Introduction
What is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for interacting with your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a user-friendly interface to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, send and receive funds, view transaction history, and connect with third-party services. Before you begin, ensure you have a genuine Trezor device bought from an authorized retailer, a secure computer, and a reliable internet connection.
Unboxing and First Steps
Check packaging and connect
When you unbox your Trezor device, inspect the packaging for tamper-evident seals. Connect the device to your computer using the supplied cable. Open Trezor Suite on your desktop or visit the official site. The application will detect your device and guide you through firmware checks. Always install official firmware updates through Trezor Suite — never use third-party firmware.
Creating a New Wallet
Generate your recovery seed
Choose "Create new wallet" to generate a new seed on your Trezor device. The device will display a recovery seed phrase — a sequence of words you must write down on the included recovery card. Do not store the seed digitally, take photos, or enter it into any online form. Store multiple copies in separate secure locations. Consider using a physical backup method such as a metal seed storage plate for long-term protection.
Set a PIN
Set a strong PIN on the device. The PIN prevents unauthorized access if your device is lost or stolen. Trezor devices implement PIN protection with randomized on-screen input to mitigate keyloggers. Do not reuse simple or commonly used PINs. Memorize your PIN and avoid writing it down where it can be found with the device.
Accounts & Transactions
Adding accounts and receiving funds
Within Trezor Suite, add accounts for the cryptocurrencies you plan to manage. Trezor supports many coins and tokens via native integrations and third-party plugins. To receive funds, generate a receive address in Trezor Suite and verify the address on your Trezor device screen. Always confirm that the address displayed in the app matches the one on the device. This verification prevents malware from substituting addresses. For large transfers, test with a small amount first.
Sending funds and fees
When sending funds, review transaction details including recipient address, amount, and network fees. Trezor Suite allows you to choose fee levels for faster confirmation. Double-check addresses and use the device screen to validate transactions before confirming. Keep in mind network congestion can affect fee estimates.
Backup & Recovery
Your seed is the backup
Your recovery seed is the sole backup of your private keys. If your device is lost or damaged, the seed will restore your wallet on a new Trezor or compatible wallet. Store the seed securely and consider a redundant backup strategy. Never share the seed with anyone or enter it into online services. If you suspect your seed has been compromised, move funds to a new wallet immediately.
Security Best Practices
Practical steps to stay safe
Use a dedicated computer or clean browser profile when accessing Trezor Suite to reduce risk from malware. Enable full-disk encryption on your computer and use reputable antivirus tools. Be cautious of phishing sites — bookmark the official site and access it directly rather than following links from emails. Keep firmware and software up to date. Consider using a passphrase (also called a 25th word) for extra security, but understand the responsibility: a passphrase is not recoverable if lost.
Advanced: multisig & integrations
Trezor Suite integrates with decentralized exchanges, portfolio trackers, and third-party services. Review permissions carefully when connecting external applications. Use multisignature setups for additional protection if managing large funds. Explore advanced settings in Trezor Suite for coin-specific options and experimental features only when you fully understand them.
Tips and Frequently Asked Questions
Practical tips
Keep a ledger of supported addresses and account labels to simplify audits. If multiple users will access the wallet, use shared policies like multisig rather than sharing seeds or PINs. For travel, consider a travel seed — a seed that holds only a small portion of your funds — and keep the main seed in a secure location. If you plan to delegate staking or use DeFi services, research the protocols thoroughly and understand smart contract risks. Finally, create a simple recovery plan with trusted contacts and simulate a recovery drill on a spare device if possible.
