Getting Started with Trezor Suite – Setup Guide

Setting up Trezor Suite is straightforward. Follow this guide to begin managing your cryptocurrency securely with Trezor Suite and your Trezor hardware wallet.

Step 1: Download Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor website and download Trezor Suite for your operating system—Windows, macOS, or Linux. Always download directly from the official source to ensure authenticity. Trezor Suite is available for free.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts. Trezor Suite requires minimal system resources and installs quickly. Once installation is complete, launch Trezor Suite.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug your Trezor hardware wallet into your computer using the USB cable. Trezor Suite will automatically detect the device. If this is your first time connecting to Trezor Suite, the application will verify your device's authenticity.

Step 4: Create or Recover a Wallet in Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite offers two options:

Create a New Wallet: Generate a fresh recovery phrase (12 or 24 words) directly on your Trezor device. Write this phrase on paper and store it securely offline. This phrase is your backup.

Recover an Existing Wallet: If you have an existing recovery phrase, use Trezor Suite to restore your wallet and access your funds.

Step 5: Set Your PIN in Trezor Suite

During setup in Trezor Suite, create a PIN for your device. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access if someone gains physical access to your Trezor.

Step 6: Verify Your Recovery Phrase

Trezor Suite will ask you to confirm your recovery phrase by selecting the correct words in order. This verification ensures you've written your backup correctly. Never skip this step—your recovery phrase is irreplaceable.

Step 7: Enable Passphrase Protection (Optional)

For advanced security, Trezor Suite allows you to set a passphrase. This additional password is required every time you access your wallet through Trezor Suite, adding an extra security layer.

Step 8: Explore Trezor Suite Dashboard

Once setup is complete, you'll access Trezor Suite's main dashboard. Here you can:

• View your account balances
• Check transaction history
• Receive and send cryptocurrency
• Adjust Trezor Suite settings

Step 9: Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Store your recovery phrase in a secure location—preferably a physical safe or safety deposit box. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, and never store it digitally. Your recovery phrase is the key to your entire cryptocurrency portfolio.

Step 10: Start Using Trezor Suite

You're now ready to manage your cryptocurrency with Trezor Suite. Begin by receiving funds, then explore sending transactions, managing multiple accounts, and utilizing Trezor Suite's advanced features.
