Introduction
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface designed to manage Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a secure, user-friendly environment to interact with your cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys safely on the device. This guide explains how Trezor Suite works, how to set it up, and how to use its most important features.
Why use Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite bridges the gap between hardware-level security and a modern wallet experience. Unlike custodial services, Trezor Suite preserves user ownership of private keys. It supports multiple currencies, portfolio overviews, transaction history, and third-party integrations — all while enforcing strong security defaults.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is for first-time Trezor users, people migrating from other wallets, and power users who want to tighten security and improve workflow with Trezor Suite.
Getting started: Installation & first use
1. Downloading Trezor Suite
Download Trezor Suite from the official site to avoid phishing: use the links in the Official Links section below. Choose the desktop app for frequent use or the web option when you need quick access. Always verify the URL and checksum when available.
2. Connecting your device
Plug in your Trezor device and follow on-screen prompts. During initialization you will:
- Create a new wallet or recover from a seed phrase.
- Set a PIN on the device — this protects against physical attacks.
- Write down the recovery seed and store it offline in a secure location.
Tip:
If you already have a seed from another wallet, use the recover wallet option — Trezor Suite will guide you step-by-step.
3. Updating firmware
After first connection, check for firmware updates. Trezor regularly publishes firmware improvements that fix vulnerabilities and add features. Firmware can be updated directly from Trezor Suite.
Safety note:
Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or a website. Firmware updates are signed — the Suite verifies signatures before installation.
Core features of Trezor Suite
Portfolio & accounts
Trezor Suite shows a consolidated portfolio view with balances and recent transactions. You can create multiple accounts per cryptocurrency and label them for bookkeeping.
Transactions & coin support
Send, receive, and sign transactions from within the Suite. Trezor supports major coins and tokens; when a coin requires third-party integration the Suite will link you to the recommended service.
Coin control & advanced features
Advanced users can set custom fees, coin selection, and view raw transaction data. The export and discovery tools are useful for accounting and tax reporting.
Privacy tools
The Suite includes privacy-conscious defaults such as no account telemetry, and provides guidance on best practices for transaction linking and address reuse.
Integrations
Trezor Suite integrates with popular services and dApps through safe bridges when necessary. This allows interacting with DeFi or token swaps while keeping keys offline.
Security best practices
Protecting your recovery seed
Your recovery phrase is the ultimate key to your funds. Store it physically on non-digital media (steel backup is recommended). Split storage, geographically separated backups, and multi-person custodianship are common strategies for high-value holdings.
PIN & passphrase
Use a PIN on your Trezor and consider an optional passphrase (hidden wallet) for extra security. Remember: passphrases are not stored anywhere — if you forget it, access is lost.
Phishing & website safety
Always check the domain and TLS certificate before entering any sensitive information. Official Trezor links are provided below. Trezor Suite will warn you if something looks suspicious.
Device tamper checks
Inspect packaging and the device for physical tampering if buying from a reseller. Buying directly from the official store reduces this risk.
