🔐 Trezor.io/Start® | Starting™ Up Your Device | Trezór®

Welcome to the official guide for setting up your Trezór® hardware wallet. Whether you're new to crypto or simply looking for a more secure way to store your digital assets, this guide will help you navigate the full setup process with ease and confidence. 🔑

      💡 Why use Trezor?

      Your private keys stay offline, protected from hackers and malware. Every action requires physical confirmation — total security in your hands.

📦 What’s in the Box?

When you purchase a genuine Trezór® device, here’s what you should receive:

✅ Trezor Model One or Model T device
🔗 USB cable (C or micro-USB depending on model)
📄 Recovery seed backup cards (blank)
📘 Getting started guide
🎨 Trezor stickers and accessories

⚠️ Important: If your device arrives with a pre-filled recovery phrase, do not use it! Return it immediately. The phrase should only be generated by you, during first-time setup.

🌐 Step-by-Step: Visit Trezor.io/Start

🔌 Connect your Trezor device to your computer or Android phone via USB.
🌐 Go to https://trezor.io/start — always type it manually to avoid phishing.
⬇️ Download and install the Trezor Suite application for your OS.
🖱️ Open Trezor Suite and follow the prompt: “Create new wallet.”
🔐 Set your PIN and generate a new recovery seed (12 or 24 words).

      ✍️ Write down your seed phrase — by hand! Never save it on your phone or computer. This is your master backup key.
    

🔐 Creating a Secure PIN

Your PIN prevents unauthorized access. Trezor randomizes keypad layout for added protection. Choose a PIN that is unique and not easily guessed.

❌ Don’t use birthdays or simple codes (e.g., 1234)
✅ Use 6+ digits for more security
📴 If you enter the PIN wrong 16 times, the device wipes itself — another layer of protection

🧾 Your Recovery Seed = Your Wallet

The recovery seed phrase is the only way to restore access to your wallet if the device is lost, damaged, or stolen.

It must be:

📝 Written on paper or a metal backup card
🚫 Never stored in cloud or notes app
🔐 Kept in a safe, secret location

⚠️ If someone else gets your seed phrase, they control your crypto. Trezor never stores it — only you have access.

💰 Receiving Crypto

To receive assets:

Open Trezor Suite
Select “Receive”
Pick the account/asset (e.g., BTC, ETH)
Verify the address on your device screen

      🛑 Always verify the address on your Trezor’s screen. This ensures it hasn't been tampered with by malware on your PC.
