Your Journey to Ultimate Crypto Security Begins at Trezor.io/start

Welcome, and thank you for selecting a Trêzor hardware wallet. You are not just setting up a device; you are establishing a personal fortress for your digital wealth. This page, Trêzor.io/start, is your official compass, guiding you through a simple and secure initialization. Let's empower you with full control over your cryptocurrencies.

First Connection: Bridging the Physical and Digital
Your adventure starts by linking your Trêzor to the world. For your security, we strongly recommend using the official Trêzor Suite application.

Navigate to Trêzor.io/start on your computer to download Trêzor Suite. This ensures you are always using the authentic, most secure software.

Connect your Trêzor device to your computer's USB port using the cable provided in the box.

Upon first connection, your device's screen will light up. Open the installed Trêzor Suite application. It will seamlessly recognize your new hardware wallet and initiate the setup wizard.

Fortifying Your Device: The Firmware Foundation
Before building your wallet, we must lay a secure foundation. Trêzor Suite will check and install the latest firmware onto your device. Consider this the operating system of your Trêzor, containing vital security patches and new features. Always accept this update. The process is automatic and ensures your device is protected against known vulnerabilities from day one.

Generating Your Digital Master Key: The Recovery Seed
This is the heart of your security. Your recovery seed is a unique list of words that acts as a master key to all your crypto assets. It is generated offline, inside your Trêzor, completely isolated from the internet.

Your Trêzor device will display this sequence—typically 12, 18, or 24 words—on its own screen.

Crucially, this phrase will never be shown on your computer monitor. This design protects you from malware that might be snooping on your desktop.

With the included recovery seed card, use a pen to transcribe each word meticulously in the order it appears. Double-check your spelling.

Verifying Your Backup: A Practice Run for Safety
To prevent tragic errors, we don't just trust—we verify. Trêzor Suite will now guide you through a backup check. It will ask you to select the correct words from your written list on your device's screen. This crucial step confirms you have recorded the seed accurately and can use it if necessary. Passing this test means you are prepared for any eventuality.

Creating Your First Line of Defense: The PIN Code
Even with your seed phrase secure, a PIN code prevents physical unauthorized access.

When prompted, you will create a PIN code. The beauty of this process is its security.

The numbers will appear randomized on your Trêzor's display. You will click the corresponding positions on the virtual keypad within Trêzor Suite.

This method ensures that a keylogger on your computer cannot capture the sequence of your PIN, as only the screen positions are transmitted.

Welcome to Your New Dashboard
With the setup complete, you will arrive at the main interface of Trêzor Suite. This powerful, yet intuitive, dashboard is your command center. From here, you can:

Receive Funds: Generate unique addresses to accept cryptocurrency.

Send Assets: Securely authorize transactions to anyone, anywhere.

Track Portfolio: View your holdings and their value in real-time.

Explore Advanced Features: Use the built-in exchange or delve into privacy-enhancing tools.

Your journey to self-reliance is complete. Treasure your recovery seed, remember your PIN, and explore with confidence. Your crypto security has never been stronger. Welcome to the Trêzor family.
