Introduction
Welcome to your Trezor Suite® getting started guide. This article walks you from download to daily use, focusing on security-first steps and common pitfalls. Follow each section in order and keep your hardware device present. We include H1–H5 heading examples so you can see how a clean HTML structure supports accessible content and printing.
Why Trezor Suite®?
Trezor Suite® is an app interface designed to manage your hardware wallet: send and receive cryptocurrencies, check balances, and control advanced features. The suite pairs with the physical Trezor device to keep your private keys offline while allowing convenient management on a desktop or laptop.
Before you begin
Make sure you have: a genuine Trezor hardware device, a secure computer (free from malware), a backup notebook for writing your recovery seed, and a stable internet connection. Never share your recovery seed or enter it into any website or app other than the official recovery prompt on your device during an authorized recovery operation.
Supported platforms (H5 example)
Windows · macOS · Linux
Download the Trezor Suite® desktop app for your operating system or use the web-based interface if you prefer. Desktop apps are recommended for regular use due to better offline/online security controls.
Step-by-step setup
1. Download and verify
Always download from the official source. Check the vendor’s domain and, if available, verify checksums or signatures. After downloading, review system prompts and allow the installation only if you trust the source.
2. Install and launch
Run the installer for your platform. On first launch, Trezor Suite® will prompt you to connect your Trezor hardware device. Use the official USB cable that came with the device or a high-quality cable — avoid cheap adapters if possible.
3. Create or recover a wallet
If you are new: choose to create a new wallet. The device will display a recovery phrase (also called seed). Write it down on paper — not on a computer or phone. Store that paper in a safe place. If recovering: choose "Recover wallet" and type the words into the device using the device’s screen and buttons only.
Security best practices
Physical security
Keep your device in a safe place when not in use. Treat the recovery seed as the single most important secret: anyone with it can control your funds. Use a safe, a safety deposit box, or a security-focused backup service if you manage very large amounts.
Software hygiene
Keep your computer updated, run reputable anti-malware software, and avoid installing unnecessary browser extensions. Use the official Trezor Suite® only — never trust random pop-ups or unsolicited instructions to connect your device.
PIN and passphrase
Set a PIN on your Trezor device for daily protection; the PIN prevents unauthorized local use. Optionally, use a passphrase (a BIP39-style extra word) to create a hidden wallet. Remember: a passphrase is not recoverable without the exact text you used, and losing it means losing access to the funds in that hidden wallet.
Managing accounts
Adding and organizing coins
Trezor Suite® supports many cryptocurrencies. Add accounts from the Accounts view. Label each account clearly so that you can identify which purpose each wallet serves — for example: Savings, Trading, Cold Storage.
Sending and receiving
When receiving, always verify the address on your Trezor device screen and then copy it from the device or the Suite app. When sending, check amounts and fees carefully. For larger transfers, consider a small test transaction first.
Troubleshooting & maintenance
Common issues
If your device is not recognized: try a different USB port, cable, or computer. If the Suite app warns about outdated firmware, follow the official prompts to upgrade only via the official Suite app. Firmware updates are signed; never install firmware from unknown sources.
Lost recovery seed
If you lose your seed and still have access to your device with a PIN, create a new wallet and transfer funds to the new wallet immediately — then back up the new seed. If you have lost both the device and the seed, funds are likely unrecoverable.
Regular maintenance
Periodically check for software updates and review your account list. Reconfirm backup locations and, if you rotate keys, do so in a controlled way and move small test amounts first.

Final notes
Always prioritize official channels and double-check web addresses and signatures. Keep your recovery seed offline and treat it like the master key to your funds. With careful setup and routine checks, Trezor Suite® is an excellent tool for secure cryptocurrency management.
