What is Trezor Suite and why do I need it?

Trezor Suite is the interface for your Trezor hardware wallet. It allows you to manage your portfolio, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and securely sign transactions. It is essential for the initial setup and ongoing management of your device.

How do I back up my recovery seed?

During the setup process, your Trezor device will generate a unique recovery seed (usually 12 to 24 words). You must write these down on the provided recovery card in the exact order shown. Never store this seed digitally or take a photo of it.

Is my Trezor device secure out of the box?

Yes, Trezor devices are shipped without firmware installed to ensure that you are the first person to initialize it. The holographic seal on the packaging guarantees that the device has not been tampered with during shipping.

Can I use Trezor with my smartphone?

Yes, Trezor devices can be connected to Android smartphones via WebUSB or an OTG cable. You can manage your assets on the go using the web version of Trezor Suite or compatible mobile apps.

What happens if I lose my Trezor device?

If you lose your device, your funds are still safe as long as you have your recovery seed. You can simply purchase a new Trezor or any other compatible hardware wallet and restore your wallet using the recovery seed words.

Create a New Wallet

Select "Create new wallet". Your device will generate a unique Recovery Seed. This is the most important part of the setup.

Phishing attacks are the #1 cause of crypto loss. Trezor will NEVER ask for your recovery seed online, in an email, or through support chat. If someone asks for it, they are trying to steal your funds.
