Device verification

Check seals and packaging, then connect via Trezor.io/start® to ensure authenticity before installing anything.

Trezor Suite install

Download the desktop app or use the secure web interface from official links to avoid imitation software.

Initialize or recover

Create a new wallet with a fresh recovery seed or recover an existing one — all seed handling stays on the device.

Send & receive safely

Verify addresses and amounts on the hardware wallet screen to block phishing and tampering.

Privacy controls

Use labels, separate accounts, and coin control in Trezor Suite to organize funds and limit linkage.

Firmware & updates

Apply updates from official prompts and keep your environment hardened against emerging threats.

Initialize a new wallet or recover using your offline seed — entered only on the device screen.
Write the recovery seed on paper; verify each word carefully and store it offline.
Set a strong PIN and optionally a passphrase if you understand the trade‑offs.
Add accounts for supported networks; the app will synchronize balances and history.
Test with a small transaction; confirm addresses and fees on-device before sending.

Security checklist you should never skip

These habits help keep your hardware wallet secure and your self‑custody consistent over time.

  • Use only official links: Trezor.io/start® and Trezor.io/trezor-suite.
  • Never type the recovery seed into any computer or website; device and paper only.
  • Verify addresses and amounts on the device screen for every transaction, no exceptions.
  • Keep firmware, Trezor Suite, and your OS updated via official prompts.
  • Store the recovery seed offline; avoid photos, scans, and cloud storage.
  • Label accounts and separate long‑term storage from daily spending.

Desktop vs web — picking your flow

The desktop app offers an installed, distraction‑free environment, while the web app is handy on secondary machines. In both cases, the hardware wallet screen is the source of truth for approvals.

  • Use desktop for deeper reviews and routine management.
  • Use web when traveling or switching computers.
  • Always confirm on-device before signing any operation.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is Trezor.io/start®?

It’s the official onboarding page for Trezor hardware wallets, guiding you through device setup, Trezor Suite installation, and secure recovery seed handling.

2. Why should I begin at the official site?

Starting at Trezor.io/start® avoids fake downloads and phishing pages, ensuring your software and instructions are authentic and safe.

3. Do I ever type my seed in the app?

No. Recovery seed entry is on the hardware wallet screen only. The app provides guidance but never asks you to type the seed into your computer or browser.

4. Is Trezor Suite free?

Yes. Trezor Suite is free to use. Some integrated services (swaps, purchases) may have fees shown clearly before you confirm on-device.

5. Which platforms are supported?

A desktop app for major operating systems and a secure web app are available from official links at Trezor.io/trezor-suite.

6. How does coin control help privacy?

Coin control lets you choose which inputs to spend, limiting linkage between funds and improving practical privacy in your transactions.

7. Can I use a passphrase?

Yes, if you understand the responsibility. Passphrases create additional wallets; losing the passphrase means losing access despite having the seed.

8. What if I reinstall or switch computers?

Your funds remain on chain, secured by your hardware wallet and seed. Reinstall Trezor Suite, reconnect your device, and re‑add accounts to resync balances and history.

9. How do I avoid fake sites?

Type the URL yourself or use a trusted bookmark. Skip search-result ads and unsolicited links. Check the certificate and exact domain spelling every time.

10. Where can I learn more?

Explore Trezor Learn, the blog, and documentation for deeper guidance on backups, privacy, labeling, and long‑term self‑custody strategies.
