Activate Your Trêzor: A Secure and Simple Setup Wizard
Welcome to your exclusive gateway at Trêzor.io/start. By acquiring a Trêzor hardware wallet, you've selected the gold standard in cryptocurrency protection. This page is your dedicated guide, meticulously designed to navigate you from unboxing to full control with confidence and ease. Your journey to unparalleled security is just a few steps away.
Phase 1: Preparation and Authenticity Check
A secure start begins with verification. As you open your Trêzor packaging, please confirm the contents: your device, a USB cable, and your recovery seed cards. Crucially, inspect the holographic security seal on the box. This seal is your first guarantee that your device is genuine and has not been interfered with. A pristine, untampered seal is a non-negotiable prerequisite for a safe setup.
Phase 2: Installing Your Command Center: Trêzor Suite
To interact with your device, you will use Trêzor Suite—our secure, desktop application that serves as your wallet interface.
Using your computer, please ensure you are on the official Trêzor.io/start page.
Download and install the Trêzor Suite application tailored for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Once installed, launch Trêzor Suite and connect your device using the provided USB cable. The application will recognize your device and initiate a handshake.
Phase 3: Laying the Digital Foundation: Firmware Installation
Your new Trêzor may require initial firmware. Think of firmware as the device's core intelligence—its operating system. Trêzor Suite will automatically prompt you to install or update to the latest version. This step is critical, as it arms your device with the most recent security enhancements and functionality. Please follow the on-screen instructions in Suite and confirm the action on your Trêzor's display. The process is swift and fully automated.
Phase 4: Generating Your Ultimate Recovery Key
Here, you will create the master key to your crypto assets: the Recovery Seed. This is a sequence of words generated by true, on-device randomness.
Pay close attention: Your Trêzor will display this list of words, one by one, on its small screen.
The cardinal rule: This phrase must never be digitized. Do not type it on a keyboard, store it in a cloud file, or send it via email or message.
The correct method: Use the included stainless-steel recovery card or another durable medium. With a pen, transcribe each word precisely in the given order. Accuracy is paramount.
Phase 5: The Verification Seal: Confirming Your Backup
Mere transcription is not enough; verification is key. To cement your security, Trêzor Suite will now ask you to perform a "Dry Run." It will prompt you to select the correct words from your written list directly on your Trêzor's screen. This interactive check serves a dual purpose: it confirms you have recorded the seed correctly and familiarizes you with the recovery process. Successfully completing this step is your assurance that your backup is valid.
Phase 6: Establishing Your Personal PIN
With your recovery seed verified, the final setup step is to create a PIN code. This PIN protects your device from physical access.
The process is ingeniously secure. Your Trêzor screen will show a randomized number layout.
You will then click the corresponding positions for your chosen PIN on the virtual keypad within Trêzor Suite.
This method ensures that even if your computer is compromised, malware cannot decipher your PIN, as only coordinate data is shared.
Your Secure Vault is Now Active
You have successfully navigated the setup. The main Trêzor Suite dashboard now awaits—a clean, powerful interface for managing your portfolio. You can confidently receive, send, and track your assets, knowing they are secured by the most robust technology in the industry. Your commitment to self-custody is now complete. Welcome to a safer crypto future.
