Step-by-step setup, security best practices, send & receive, backups, and troubleshooting — full-colour guide with official links.

Quick Start — What this guide covers

It’s written for first-time users and for those refreshing their security setup.

System Requirements & Preparations

Before you begin, gather the following: your Trezor hardware device, a computer (Windows/Mac/Linux) or supported mobile device, a USB cable (or Bluetooth when using supported models), a private quiet space to record your recovery seed, and patience to follow security steps carefully.

Checklist

Why verification matters

Verifying the download prevents phishing and tampered installers. The Trezor website and guides explain how to download and verify the desktop application — follow those steps exactly.

Download & Verify Trezor Suite

Open your browser and navigate to the official page: https://trezor.io/trezor-suite. Choose the desktop download for your OS or use the web app via a supported browser. Prefer desktop for offline verification and a more trusted environment.

Steps

  1. Go to the official Trezor download page: trezor.io/trezor-suite.
  2. Download the installer for your operating system.
  3. Follow the Trezor verification guide to check signatures or checksums before running the installer.
  4. Install and open Trezor Suite.

Tip

If any prompt or download link looks different from the official site, stop and verify the URL. Bookmark the official download page so you always access the right site.

First-time Setup: Connect & Initialize

When you open Trezor Suite and connect your Trezor device, the Suite will detect your device and guide you through firmware updates (if needed), setting a PIN, and creating a recovery seed (or entering an existing one).

Step-by-step

1. Connect your Trezor

Use the USB cable to connect your device. Follow on-screen instructions. Never accept firmware updates from unofficial sources.

2. Firmware update

When prompted, install official firmware. The Suite will verify firmware authenticity and prompt you only when the signature is valid.

3. Create a new wallet

Follow the Suite to create a new wallet. You will set a PIN — choose a PIN you can remember but that’s not guessable. The device will show words for your recovery seed. Write them down carefully — the device will ask you to confirm some words to ensure you copied them correctly.

Important

Never store the seed on a computer or phone. Write it on paper (or metal backup) and store it in a secure location. Trezor Suite provides reminders and guidance for this process.

Backup & Recovery Best Practices

The recovery seed (BIP39 / BIP39-like depending on device) is the single most important secret. If lost, funds are unrecoverable; if stolen, funds can be stolen.

Creating secure backups

Passphrase (Advanced)

A passphrase adds an additional hidden wallet derived from your seed. Only use passphrases if you understand the risks: losing the passphrase = losing funds. Document your passphrase strategy safely and separately from the seed.

Send & Receive — Basics

Trezor Suite allows you to receive, send, and manage multiple coins. Practice with a small amount first to confirm you understand the flow.

Receive

To receive funds: choose the asset, click Receive, copy or scan the address shown, and verify the same address on your Trezor device screen before sharing it with the sender.

Send

To send: choose the asset, enter the destination address, select network fee, and approve the transaction both in Suite and on the Trezor device. On-device confirmation is the core security step — the device verifies the address and amount physically on the device screen.

Fee options

Choose standard, fast, or custom fees. Higher fees usually mean faster confirmations. For unfamiliar destinations, use low test amounts first.

Buy, Swap & Integration

Trezor Suite integrates third-party services for buying or swapping crypto. These services operate within the Suite UI but you still confirm transactions with your device.

What to check

WalletConnect & dApps

You can connect to dApps via WalletConnect. When interacting with smart contracts, carefully review data on the device before signing any message or transaction.

Security & Long-term Maintenance

Hardware wallets greatly increase security, but users must follow practices to keep keys safe. Treat your Trezor like a safe: protect physical access and limit who knows about your holdings.

Daily security checklist

Recovering from loss or damage

If the device is lost or damaged, use your recovery seed on a new compatible Trezor (or other compatible hardware wallet) to restore access. If you suspect seed compromise, move funds to a fresh seed-controlled wallet immediately.

Troubleshooting & Support

If you encounter problems, first consult the official Trezor guides and start pages. Many common questions — firmware, connection errors, or verification steps — are documented in the official guides.

Common fixes

Official help

When in doubt, use the official support channels or guides on the Trezor site rather than unverified forums. Official resources: trezor.io/trezor-suite and the Trezor Guides section.
