Introduction
Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web application designed for managing your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a secure, easy-to-use interface for sending, receiving, and monitoring cryptocurrency accounts. Unlike other wallet apps, Trezor Suite® ensures that your private keys remain offline and fully protected.
In this guide, we cover everything you need to know to get started, from downloading and installing the Suite to performing advanced security and account management tasks. Even beginners can follow along safely and confidently.
Step 1: Download and Install Trezor Suite®
Access the official site
Visit the official Trezor Suite® website. Verify that the URL is correct and that your browser shows a secure HTTPS connection.
Select the correct version
Choose the installer for your operating system: Windows, macOS, or Linux. For web users, the online version offers a simplified interface but may have limitations.
Run the installer
Follow on-screen instructions to install Trezor Suite®. Allow any required system permissions for the app to function correctly.
Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device
Use the original USB cable
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the original cable. Avoid third-party cables to ensure device compatibility and safety.
Verify the connection
The device screen will prompt for confirmation. Always approve actions directly on your Trezor device to prevent unauthorized access.
Step 3: Create or Restore Wallet
Create a new wallet
Select “Create New Wallet.” Trezor Suite® will generate a recovery seed, which is the master backup of your wallet. Write it down carefully and store it in a safe, offline location.
Restore an existing wallet
If you already have a recovery seed, select “Restore Wallet.” Enter your seed carefully. Once confirmed, all your accounts and balances will appear in Trezor Suite®.
Step 4: Set PIN and Optional Passphrase
Set a secure PIN
Choose a strong PIN to protect device access. Trezor displays a randomized keypad to prevent keylogging.
Optional passphrase
Add a passphrase to create a hidden wallet for added security. Store the passphrase offline; never share it digitally.
Step 5: Managing Your Crypto
Send and receive funds
Use Trezor Suite® to send or receive cryptocurrency. Always confirm transactions on your device screen to ensure authenticity.
Monitor balances
View real-time balances across multiple accounts. Trezor Suite® supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies with secure tracking.
Step 6: Firmware Updates and Security
Keep firmware updated
Regularly update your device firmware via Trezor Suite®. Updates improve security and add new features.
Best Practices
- Store your recovery seed offline and in multiple secure locations.
- Enable device passphrases for high-value wallets.
- Confirm all transactions on-device.
- Update Trezor Suite® and device firmware regularly.
- Be cautious of phishing attempts and fake websites.
