Connecting Your Trezor Device

Installing Firmware & Updates

When you start your device for the first time, Trezor Suite® will prompt you to install the latest firmware. This firmware update is crucial to keep your device safe from vulnerabilities and to benefit from new features. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this process swiftly.

Creating a New Wallet

After firmware installation, you can create a new wallet. Trezor Suite® guides you through generating a secure recovery seed phrase — a set of 24 words essential for wallet recovery. Write these down carefully and store them offline for ultimate protection.

If you already have a wallet, you can recover it by entering your existing recovery seed into the Suite®. This function is invaluable in case you need to restore access after device loss or damage.

PIN and Passphrase Setup

To add another layer of security, set up a PIN code on your device. For advanced users, enabling a passphrase adds an additional cryptographic key, making unauthorized access even more difficult.
