Trezor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device | Trézór® Guide 🛡️

Welcome to the world of secure crypto storage with your brand new Trézór® hardware wallet! 🚀 If you’re here, you’re ready to start setting up your device and take control of your digital assets like a pro. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the full setup process using Trezor.io/Start.

🎁 What’s in the Box?

When you unbox your Trézór® device (Model T or One), you should see:

Your Trézór® device 📦
USB cable 🔌
Recovery seed cards 🧾
Lanyard (Model T) 📿
Stickers and instruction manual 📘

🔑 Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

Open your browser and go to: https://trezor.io/start 🌐
This is the official and only trusted source to begin your setup — beware of phishing websites! ⚠️

💻 Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application to manage your wallet.

Choose Download for Windows / Mac / Linux depending on your OS. 🖥️
Install and open Trezor Suite.
Plug in your Trezor device using the USB cable. 🔗

The Suite will automatically detect your device and check for the latest firmware.

🔁 Step 3: Firmware Update (If Needed)

Most devices ship without firmware pre-installed. That’s normal!

Click Install Firmware when prompted. 📲
Wait a few moments — do NOT disconnect the device. 🔄

Once installed, your device will restart.

🛠️ Step 4: Create a New Wallet or Recover

Trezor Suite will ask you to choose between:

Create a new wallet – First-time setup ✅
Recover wallet – Restore a wallet from your backup seed 🔁

➕ Create New Wallet

Select Standard or Hidden Wallet.
Confirm actions on your device (you’ll press buttons directly on the Trezor). 🧠

📜 Step 5: Backup Your Recovery Seed

This is the most important part of your crypto security. 🛑

Your Trezor will display a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.
Write it down on the recovery sheet provided — by hand only ✍️
NEVER take a screenshot, photo, or store it digitally. 🚫📸
Store this seed in a safe, offline place. 🧳🔐

You will never be able to recover your funds if you lose this seed.

🔒 Step 6: Set Up a PIN

Choose a secure PIN on the Trezor device. 🔢
This PIN is required each time you plug in your wallet.

Avoid common PINs like "1234" or "0000". Make it strong! 💪

🌐 Step 7: Explore Trezor Suite Dashboard

Welcome to your Trezor dashboard! 🖥️

Now you can:

View balances and receive/send crypto 🔄
Manage coins and tokens 🪙
Check transaction history 📈
Enable coin-specific features like Ethereum dApps or Bitcoin passphrase wallets 🔗

🧠 Optional: Enable Passphrase (Advanced)

Want an extra layer of security?

Enable passphrase protection from the settings.
This adds a custom phrase on top of your recovery seed.
It's like having a second wallet — only you know how to access it. 🕵️‍♂️

⚠️ Be cautious: If you forget the passphrase, your funds are gone. No recovery!

🔐 Security Best Practices

✅ Always verify website URLs
✅ Keep your recovery seed offline
✅ Don’t share your screen or Trezor prompts online
✅ Enable 2FA on your exchange accounts
✅ Consider using a crypto-steel backup for long-term storage 🔩

📱 Mobile Compatibility

Currently, Trezor Suite is desktop-only. But you can use third-party mobile wallets (like Exodus or Mycelium) with limited functionality.
