Introduction — what is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application designed to manage your hardware wallet and cryptocurrency safely. This guide focuses on practical getting-started steps, visual tips, and security best practices so you can confidently use the Official Site® | Trezor Suite® experience.
Why use Trezor Suite?
Hardware wallets like Trezor isolate private keys and make theft far harder than software wallets. Trezor Suite offers an intuitive interface, portfolio overviews, coin management, and built-in exchange/bridge tools — all while keeping your keys offline.
Quick checklist before you start
- Genuine Trezor device in hand (Model T or One).
- Recovery seed securely written on paper (not phone photos).
- Computer with up-to-date OS and a modern browser (or install the desktop app).
- Visit the canonical application at the Official Site® | Trezor Suite® URL only.
Step-by-step: Install & connect
-
Download from the official source.
Open https://suite.trezor.io and choose the desktop app if you prefer local installation or use the web suite directly. Avoid third-party sites.
-
Connect your Trezor device.
Use the supplied USB cable. Follow on-screen prompts. The Suite will detect the device and guide an initial firmware check.
-
Firmware & device setup.
Initialize a new device or recover an existing seed. If you're creating a new wallet, follow on-device prompts to generate your recovery seed. Do not share the seed with anyone.
-
Set a strong PIN.
Use a unique numeric PIN; this protects the device if lost or stolen.
-
Confirm via device screen.
Always verify actions on the hardware device display — never trust confirmations shown only on your computer screen.
Harden your setup
Security note: Keep your written recovery seed private, store it in a safe location, and consider using a metal backup plate for long-term durability.
Using the Suite: basic workflow
Dashboard & portfolio
After setup, the Dashboard shows balances, recent transactions, and portfolio performance. The UI includes charts and quick action buttons to send/receive coins.
Receiving crypto
Click Receive
, choose an account (or create one), and verify the address on your device’s screen before sharing it. This prevents address-manipulation malware.
Sending crypto
Use Send
, enter the destination, amount, and fees. Always confirm the transaction details on the device display — the Suite will prompt you to physically approve on the Trezor device.
Troubleshooting & tips
Common issues
- If Suite doesn't detect your device: try a different USB port, verify cable supports data (not charge-only), and reboot your computer.
- If firmware update fails: follow on-screen recovery steps from the Suite or consult official docs on the Official Site® | Trezor Suite®.
- If you lose your seed: funds can only be recovered with that seed — treat it like the key to a safe.
Privacy & advanced settings
The Suite supports connecting to your own node, coinjoin integrations, and privacy-preserving features; explore Settings → Advanced
to tailor behaviour. Advanced users can increase privacy by avoiding custodial services and limiting metadata exposure.
Best practices
Daily habits
Check addresses on-device, keep firmware updated, and never type your seed into a phone or computer. Use a dedicated computer for crypto if you manage large amounts.
Backup & recovery
Make at least two independent backups of your recovery seed and store them in separate secure locations (e.g., home safe + bank safe deposit). Consider using a metal backup for fire/water resistance.
