Welcome
This short presentation walks you through the essential steps to start using Trezor Suite — the official app for managing your Trezor hardware wallet. You will learn how to install the Suite, connect and set up your device, create and back up a recovery seed, and perform secure transactions. The goal is practical confidence: after these ten slides you should be able to protect your crypto assets and use the Suite safely.
What is Trezor Suite?
Official desktop & web app for your hardware wallet
Trezor Suite is the secure application that lets you manage cryptocurrencies held on Trezor devices. It provides a clean interface for sending, receiving, and checking balances; integrating exchange services; and accessing advanced features like coin-specific settings and passphrase support. Importantly, private keys never leave your hardware device — Suite acts as a safe interface to sign transactions locally.
Why security matters
Protecting private keys = protecting funds
Hardware wallets like Trezor isolate your private keys from online threats. If private keys are exposed, attackers can steal funds permanently. Trezor Suite helps minimize risk by guiding setup, enforcing firmware integrity, and encouraging best practices: firmware updates, strong PINs, and secure seed backups. Treat the recovery seed as the single most sensitive piece of information — never share it or store it digitally.
Before you start
Checklist
- Have your Trezor device (Model One or Model T) and a USB cable
- Use an up-to-date computer with a secure internet connection
- Ready a physical medium for the recovery seed (metal backup preferred)
Completing these items reduces friction during setup and strengthens your long-term security posture.
Install Trezor Suite
Download from the official source
Visit the official Trezor website and download the Suite for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). Verify the site URL and avoid third-party downloads. Optionally, you can use the Suite web version, but desktop is recommended for maximum control. After installation, launch Suite and follow on-screen prompts to connect your device.
Connect & initialize your Trezor
Step-by-step
1. Plug your Trezor into the computer and unlock it with the device screen.
2. If the device is new, choose "Create new wallet" inside Suite. The device will generate a recovery seed — write it down in order and store it offline.
3. Set a secure PIN on the device. Never use simple PINs or reuse passwords from other services.
4. Confirm firmware integrity when prompted. Only accept official firmware updates shown in Suite.
Recovery seed best practices
Backup, test, and secure
Your recovery seed is the ultimate backup. Write it by hand on the supplied card, then transfer it to a hardened metal backup if possible. Keep at least two geographically separated copies in secure locations (safe deposit box, personal safe). Never photograph, email, or store your seed digitally. Periodically confirm that your backups are readable and accessible to you without compromising secrecy.
Sending & receiving crypto
How to send securely
To receive: use the receive tab, choose the correct account and currency, and verify the address shown on the device screen before sharing it. To send: enter the destination address in Suite, choose fees, and confirm the transaction details on your Trezor device — the device displays key information to protect against malware on your computer. When in doubt, always cross-check addresses and amounts manually.
Advanced features
Passphrases, hidden wallets, and integrations
Trezor supports optional passphrases to create hidden wallets and increase privacy. These are powerful but complex — understand the trade-offs: a passphrase that is forgotten cannot be recovered. Suite also integrates with third-party services for exchanges and portfolio tracking. Only link services you trust and read permissions carefully before authorizing connections.
Final tips & next steps
Stay safe, stay updated
Keep your firmware and Suite updated, review security guides from Trezor, and practice safe operational habits: minimal online exposure of your seed, verified downloads, and a conservative approach to new integrations. If you manage substantial funds, consider splitting holdings across accounts or devices and use multisig setups for additional protection. Thank you — you're now ready to secure and manage crypto with Trezor Suite.
