A concise, practical guide to set up and secure your Trezor hardware using Trezor Suite.

Overview

What is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application designed to manage your Trezor hardware wallet safely. It provides a unified interface to view balances, send and receive cryptocurrencies, install firmware, and manage backups. This presentation walks you through the first-time setup, essential security practices, and where to find official help.

Why use Trezor Suite?

Using Trezor Suite ensures your private keys remain on the device. The Suite is built to minimize attack surface, verify transactions on the device screen, and guide you through secure recovery. For both beginners and power users, Suite balances usability with strong security design.

Before you start

Step-by-step: First-time setup

1. Install Trezor Suite

Download the official Trezor Suite app from the Trezor website and install it on your machine. Launch Suite and connect your device with the provided USB cable. Suite will guide you to create a new wallet or restore an existing one.

2. Initialize your device

Follow on-screen instructions. Create a new wallet to generate a fresh recovery seed, or choose restore to enter an existing seed. Always confirm the fingerprint and device model shown in Suite match your physical device.

3. Firmware and verification

Always update to the latest firmware when prompted. Suite will verify firmware authenticity and display clear prompts on the device. Never skip firmware verification; this step prevents tampering.

Essential security tips

Protect your recovery seed

Your recovery seed is the ultimate key. Never store it digitally, never share it, and consider a metal backup plate for long-term durability.

Use a PIN

Set a PIN on the device to protect against physical access. Trezor supports additional passphrase protection for advanced users; understand the tradeoffs before enabling it.
