1. Quick setup checklist
Follow these steps right after switching on your device to ensure a secure foundation.
- Download Trezor Suite from the official site and install it on your computer.
- Connect your device and create a new wallet — write down your recovery seed on the provided card (do not store digitally).
- Set a strong PIN on the device — longer is better; avoid birthdays or simple sequences.
- Verify firmware authenticity when prompted by the Suite before updating.
2. Core features explained
Device-first security
Private keys never leave your hardware device — transactions are signed locally. The Suite provides a clear interface for verifying addresses and transaction details.
Portfolio & exchange
Manage multiple cryptocurrencies, check portfolio value, and use integrated exchange partners directly within the Suite for convenience.
Advanced features
- Passphrase support for creating hidden wallets.
- Multiple accounts and coin-specific settings.
- Transaction labeling and exportable history for accounting.
3. Practical security tips
Always keep your recovery seed offline, split across secure locations if needed, and never share it. If you must store a backup, use a durable metal option rather than paper.
- Never reveal your seed or PIN to anyone — Trezor staff will never ask for them.
- Confirm device screens before approving transactions; phishing attacks rely on hurried confirmations.
- Be cautious with browser extensions and unknown software — use the Suite app for the safest experience.
4. FAQ & Troubleshooting
What if I lose my device?
Recover using your seed on a new Trezor device or a compatible recovery tool — only if you control your seed. If the seed is lost and not backed up, funds are unrecoverable.
Can I use multiple devices?
Yes — you may initialize several devices from the same seed for redundancy, but treat each device as sensitive and keep them secure.
