Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web application for interacting with your Trezor hardware wallet. This presentation walks you through the entire journey: from unboxing and initial setup, to daily use, best security practices, and troubleshooting. The content is structured so each slide/section can be printed or used directly as presentation notes.
Anyone who owns or plans to buy a Trezor hardware wallet and wants a guided, secure setup and usage guide. This includes beginners new to crypto and intermediate users seeking better security hygiene.
When you receive your Trezor device: verify the box is sealed and comes from an official vendor. Trezor-branded packaging has tamper-evident seals and clear printed information. If anything looks unusual — missing seal, damaged box, or suspicious seller — stop and contact support via the official support page.
Inside the box you should find the device itself, a USB cable, recovery cards (or seed card), and quick-start leaflets. Keep the recovery card empty and never write the seed on any device connected to the internet.
Always download Trezor Suite® from the official channels. We included 10 official links above for convenience. Installing from any other source risks tampered software.
Trezor Suite® exists as a desktop application and a web interface. Desktop is recommended for everyday use because it isolates the app from browser extensions and potential web-based attacks.
Follow Suite's guided flow. The steps below outline the typical process:
The device will prompt you to set a PIN. This PIN is required each time the device is connected and protects against local theft. Choose a PIN you can remember but that’s not easily guessable. Avoid birthdates or simple sequences.
The recovery seed is the single most important piece of data. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, the seed restores your funds. Do not share it, photograph it, or store it digitally. Consider using multiple physical copies stored in separate, secure locations.
Write your 12, 18 or 24-word seed on the recovery card. Confirm the words when prompted. Trezor Suite will verify the backup is complete.
Trezor supports an optional passphrase (BIP-39 passphrase) that acts as a 25th word. This creates a hidden wallet. Use passphrase only if you understand the risks and implications: losing the passphrase means losing access to funds and there is no recovery mechanism for forgotten passphrases.
Trezor Suite® lists supported coins and lets you create accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many tokens. Click "Add account", choose the coin, and Suite will show your account and addresses.
Firmware updates deliver security patches and new features. Always update firmware through Trezor Suite® and verify the update using the device screen prompts.
If something goes wrong, you can restore your wallet using your recovery seed. Keep the seed secure and separate from the device — recovery is the path forward.
Using a passphrase creates a hidden wallet. It’s a powerful tool for privacy and plausible deniability, but it increases complexity and risk. Only advanced users should rely on passphrase-protected wallets.
Suite supports multiple accounts under the same device. Use separate accounts for different purposes (savings, trading, recurring payments) to keep clear accounting and reduce mistakes.
Trezor devices can be used with compatible third-party wallets and services (for example, some web wallets and DeFi dApps). When using third parties, ensure they are reputable and that you only approve transactions on the hardware device after careful review.
Regular updates reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities. Configure Suite to notify you of updates and review update notes.
Phishing is common — always confirm you are on official domains (we provided a list above). Do not click unsolicited links that claim to be from Trezor or ask for seed words.
If you encounter possible tampering, unexpected device behavior, or a suspected security incident, contact Trezor Support immediately. Include device model, firmware version, and a summary of the issue — but never share your seed or passphrase.
A: Yes — a recovery seed created on one Trezor model can usually be restored on another compatible model, provided you use the same seed length and understand passphrase differences.
A: It is possible, but avoid public or untrusted computers. Use your own device and a trusted environment for sensitive operations.
A: If the recovery card is lost but you still have the device and access, create a new backup immediately. If both the device and backup are lost, funds may be unrecoverable unless you have another copy of the seed or passphrase.
Official resources are the best starting point — we included the important links at the top. Additionally consider these steps:
Trezor Suite® paired with a Trezor hardware wallet provides a robust, user-friendly platform for managing crypto assets. Follow the steps in this presentation to set up securely, maintain good backup habits, and keep both the device and software up to date. If you keep the recovery seed private and verify transactions on the device itself, you’ll be using one of the best-available security solutions for self-custody.
