Complete Step-by-Step Setup Guide
1. Unbox and Inspect Your Trezór Device
Upon receiving your Trezór wallet, check the tamper-proof seal to ensure it hasn’t been opened or tampered with. Inside the box, you will find:
- Your Trezór hardware wallet
- A USB cable to connect the device
- Recovery seed cards to write down your backup phrase
- Quick start guide and important safety information
2. Connect Your Device and Visit trezor.io/start
Plug your Trezór device into your computer using the provided USB cable. Open your favorite web browser and navigate to the official start page. The site will detect your device and guide you through installing any required software like the Trezór Bridge, which enables secure communication between your device and browser.
3. Install Trezór Bridge and Wallet Interface
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the necessary drivers and software. Once installed, reload the webpage to initiate communication with your device.
4. Choose to Create or Restore Wallet
If this is your first Trezór, select “Create New Wallet.” If you are migrating from another wallet or replacing a lost device, select “Restore Wallet” and enter your recovery seed phrase.
5. Set a Strong PIN Code
Secure your device with a PIN. You will use the physical buttons on the device to enter your PIN, making it resilient to keyloggers and spyware. Choose a PIN that is hard to guess but easy for you to remember.
6. Backup Your Recovery Seed
Once your PIN is set, your Trezór will generate a recovery seed phrase (typically 12 or 24 words). This seed phrase is your ultimate backup and allows you to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write it down carefully on the provided recovery cards and store them offline in a secure place.
7. Confirm Your Recovery Seed
To ensure you have recorded your seed correctly, your device will prompt you to confirm random words from your seed phrase.
8. Finalize Setup and Explore Wallet Features
Once your seed is confirmed, you’re ready to use your wallet! The Trezór interface lets you manage your crypto assets, view balances, send and receive funds, and configure advanced security features.
Important: Always verify recipient addresses and amounts on your Trezór device's screen before confirming any transaction to avoid phishing or malware risks.
Essential Security Tips for Your Trezór Wallet
- Keep Your Recovery Seed Offline and Secure: Never share or store your seed phrase digitally. Treat it like a precious asset.
- Beware of Phishing Attacks: Trezór will never ask for your seed or PIN outside of the device. Double-check URLs and emails before entering information.
- Regularly Update Firmware: Keep your device firmware current via official updates to benefit from security patches and new features.
- Use Strong PIN and Optional Passphrase: Adding a passphrase offers an additional security layer, creating hidden wallets only you can access.
- Verify All Transactions on Device: Confirm details directly on your Trezór screen, not just your computer screen.
- Keep Physical Control of Your Device: Avoid lending or leaving your device unattended in unsafe environments.
