Overview — What is Trezor Suite and why this guide?
Trezor Suite is the official desktop & web app from Trezor (SatoshiLabs) used to manage cryptocurrency with hardware wallets. This guide is written to help new users get started quickly and safely — covering initial setup, common pitfalls, and where to find official help.
Intended audience
New Trezor hardware owners, returning users upgrading their setup, or anyone who wants a compact handoff-style checklist for handing device control securely.
Setup steps — quick practical flow
1. Download & Prepare
Download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website or use the web app. Prefer the desktop app for a stable, offline-capable experience.
2. Connect device & install firmware
Plug your Trezor into the computer, follow the Suite prompts to install the latest firmware. Never use third-party firmware sources — only accept updates shown in Trezor Suite.
3. Create PIN & backup (wallet backup)
Create a strong PIN on the device and write down the wallet backup (seed/backup words) exactly as displayed. Store this backup offline in at least two secure locations.
4. Verify, test, and receive a small amount
Before transferring large amounts, receive a small test transaction to confirm everything is working and that addresses shown in Suite match what your device displays.
Security best practices
Treat your Trezor like cash: keep the device physical and the backup offline. Never enter your backup into a computer, never share your PIN, and only download Suite from official sources.
Recommended protections
- Buy devices from the official store or authorized resellers only.
- Check packaging and tamper warnings when unboxing.
- Keep firmware up to date only via Suite prompts.
- Use a passphrase (optional advanced security) with caution — losing the passphrase can lock you out permanently.

Closing / Handoff checklist
When handing the device or completing onboarding, ensure: firmware updated, PIN set, backup confirmed written and stored, small test transaction verified, and the recipient knows where to find official support and guides.
