Trezor Suite® | Official Site® | Getting Started

Welcome to the official Trezor Suite® guide — step-by-step instructions to download, install, initialize, and securely manage your cryptocurrencies with a Trezor hardware wallet.

Overview

Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web application that serves as a secure interface for Trezor hardware wallets (Trezor Model T, Trezor One). Suite enables you to manage accounts, send and receive cryptocurrencies, verify transactions on-device, export transaction history, and interact with supported integrations — all while keeping private keys offline on your Trezor device.

This guide focuses on practical, security-first steps to get you up and running safely. Always use official downloads and follow best practices for seed backup and device management.

What's Needed Before You Begin

Download & Install

  1. Visit the official site: Type trezor.io directly or use a trusted bookmark. Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails.
  2. Choose Suite: Click the Trezor Suite download option. You may use the web version or download the desktop installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
  3. Install: Run the desktop installer if you chose that option, or open Suite in your browser. Grant USB permissions if using the web version when prompted.
  4. Connect device: Plug in your Trezor with a data-capable cable. Follow on-screen prompts to proceed.

Tip: Keep a verified bookmark to the official download page to reduce phishing risk.

Initial Device Setup

  1. Create a new device if this is your first Trezor, or select Recover wallet if you already have a recovery seed.
  2. Set a PIN directly on the device — this prevents unauthorized physical access.
  3. Write the recovery seed exactly as shown on the device. Use the supplied recovery card or durable medium. Do not store the seed digitally.
  4. Confirm the seed on the device when prompted; only then is your wallet initialized.

Warning: The recovery seed is the ultimate key to your funds. Losing it without any backup means permanent loss.

Basic Usage — Send & Receive

Receive

Open Trezor Suite, choose the account and coin, and click Receive. Suite will display an address; the Trezor device screen will show the same address. Always verify the address on the device before sharing it with anyone — this prevents address substitution attacks.

Send

Click Send, enter recipient address and amount, and review fee suggestions. The transaction will be shown on your Trezor device for verification and signing. Validate all details on-device and only then confirm the transaction.

For large transfers, consider sending a small test amount first.

Security Best Practices

  • Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or online form.
  • Store the recovery seed offline in multiple secure locations (consider steel backups for durability).
  • Use a strong and memorable PIN; change it if you suspect compromise.
  • Consider using a passphrase for an additional hidden wallet — understand the risks (if forgotten, funds are irrecoverable).
  • Always verify transaction details and receiving addresses on the Trezor device screen.
  • Keep your OS, browser, and Suite up to date to reduce vulnerability to known exploits.

Passphrase — Power & Responsibility

A passphrase acts as an additional secret combined with your recovery seed to create a distinct wallet. It can increase privacy and security but also adds complexity: if you forget the passphrase, funds in that hidden wallet cannot be recovered. Use passphrases only if you understand these trade-offs and have a secure storage plan.

Advanced Features & Integrations

Trezor Suite supports many popular coins natively and provides guidance for integrating third-party services for swaps, DeFi interactions, and token support. Suite lets you export transaction history for taxes and bookkeeping. When using third-party integrations, always verify the service reputation and review transaction details on-device before signing.

Troubleshooting — Common Issues

Device not detected: Try a different USB cable and port, ensure the cable supports data, and grant browser permissions for USB devices. Restart Suite and your computer if necessary.

Firmware update problems: Reconnect the device, ensure you followed on-screen steps, and update via the official Suite prompts only. Contact official support if issues persist.

Lost recovery seed: If you cannot find your recovery seed, check all secure locations. Without the seed (and passphrase, if set), recovery is generally impossible — this underscores the importance of secure backups.

Mobile & Web Access

Trezor Suite is available as a web app and desktop app. While there isn't a full-featured native mobile Suite, some companion mobile integrations exist for viewing portfolio information or using third-party mobile wallets that support Trezor signing flows. When using mobile or browser-based integrations, ensure you authorize and verify transactions directly on your Trezor device.

FAQ — Quick Answers

Is Trezor Suite open source? Many components of Trezor firmware and software are open source and available for review on the official GitHub repositories.

Can I use Suite on multiple computers? Yes — your Trezor device and recovery seed are portable. You can connect the device to any trusted computer that runs Suite or supports the web version.

What should I do if my device is stolen? A thief would still need the PIN (and passphrase, if used) to access accounts. Use your recovery seed to restore funds to a new device and monitor any linked accounts. Contact official support for additional guidance.

Ready to Secure Your Crypto?

Download Trezor Suite from the official site, connect your Trezor device, and follow the setup steps above. Take the time to set a strong PIN and create durable, offline backups of your recovery seed. Security and good habits are the best defense for protecting your digital assets.

For device-specific or account-specific questions, consult the official Trezor Help Center or contact official support channels. Never share your recovery seed or private keys with anyone.
