Why Trezor Suite®?
Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web companion for Trezor hardware wallets, designed to keep your private keys offline while offering a rich management interface. Use Trezor Suite® to send, receive, and organize assets, apply advanced settings, and integrate with trusted third-party services — all while your keys remain protected on the device.
Download & Verify
Always download Trezor Suite® from the official Trezor website. Verifying the download ensures you are not installing tampered software. Look for checksum or signature verification where provided and avoid third-party mirrors.
- Visit the official Trezor download page to choose your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux).
- Verify installer integrity with checksums or signatures if available.
- Install on a secure machine and avoid public or shared computers.
Initial Setup & Device Pairing
Connect your Trezor device to your computer and follow the guided setup. Choose to create a new wallet or restore from an existing recovery seed. The device will display setup steps — never type your recovery seed into your computer.
- Create a PIN directly on your Trezor device.
- Write down the recovery seed on paper or use a durable metal backup.
- Install only the cryptocurrency apps you need — each app manages a specific blockchain.
Security Fundamentals
Security is at the heart of using Trezor Suite®. The Trezor device handles signing transactions and storing private keys offline. Always verify transaction details on the device screen and never share your recovery phrase.
Security tip: Consider a passphrase for hidden wallets if you need additional separation of funds. Remember: if you lose the passphrase, those funds cannot be restored.
Managing Accounts & Portfolio
Use Trezor Suite® to add accounts for each supported cryptocurrency. Label accounts, track balances, and export transaction history for taxes or accounting. The portfolio view helps you understand allocation and performance in one place.
- Label accounts clearly to avoid errors when sending funds.
- Use portfolio analytics to review performance over time.
- Export transactions if you need clear records for tax reporting.
Using Advanced Features
Trezor Suite® supports advanced features such as integrations with decentralized apps (DApps), coin-specific options, and vault-like setups with passphrases. When integrating third-party services, verify their reputation and permissions.
- Connect only reputable DApps and review all requested permissions.
- Use the exchange or swap features with care — compare fees and rates.
Backup & Recovery
Your recovery seed is the single most important backup for your crypto. Store it securely and offline. Consider using a metal backup plate to protect the seed from fire or water damage. Never store the seed in cloud storage, email, or screenshots.
Troubleshooting & Support
If Trezor Suite® doesn’t detect your device, try a different cable or USB port, make sure firmware is up to date, and restart the application. For persistent issues, consult the Trezor Knowledge Base and contact official support channels. Never share your recovery seed with anyone claiming to be support.
