Final summary of the benefits of using Trezor Suite and encouragement for beginners to embrace self-custody confidently.
The **Recovery Phrase** is the single most important part. It is the only backup of your funds. It must be written down on the provided card (or a fire-proof alternative) and stored securely offline. Never type it on a computer or take a digital picture of it.
If you lose your device, your funds are still safe, provided you have securely stored your Recovery Phrase. You can buy a new Trezor (or a different compatible wallet) and use your **Recovery Phrase** to restore access to your entire wallet and all your crypto assets.
A Passphrase (or 25th word) is an optional, user-defined layer of security that creates a hidden wallet, separate from the one protected by only the Recovery Phrase. It is recommended for advanced users who want an extra layer of security, especially against physical attacks or extortion. However, if you forget your Passphrase, your funds are permanently lost, even with the Recovery Phrase.
Verifying the address on the Trezor's trusted screen prevents **malware (like a clipboard hijacker)** on your computer from silently swapping the address you copied with a malicious one. The Trezor's screen is fully isolated and secure, guaranteeing you are sending funds to the correct destination.
Both the desktop and web versions of Trezor Suite are designed to be secure. The desktop app is generally preferred as it is less susceptible to potential browser-based risks and does not rely on browser extensions. However, both rely on the ultimate security of your Trezor device confirming every transaction.
