Get Trezor Suite View Setup Steps1. Download & Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface for managing your Trezor wallet. Always download directly from the official site to avoid tampered files. Versions are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After installation, launch the app and connect your Trezor device.
2. Device Setup Process
Initialize a New Device
When you connect your Trezor for the first time, choose Set up as new device. Follow on-screen instructions to create a PIN, back up your recovery seed, and confirm details on the device screen. This process ensures your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
Recover an Existing Wallet
If restoring from an existing seed, choose Recover wallet. Enter the words securely on the device itself. Never type your seed into a computer or online form—only into your Trezor hardware screen.
3. Security Best Practices
- Recovery Seed: Write down your 12/24-word recovery seed on paper and keep it offline. Consider a metal backup for durability.
- PIN Code: Use a strong, unique PIN to protect against unauthorized access.
- Passphrase: Advanced users may enable a passphrase (a “25th word”) for extra security.
- Verify Addresses: Always confirm addresses and amounts on your Trezor device screen before approving transactions.
