Introduction
Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web application that puts your hardware wallet at the center of secure crypto management. Whether you are setting up a brand-new device or connecting an existing Trezor, this guide walks you through the essential steps to get started with handing your crypto — safely and confidently.
H1 — Unbox & Verify
Step 1: Inspect packaging
When you receive your Trezor device, check the tamper-evident packaging and verification seals. Authentic Trezor packages include clear tamper indicators and printed verification instructions. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact official support immediately.
Step 2: Official resources
Always use official links for downloads and instructions. Avoid third-party tools or links from social media. Use Trezor's official pages to download Suite and find step-by-step setup instructions (links provided in the sidebar).
H2 — Install Trezor Suite
Download
Download Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) or use the official web suite. The Suite provides a unified interface for sending, receiving, portfolio tracking, and firmware updates.
Connect your device
Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor to the computer. Follow on-screen prompts in Suite to initialize or recover your device.
H3 — Initialize & Secure
Create or recover a wallet
Choose between creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one with your recovery seed. If creating new, write down the recovery seed exactly and store it offline in a secure place.
Set a PIN
Set a device PIN for basic physical security. This PIN protects access to the device and encrypts local features.
H4 — Using Trezor Suite
Once setup is complete, use Trezor Suite to manage accounts, check balances, and construct transactions. Suite shows clear transaction details and asks for confirmation on the device itself — critical for preventing remote manipulation.
- Receive addresses: always verify the address on the Trezor screen.
- Send transactions: confirm recipient and amounts on the device before approving.
- Firmware updates: install firmware only when released on official channels.
H5 — Best Practices & Troubleshooting
Security is layered. Combine device security, physical safekeeping of your seed, and cautious online behavior for the best protection.
- Backup your recovery seed in multiple secure locations — never store it digitally.
- Keep firmware up to date through the Suite app to receive security improvements.
- Verify all links and downloads come from official trezor domains.
- Contact official support for any irregularities — don’t rely on strangers or unverified posts for help.
