When you connect your Trezor device to the Trezor Suite, the first step is to choose whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. For most users setting up their device for the first time, you will select “Create a New Wallet”.
The Trezor Suite will automatically generate a unique recovery seed phrase. This is a crucial component of your wallet’s security. Write down the seed phrase exactly as shown and keep it in a secure and private location. Do not store it digitally where it can be accessed by others.
For full official guidance, always refer to the setup page: https://trezor.io/start (link 5). Following official instructions ensures your security and peace of mind.
Your recovery seed is a list of words that can be used to restore access to your wallet if your Trezor device is lost or damaged. The Trezor Suite strongly emphasizes the importance of keeping this seed safe and confidential. Never share it with anyone. If someone obtains your seed phrase, they can access your funds.
After you have recorded your seed phrase, the Trezor Suite will prompt you to confirm it by selecting the correct words in sequence. This confirms that you’ve accurately saved the phrase.
Once your recovery seed is confirmed, the Trezor Suite will ask you to set up a PIN. This PIN protects access to your device if it’s connected or in someone else’s possession. Make sure your PIN is memorable but not easily guessable. The Trezor Suite interface makes this process intuitive.
