Complete Trezor Suite Setup Guide

Follow these steps carefully to set up your Trezor device with maximum security.

1 Download Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor website at trezor.io/start to download Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Always verify you're on the official Trezor website to avoid phishing scams.

2 Connect Your Trezor Device

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. If this is your first time using the device, you'll be prompted to install firmware.

3 Install Firmware

Trezor Suite will guide you through the firmware installation process. This ensures your device has the latest security updates and features. Never use a device that comes with pre-installed firmware.

4 Create Your Wallet

Choose to create a new wallet. Your device will generate a unique recovery seed - this is the most critical security element of your setup.

5 Backup Your Recovery Seed

Write down the 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed shown on your Trezor display. Store it securely offline - never digitally photograph or type these words. This seed is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

6 Set a PIN

Create a PIN code to protect physical access to your device. The PIN matrix will appear randomly on your Trezor screen to prevent keyloggers from capturing your input.

7 Name Your Device

Give your Trezor a recognizable name, especially useful if you own multiple devices.

Security Warning

Never purchase a used Trezor device. Only buy from the official Trezor shop or authorized resellers. Devices from unofficial sources may be tampered with and compromise your security.

Best Practices for Maximum Security

Recovery Seed Protection

Your recovery seed is the master key to your cryptocurrency. Follow these guidelines:

Write it on the provided recovery card or on durable material like metal
Store multiple copies in different secure locations (safety deposit box, fireproof safe)
Never store digitally - no photos, cloud storage, or text files
Never share with anyone - legitimate services will never ask for your seed

Transaction Verification

Always verify transaction details directly on your Trezor device screen before confirming. This protects against malware that might alter destination addresses on your computer.

Regular Firmware Updates

Keep your Trezor firmware updated through Trezor Suite to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.

Use Passphrases for Added Security

For advanced security, enable the passphrase feature which adds an additional layer of protection beyond your recovery seed.
