Trezor Suite® — Getting Started

A friendly, step-by-step guide to secure your crypto with Trezor Suite® — setup, best practices, and useful links.

Welcome to Trezor Suite® — Your secure crypto companion

Trezor Suite® is the desktop and web application designed to let you manage your hardware wallet with simplicity and clarity. This Getting Started guide distills the essentials into an approachable onboarding flow: what to expect, how to connect your device, how to backup and restore, and practical tips to keep your funds safe.

Quick Setup — 5 minutes to secure access

1

Unbox & Inspect

Open your Trezor device and make sure the tamper-evident seal is intact. Only use official packaging and order from recognized channels to avoid counterfeit hardware.

2

Download Trezor Suite®

Install the official Trezor Suite® application for your platform. Always download from the official website to avoid impostor software.

3

Connect & Initialize

Plug the device into your computer, follow the on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite®, choose a PIN, and write down your recovery seed on the provided card. This is the single most important step — store your seed securely offline.

4

Verify & Test

Verify transactions on the device display every time. Send a small test amount before larger transfers and confirm addresses shown on the device match the Suite view.

5

Explore

Once set up, explore portfolio views, supported coins, and advanced settings such as passphrase usage and third-party integrations.

Security Essentials

Trezor Suite® focuses on isolating private keys inside your hardware device so that transactions must be confirmed physically. Here are the few rules that protect you:

Never share your seed

Your recovery phrase is the master key. No legitimate support agent will ever ask for it. Keep it offline and consider a steel backup if you live in an area where fire, flood, or theft are concerns.

Use a PIN

A strong device PIN protects against casual theft. The device will erase after repeated incorrect attempts if that option is enabled.

Confirm on-device

Check every address and amount directly on the Trezor screen — never trust a screen-only prompt coming from the host machine.

Keep software updated

Update Trezor Suite® and device firmware from official sources to get security improvements and new coin support.

Advanced topics worth exploring

  • Passphrase-protected hidden wallets for stronger privacy and plausible deniability.
  • Shamir Backup (SLIP-0039) and multi-device strategies for enterprise or distributed storage.
  • Using Trezor with third-party software for DeFi access — always review the integration and sign only on-device.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I recover my wallet if my Trezor is lost?
A: Yes — use your recovery seed to restore on another Trezor or compatible wallet that supports BIP39/SLIP39. Keep your seed safe.

Q: Is Trezor Suite® free?
A: The Suite application is free to download. Network fees apply when sending transactions.

Q: What if I forget my PIN?
A: If you forget your PIN you can restore using your recovery phrase, but any funds on the device without the seed cannot be recovered.
