Setting Up Trezor Suite

Acquiring a Trezor Device

To start using Trezor Suite, you first need to purchase a Trezor hardware wallet. Ensure you buy it from the official Trezor website or authorized resellers to avoid counterfeit products. Trezor offers different models, such as Trezor One and Trezor Model T, each catering to different user needs.

Connecting to Your Computer

After acquiring your Trezor device, connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. This physical connection ensures your private keys remain isolated from online threats.

Installing Trezor Suite or Trezor Bridge

Next, you need to install the Trezor Suite (a standalone desktop application) or Trezor Bridge (for web browsers). These software components facilitate secure communication between your Trezor device and computer. You can download the required software from the official Trezor website.

The Trezor Login Process

Entering Your PIN

Security begins with setting up a Personal Identification Number (PIN) on your Trezor device. During the login process, you’ll be prompted to enter this PIN, which acts as the first layer of protection. Even if your device is lost or stolen, the PIN makes unauthorized access difficult.

Confirming on Trezor Device

After entering your PIN, the device will display transaction details or other relevant information. You must confirm these actions by physically pressing the corresponding buttons on the Trezor device. This step ensures that only someone with physical access to the device can complete the login process​ (Trezor)​.

Optional Passphrase

For additional security, you can enable a passphrase during the Trezor login process. This acts as an extra layer of protection, adding a "25th word" to your recovery seed. If you choose to enable it, you will need to enter the passphrase each time you log in.
