Getting Started with Trezor Suite
Before using Trezor Suite, you need:
A Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
A computer (Windows, macOS, Linux) or mobile device
A secure, private environment for initial setup
Your recovery seed card
Avoid using public computers or unsecured networks during setup. Your recovery seed should always remain offline.
Step 1: Download and Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is available on multiple platforms:
Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux
Mobile: iOS and Android
Desktop Installation:
Visit trezor.io/start
Download Trezor Suite for your operating system
Open the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions
Mobile Installation:
Download Trezor Suite Mobile from the official App Store or Google Play
Install and open the app
Follow prompts to connect your Trezor device
Always download Trezor Suite from official sources to avoid phishing and malware attacks.
Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable (or Bluetooth for Model T where supported)
Unlock your device by entering your PIN
Open Trezor Suite, which should automatically detect your device
Trezor Suite communicates securely with your hardware wallet, ensuring that all operations are verified offline.
Step 3: Initialize Your Wallet
You can choose to either:

Setting Up Your Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed is the most critical part of wallet security:
Write it on the supplied recovery sheet
Store it in a safe, offline location
Never store it digitally or online
Do not share it with anyone
Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can control your funds.
Step 4: Set a Device PIN
A PIN code protects your Trezor device from unauthorized access:
Enter the PIN directly on your device
Required each time the device is unlocked
Device resets after multiple failed attempts
Choose a strong, unique PIN and keep it private.
Step 5: Verify Your Device
Trezor Suite verifies that your device is genuine:
Ensures firmware integrity
Confirms the device has not been tampered with
Protects against counterfeit hardware
Device verification is a critical security step.
