Step 3: Create a New Wallet

In Trezor Suite, select "Create New Wallet." Your device generates private keys internally, never exposing them online. Once the wallet is created, your device displays a recovery seed, which is essential for backup and restoration if the device is lost or damaged.

Step 4: Record Your Recovery Seed

The recovery seed is your master key for restoring your wallet. Write down each word exactly as shown on the device, in order. Do not store it digitally or online. Keep it offline in a secure location. You may also create a secondary backup for added security.

Record every word in the correct order.
Keep the seed offline and secure at all times.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
Optional: create a secondary offline backup for additional safety.

Step 5: Verify Firmware

Trezor Suite automatically checks your device firmware. If an update is available, follow the instructions and confirm it on your device. Regular firmware updates ensure your wallet has the latest security enhancements and features.

Step 6: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

After setup, you can add accounts for supported cryptocurrencies. Each account shows balances, receive addresses, and transaction history. All transactions require confirmation on both the device and in Trezor Suite, providing a dual-layer of security.

Step 7: Explore Advanced Features

Trezor offers advanced features such as passphrase-protected wallets, hidden accounts, and customizable labels. Beginners can stick to the default settings, while advanced users can enhance security and privacy using these features.
