Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web app for connecting with your Trezor device. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. By downloading from the official Trezor.io/Start link, you guarantee that your installation file is safe and verified.
Once installed, launch the application and connect your Trezor wallet using the supplied USB cable. The app will automatically detect your device and guide you through the initial steps.
2. Initial Device Setup
New Device Setup
Select Set up as new device. The device will generate keys internally and never expose them. You’ll create a secure PIN that protects against unauthorized access. All confirmations are displayed directly on the Trezor screen.
Recovery of Existing Wallet
If you already have a recovery seed, choose Recover wallet. Follow on-device prompts to input your recovery words securely. This ensures your sensitive information never touches your computer.
3. Backup and Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed is the single most important element of your crypto security. It is a list of 12–24 words generated by your device. Write them down on the provided card and store it in a secure, offline location. Do not take photos or store it digitally. Many users also invest in fireproof or waterproof seed storage for long-term durability.
4. Security Best Practices
- Always double-check receiving addresses on the device screen.
- Keep your PIN secret and do not reuse it from other accounts.
- Update Trezor firmware via Trezor Suite regularly for security patches.
- Enable passphrase protection if you want an additional “25th word.”
