Trezor Suite — Congrats on your new Trezor

Welcome! You’ve just taken an important step toward secure self-custody. This short guide helps you get Trezor Suite installed and your device set up safely.

Quick start — What to do first

1. Unbox & verify

Inspect the box and tamper-evident seals. Only proceed if the package looks intact.

2. Download Trezor Suite

Visit the official site and download Trezor Suite for your OS. Trezor Suite is the desktop/web app that helps you manage coins and firmware updates.

3. Connect your Trezor

Use the supplied USB cable. Follow on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite — the app will detect your device and walk you through firmware installation if needed.

4. Initialize & backup

Create a PIN and write down your recovery seed (12–24 words) on paper. Do not store the seed electronically. Trezor Suite guides you through seed generation and confirmation.

Security Checklist

PIN: Choose a unique PIN and never share it.

Recovery seed: Write it down offline, in order, and store it in a secure place (two copies in different locations is ideal).

Passphrase (optional): Consider using a passphrase only if you understand its implications — it acts as a 25th seed word.

Official sources: Only use official Trezor domains and verified downloads; watch for phishing.

Device safety: Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or phone. The device is built so private keys never leave it.

Quick FAQs

Q: Can I restore my Trezor on another device?
A: Yes — use the recovery seed to restore on any compatible hardware wallet.

Q: What if I lose my seed?
A: If the seed is lost and the device is lost/damaged, funds are unrecoverable. Protect your seed.

Best practices for long-term safety

Keep software (OS + Trezor Suite) up to date.
Use a hardware wallet for large holdings; keep small spending amounts in a hot wallet if needed.
Consider steel backup plates for recovery seeds if you expect environmental risk (fire, flood).
Limit sharing of wallet activity — keep identifying information separate from your holdings.
