Trézor Suite® – Starting Up Your Device

Getting started with your Trezor® hardware wallet is a crucial step toward securing your digital assets. Trézor Suite® is the official desktop and web application designed to help you safely initialize, manage, and protect your cryptocurrency holdings. This guide walks you through the essential steps for starting up your device using Trézor Suite®, ensuring a smooth and secure onboarding experience.

What Is Trézor Suite®?

Trézor Suite® is an all-in-one interface developed by SatoshiLabs that allows users to manage their Trezor® hardware wallets securely. It provides a clean dashboard, advanced security tools, portfolio tracking, and privacy-enhancing features. Whether you’re setting up a new wallet or restoring an existing one, Trézor Suite® is the recommended environment for interacting with your device.

Step 1: Download and Install Trézor Suite®

To begin, download Trézor Suite® from the official Trezor® website. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a web version. For maximum security, the desktop application is recommended.

After installation, launch Trézor Suite® and connect your Trezor® device using the supplied USB cable. The application will automatically detect your device and guide you through the setup process.

Step 2: Verify Device Authenticity

Security starts with verification. When you connect your Trezor® for the first time, Trézor Suite® will prompt you to confirm that your device is genuine and untampered. This includes checking firmware integrity and ensuring the packaging security seal was intact upon delivery.

If your device does not have firmware installed, Trézor Suite® will guide you through the official firmware installation process. Always confirm the firmware fingerprint directly on your Trezor® screen before proceeding.

Step 3: Create or Recover a Wallet

Once your device is verified, you’ll choose between creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one.

  • Create a new wallet: Trézor Suite® will generate a recovery seed—typically 12, 20, or 24 words. These words must be written down offline and stored securely. They are the only backup to your funds.
  • Recover a wallet: If you already have a recovery seed, Trézor Suite® allows you to restore access safely using on-device confirmation.

Never take digital photos or store your recovery seed online.

Step 4: Set Up Security Features

After wallet creation, Trézor Suite® encourages you to strengthen your security by enabling additional protections:

  • PIN Code: Prevents unauthorized physical access
  • Passphrase: Adds an extra layer of protection beyond the recovery seed
  • Device Label: Helps identify your wallet easily within Trézor Suite®

These features work together to ensure that even if your device is lost or stolen, your assets remain protected.
