to:

Send and receive cryptocurrencies
Track your portfolio
Install and manage multiple wallets
Swap coins or use decentralized apps
Use advanced features like Passphrase and Shamir Backup

Trezor Suite is secure, open-source, and regularly updated to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Key Security Features Introduced at Trezor.io/Start®

✅ Recovery Phrase

Your single most important asset. Without it, no one—including Trézór®—can recover your wallet.

✅ PIN Protection

Keeps your wallet locked from physical tampering.

✅ Passphrase Option

An optional, advanced layer of protection that creates a “hidden” wallet accessible only via a custom passphrase.

✅ Secure Boot and Firmware Verification

Every time your device boots up, it verifies the integrity of its firmware to prevent unauthorized changes.

Troubleshooting Common Setup Issues

While Trezor.io/Start® is designed to be seamless, some users may run into minor issues. Here’s how to address the most common ones:

Problem: Device Not Recognized

Try a different USB port or cable
Restart your computer and reconnect
Ensure Trezor Suite is up to date

Problem: Firmware Won’t Install

Make sure your internet connection is stable
Temporarily disable antivirus/firewall if interfering
Try restarting the process

Problem: Forgot PIN

You’ll need to reset the device and restore from your recovery phrase.

Problem: Lost Recovery Phrase

Unfortunately, without your seed, access cannot be restored. This is a key part of Trézór®'s security design.

You avoid counterfeit sites that may steal your recovery phrase or assets
