Official Site® | Trezor Suite® — Getting Started
Quick guide: How to install Trezor Suite, initialize a Trezor device, and follow security best practices.
Introduction
This brief guide explains the essential steps to begin using Trezor Suite and a Trezor hardware wallet. It is written for first-time users and includes security reminders and links to official resources. The Trezor Suite app is the official interface for managing your Trezor hardware wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Why use Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite keeps your private keys offline while letting you send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies using a modern desktop or web app. The suite provides portfolio tracking and device management tools designed by the Trezor team. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
What you'll need
- Your Trezor device (Model One, Model T, or Safe variants)
- A computer or device with a USB port (or supported adapter)
- Internet access for downloading the app and firmware
Step-by-step: Get started
- Download & verify Trezor Suite. Use the official download page to get the desktop installer or use the web app. Always verify checksums when offered. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Plug in and install firmware. The device typically ships without firmware; Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware during setup. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Create a new wallet. Follow the Suite prompts to create a wallet, set a PIN, and write down the recovery seed (the physical backup phrase). Never store the seed digitally. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Move small test funds first. Send a small test amount before moving large sums—confirm addresses on the device screen each time.
- Explore Suite features. Use the portfolio, transaction history, and coin management features in Trezor Suite to organize your funds. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Security best practices
Never reveal your recovery seed. If asked by anyone or a website to enter your seed, treat it as a scam. Trezor support will never ask for your seed phrase. For deeper learning and troubleshooting, consult the official Trezor Learn and Support sections. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Common security tips
- Buy Trezor devices only from the official store or authorized resellers (to avoid tampering).
- Verify firmware and app signatures when prompted.
- Use a strong device PIN and optional passphrase (if you understand trade-offs).
- Keep multiple offline copies of your recovery phrase in secure physical locations.
Advanced & developer resources
If you want developer docs, integration guides, or the source for Suite, the Trezor Suite documentation and developer resources describe the architecture and APIs. Use those when building third-party tools or integrations. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
