Introduction to Trézor Device Setup
Trézor hardware wallets are designed to provide maximum security for digital assets. Properly starting up your device ensures that private keys remain offline, and your cryptocurrencies are protected from malware or unauthorized access.
Downloading Trézor Suite
Trézor Suite is the official companion application for managing your hardware wallet. Always download it from the official Trézor Start page to prevent malware or phishing attacks. Trézor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a web app.
Connecting Your Trézor Device
- Plug in your Trézor hardware wallet via USB.
- Open Trézor Suite and select Initialize Device.
- Create a new wallet or recover an existing wallet using your 24-word recovery seed.
- Set a secure PIN to prevent unauthorized access to your device.
Securing Your Recovery Seed
The 24-word recovery seed is essential for restoring your wallet. Write it down on the recovery card and store it offline in a secure location. Never share it or enter it into a computer or smartphone, as doing so can compromise your assets.
Accessing Trézor Suite
Trézor Suite login relies on your hardware wallet connection. Connect the device, enter your PIN, and access your crypto portfolio. Every transaction or operation must be confirmed on your device, keeping your private keys offline.
Managing Cryptocurrencies
- Check balances for supported cryptocurrencies in real-time.
- Send and receive coins safely through Trézor Suite.
- Exchange assets within Trézor Suite using integrated services.
- Install and manage apps for specific blockchain networks directly on your device.
Security Best Practices
- Only download Trézor Suite from official sources.
- Keep your device firmware up to date.
- Verify all transactions on your hardware wallet before confirming.
- Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone.
- Consider using a passphrase for additional security.
