1 — What is Trezor Suite?

Overview

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing Trezor hardware wallets. It provides an interface to securely store keys, sign transactions offline, and monitor your portfolio without exposing private keys to the internet.

Key benefits

2 — Unboxing & First Steps

Secure unboxing

When you receive your Trezor device, verify the tamper-evident seal and packaging. Only initialize the device through the official Trezor website or Trezor Suite app. Never use third-party setup tools unless thoroughly verified.

Initial setup

Connect your device, follow the on-screen setup in Trezor Suite, and create a new wallet. The device will generate a recovery seed — write this down on the supplied card or a steel backup and store it offline.

Important

Never share your recovery seed. Trezor employees never ask for it.

3 — Recovery Seed & Backups

Seed types

Trezor uses a BIP39-compatible recovery seed (usually 12 or 24 words). This seed is the master key — anyone with it can recreate your wallet.

Best backup practices

Note on passphrases

A passphrase creates a hidden wallet. If you lose the passphrase, the hidden wallet is irrecoverable — treat it like another seed.

4 — Firmware & Software Updates

Why updates matter

Firmware updates patch security vulnerabilities and add support for new coins. Always update firmware only through the official Trezor Suite. Verify firmware signatures when prompted.

Update checklist

5 — Receiving & Sending Crypto

Receive safely

Always verify receiving addresses on your Trezor device screen. Trezor Suite shows addresses, but the final authority is the hardware device display.

Send with confidence

Review transaction details (amount, fee, destination) on the device before confirming. Use appropriate fees — check network conditions for timely confirmations.

6 — Privacy & Advanced Features

Privacy tips

Use new receiving addresses for privacy, and consider coin-specific privacy tools where supported. Avoid reusing addresses when possible.

Advanced: Passphrase & Hidden Wallets

Passphrases let you create hidden wallets from the same seed. They are powerful but must be handled carefully—document and store passphrase hints securely.

7 — Supported Coins & Integrations

Wide coin support

Trezor supports hundreds of coins and tokens. Use the Suite to manage popular cryptocurrencies; for some tokens you may need a third-party interface that integrates with Trezor for signing.

Third-party caution

When using external wallets or DApps, confirm transaction data on your device and only grant permissions to trusted sites.

8 — Troubleshooting & Recovery

Common issues

If your device is unresponsive, try a different cable, USB port, or computer. Use official recovery steps from Trezor support if you suspect hardware issues.

Recovery procedure

If your device is lost or damaged, restore your wallet on a new Trezor (or compatible wallet) using your recovery seed and passphrase.

Security reminder

Never enter your recovery seed into software or websites; only input it into a trusted hardware wallet during a guarded restore process.
