Get started with Trezor Suite® — fast, secure, local-first

Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web interface for Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a local-first, privacy-minded environment to manage coins, tokens, firmware updates, and account settings while the private keys remain inside your device. This guide will walk you through a safe first-time setup, everyday tasks, essential security practices, troubleshooting tips, and ten official Trezor resources you should bookmark.

1 — Before you begin: essentials

Prepare a clean workstation: your Trezor device, the supplied USB cable, a computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux), and a private place to write your recovery seed. Do not take photographs of your seed or store it online. Prefer a steel backup for long-term durability. Ensure your computer is updated and avoid installing unofficial wallet software.

What Trezor Suite does for you

Suite helps you initialize devices, sign transactions, install coin integrations, and apply firmware updates. It acts as a UX layer while leaving signing operations on the hardware. This separation reduces attack surfaces and keeps you in full control of private keys.

2 — First-time setup (step-by-step)

Download & verify

Always download Suite from the official start page. Optionally verify signatures or checksums if you follow an extra cautious workflow. Open the downloaded app (or the web Suite) and connect your Trezor device.

Initialize your device

  1. Choose Create new device or Recover existing if you have a seed.
  2. Write down the displayed recovery seed exactly as shown. Treat it as the single source of recovery—store it offline.
  3. Set a PIN on the device. The PIN protects access to the device if it is physically stolen.
  4. Optionally enable a passphrase for additional hidden wallets (use with caution—losing the passphrase means losing access).

Seed handling rules

  • Never type your recovery seed into a computer or website.
  • Do not photograph the seed or copy it to cloud storage.
  • Store backups in multiple, geographically separate secure locations if needed for resilience.

3 — Daily workflows you’ll use

After setup, common actions include viewing portfolio balances, receiving funds, sending transactions, and checking transaction history. Suite displays addresses and amounts; always verify the address on the Trezor device screen before confirming a send.

Receive & inspect

Generate receive addresses in Suite and confirm them on-device before sharing to avoid host-side tampering.

Send & confirm

Review the transaction summary on the host, then verify every detail on your Trezor’s display prior to signing.

Firmware updates

Manage firmware updates through Suite; updates are signed. Only approve updates you initiated and see verified signatures when available.

Coin & token support

Suite supports many coins and tokens. Check compatibility if you plan to use less common chains; links to compatibility are below.

4 — Security best practices (read this)

Security is the central reason to use a hardware wallet. Follow these practices consistently to reduce risk:

  • Keep your recovery seed offline and private.
  • Use a unique device PIN and do not share it.
  • Use passphrase only if you understand recoverability tradeoffs.
  • Download Suite only from official sources and bookmark them.
  • Prefer hardware wallets for larger holdings and move small daily-use amounts into separate accounts.

Recognizing phishing & scams

Phishing sites and emails mimic official pages. Always verify the domain (trezor.io), look for HTTPS, and avoid clicking links in unsolicited messages. When in doubt, visit the bookmarked official support page.

5 — Troubleshooting common issues

If Suite does not detect your device, try the following checklist: use a different USB cable/port, reboot the host, try a different computer, or verify Bridge (if using web Suite) is installed and running. For firmware errors, consult official troubleshooting resources before attempting advanced fixes.

Quick fixes

  • Try another cable or USB port.
  • Restart Suite and reconnect the device.
  • Check Trezor’s firmware page for known issues or advisories.

6 — Advanced features for power users

Advanced users can use coin control, UTXO management for Bitcoin, PSBT workflows for air-gapped signing, passphrase-hidden wallets, and developer integrations via Trezor’s SDKs. If you run a personal node, Suite can be configured to use trusted backends for better privacy.

PSBT & air-gapped signing

Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) let you create and sign transactions on an offline system, increasing security for high-value transfers. Use Suite’s PSBT workflows with care and follow the documented steps.

8 — Final notes & recommended habits

Combining a hardware wallet like Trezor with the Trezor Suite experience gives you a strong, practical way to hold self-custody of crypto assets. Regularly check official pages for firmware updates and security announcements, rotate backups if needed, and when handling significant amounts consider multi-device or multi-signature strategies. Treat your recovery seed with the utmost confidentiality — it is the single most important secret for your crypto ownership.
