Welcome — Quick Start for your Trezor

Begin by downloading the official Trezor Suite application. For the most reliable experience, use the desktop app—however, if you prefer not to install software you can continue in the browser-based web app. The Suite is the control center for your wallet: it lets you set up your device, manage multiple coins, and review transaction history.

The download step is simple: choose your operating system, follow the installer prompts, and then relaunch the Suite when install finishes. If you're on a shared computer, consider creating a dedicated user account to reduce risk while you configure your device.

Installing Trezor Suite takes only a few minutes. If you use the web app, installation is not required—simply open the Suite in your browser and proceed. For desktop installations, the Suite will request permission to run and may ask you to accept a small driver component if needed for your operating system.

When you first launch the Suite, allow any security prompts only if you downloaded the installer from the official site or an exact mirror. Avoid third-party installers—always verify the source to make sure you're not installing a tampered version.

Plug in your device and follow the on-screen setup. The process walks you through creating a new wallet, generating a recovery seed, and optionally setting a PIN. Your recovery seed is the most critical piece of information: it's the master backup for your coins. Write it down carefully on a physical surface—never store it unencrypted on a computer or online.

Most users complete setup in around 15 minutes. During setup the Trezor will display key words and confirmations on its screen; always verify directly on the device rather than relying solely on on-screen messages in the computer browser to ensure the device is not being manipulated by malware.

Once setup is finished, transfer your assets into the Trezor-managed wallet. Moving funds from exchanges or other hot wallets to your hardware wallet significantly reduces exposure to online threats. Before sending, double-check receiving addresses both in the Suite and on the device display.

Consider moving assets in small batches to confirm the process before transferring large holdings. Use transaction fees strategically — higher fees speed confirmations, while low fees can take longer. For frequent transfers consider scripting or third‑party services that integrate with the Suite—only use reputable tools and verify any external integration.

Security is more than the device—it's habits. Keep your recovery seed offline in a fireproof, waterproof storage if possible. Consider metal plates for seed storage for long-term durability. Never photograph or copy the seed to cloud backups. Use a PIN and enable passphrase support if you need plausibly deniable accounts—remember that passphrases add complexity and you are solely responsible for remembering them.

Keep your Suite updated; software updates patch vulnerabilities and improve compatibility. Only connect to the Suite over trusted networks and avoid public Wi-Fi during key setup or transfers. If you suspect a compromise, move your funds to a freshly created seed on a new device immediately.

If the Suite does not recognize your device, try a different USB cable and port. Some USB cables are power-only—use a data-capable cable. Ensure the device shows the Trezor boot screen before attempting a connection. Clear browser cache if using the web app and reinstall the Suite if the problem persists.

For guided help, Trezor offers knowledge base articles and community forums where common issues are resolved step by step. If needed, you can book a personal onboarding session with an expert for a one-on-one walkthrough.
