Trézór.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device | Térzór®

Cryptocurrency ownership comes with significant responsibility — especially the safe storage of your assets. Térzór® hardware wallets, known for their strong security and user-friendly interface, provide one of the most reliable methods to protect your digital wealth. If you've just purchased a new Trezor device, congratulations. You're now one step closer to taking full control of your crypto.

To begin, head to Trézór.io/Start®. This is the official and secure starting point for setting up your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T. Let’s walk through the full setup process to ensure your device is configured correctly and securely.

Step 1: Unboxing and Inspection

Before connecting your device, carefully inspect the packaging for signs of tampering. A genuine Trezor device is sealed and should come with:

  • The Trezor device (Model One or Model T)
  • A USB cable
  • Recovery seed cards
  • User manual and stickers

Do not use the device if you suspect it has been previously used or tampered with. Always purchase directly from Trezor.io or an authorized reseller.

Step 2: Visit Trézór.io/Start®

Once you're ready, open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. This page will guide you to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop app that facilitates wallet setup and daily usage.

Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. For enhanced security, it's recommended to use the desktop app rather than the browser extension.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

After downloading the Trezor Suite:

  1. Install the software on your computer.
  2. Open the application and connect your Trezor device via USB.
  3. Follow the on-screen prompts.

Your Trezor may require a firmware update. If prompted, allow the firmware to update before continuing. This ensures you’re using the latest security protocols.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One

Trezor Suite will ask if you'd like to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.

  • New Wallet: If this is your first time using Trezor, select “Create new wallet.”
  • Recovery Wallet: If you’re restoring a wallet, select “Recover wallet” and follow the prompts to input your 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed.

If creating a new wallet, Trezor will generate a recovery seed phrase — a sequence of words that acts as a backup for your entire wallet. Write these words down in the correct order on the provided recovery sheet. Never store this seed digitally or share it with anyone. Anyone with this phrase can access your funds.

Step 5: Set a Strong PIN

Next, set up a PIN to protect your device from unauthorized access. The Trezor screen will display a randomized keypad, and you’ll select your PIN through the Trezor Suite interface using the hidden positions.

Choose a PIN that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.

Step 6: Add Coins and Explore Trezor Suite

Once your wallet is set up, you can start adding cryptocurrencies. Trezor supports a wide range of digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many ERC-20 tokens.

Use Trezor Suite to:

  • Send and receive coins
  • View portfolio balances
  • Access the DEX and trade safely
  • Monitor transaction history

For coins not natively supported in Trezor Suite, third-party wallet integrations like MetaMask may be used in combination with your Trezor.

Step 7: Backup and Security Best Practices

Your Trezor is only as secure as your habits. Here are some key tips:

  • Backup: Store your recovery seed in a secure, offline location. Consider using a fireproof recovery metal plate.
  • Don’t Share: Never share your recovery phrase or PIN.
  • Update Firmware: Periodically check Trezor Suite for firmware updates.
  • Phishing Awareness: Only use official Trezor apps and websites. Bookmark https://trezor.io and beware of lookalikes.
  • Enable Passphrase: Advanced users can add an optional passphrase to increase wallet security.

Conclusion

Setting up your Térzór® hardware wallet via Trézór.io/Start® is the first step toward securing your crypto holdings with confidence. The setup process is intuitive, but the power lies in how you manage your recovery seed and access credentials.

Always stay informed, keep your wallet updated, and be cautious of phishing scams. With the right practices in place, your Trezor can provide unmatched peace of mind for your digital assets.
