Overview
Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web application for managing your Trezor hardware wallet. It lets you securely view balances, sign transactions, manage accounts and keep firmware and app software up to date. This guide walks you through the essential steps to get started and highlights best security practices.
Why Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is designed to keep most critical operations offline on your Trezor device while offering a user-friendly app interface for portfolio view, swapping, staking and account management. Always use the official Suite app or web interface linked below; never use third-party downloads from unknown sources.
Quick checklist (Before you begin)
- Have your Trezor device (Model One, Model T or current model) and USB cable ready.
- Use a clean computer with updated OS and security patches.
- Download Trezor Suite from the official site (links below) and verify checksums if provided.
- Prepare a safe place for your recovery seed — never store it digitally.
Step-by-step: Install & first-run
-
Download the official app
Choose the desktop installer for your OS or use the web app. Prefer desktop for frequent use; web works for quick checks. After downloading, verify the file if verification instructions are provided by the developer.
-
Connect your device
Plug in your Trezor and follow on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite. The device display will ask you to confirm actions; always confirm on the physical device itself — never rely solely on your computer screen.
-
Initialize or recover
New wallet
When creating a new wallet, the device will generate a recovery seed. Write down the seed by hand on the provided card and store it offline, secure and private.
Existing seed
If recovering, enter the seed on the device only (never type your seed into a computer or phone app).
-
Set a PIN and optional passphrase
Choose a strong PIN on the device. For advanced protection use a passphrase (acts like an additional word added to your seed) — note that passphrases are powerful but must be remembered; there is no recovery if lost.
-
Update firmware & app
After setup, check for firmware and Suite updates. Firmware updates are installed via the device and verified by the app. Keeping firmware up to date reduces compatibility issues and improves security.
Security Best Practices
Harden your setup
- Buy devices only from official vendors or the Trezor website to avoid tampered units.
- Never share your recovery seed, PIN or passphrase.
- Use an offline, fire/water-resistant safe for seed storage if possible.
Software hygiene
Verify downloads and prefer official sources. Avoid browser extensions and untrusted mobile apps when managing large balances. For browsing dApps, use WalletConnect-like integrations that let your Trezor sign on-device.
Troubleshooting & Support
Common issues
If Suite cannot detect the device: try a different USB cable and port, reboot your computer, and ensure drivers are installed (if required for your OS). If you see unexpected prompts on the device, disconnect and contact official support.
When to contact support
Contact official support for hardware faults, lost/stolen device guidance or if you suspect tampering. Be prepared to describe your device model and steps you took. Support will never ask for your recovery seed.
