Secure Setup — step by step (2025)

Follow these steps the first time you open Trezor Suite with a new Trezor device. The goal: establish a trusted, offline seed and connect the device without exposing secrets to the internet.

  1. Verify your purchase: Buy from an authorized retailer or directly from trezor.io. Check packaging for tamper-evidence.
  2. Download Suite from official sources: Use the Downloads page to get the desktop app or open the web Suite. Verify checksums for installers before running them.
  3. Connect the device: Plug your Trezor into a computer and open Suite. Follow on-screen prompts for initial firmware checks — accept only official firmware prompts and never install firmware from unknown sources.
  4. Create a new seed on-device: When asked, generate a new recovery seed directly on the device. Write the words by hand on the supplied recovery card — do not copy them to a computer or phone.
  5. Confirm your seed: Suite will prompt you to confirm a subset of seed words on the device. This proves you recorded it correctly.
  6. Optional passphrase: Consider enabling a passphrase (hidden wallet) for extra protection. Understand that losing the passphrase means permanent loss of access unless you recorded it securely.
  7. Update firmware: If Suite suggests a firmware update, verify the release details on the Firmware page and install only signed firmware from official sources.

If anything seems off during setup (unexpected passphrase prompts, mismatched checksums, or unusual device behavior), stop and consult Support.

Daily Use — safe habits

Your daily routine with Trezor Suite should be quick and secure. Use the following checklist whenever you send funds or interact with new smart contracts:

  • Open Trezor Suite from the official source (Web Suite or installed app).
  • Connect your Trezor and check the device's screen: confirm the address and amount shown by Suite matches the details on the device before approving.
  • Double-check recipient addresses by verifying a few leading and trailing characters on the device if you routinely copy/paste addresses.
  • For token approvals or contract interactions, review permission scopes in Suite and prefer time-limited allowances where possible.
  • Regularly review your transaction history and reconcile with on-chain explorers for high-value operations.

Extra tips:

  • Use a separate device or offline environment when recovering seeds to reduce exposure.
  • Keep small, operational balances on hot wallets if you trade frequently; store long-term holdings on a Trezor with minimal exposure.
  • Enable local backups (encrypted) for transaction logs, but never back up your seed on cloud services.

FAQ

Q: Can I restore my wallet from another vendor's seed?
A: Generally no — different wallets use different seed derivation standards. Restore only from seeds created or confirmed by your Trezor device when possible. See Seed Phrase.

Q: What if I lose my seed?
A: Without the seed (and passphrase if used) you cannot recover your funds. Store seeds securely and consider using metal backups.

Q: Is Suite free?
A: Yes — the Suite software is free. Integrated third-party services may charge fees for swaps or fiat on-ramps.
