Trezor Suite | Avoiding Common First-Time Setup Errors

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Downloading from the wrong place. Fake wallet apps are a leading cause of crypto loss. Always start at trezor.io and verify the download.
Storing the seed digitally. A photo, a note file, or a cloud document can all be stolen. Keep the seed offline.
Ignoring the device screen. The whole security model depends on you reading the address and amount on the device, not just on the computer.
Skipping the test transaction. A small first transfer catches setup mistakes cheaply.
Setting a passphrase you don't fully understand. It's a great feature, but forgetting a passphrase is permanent. Learn how it works before relying on it.
