Trezor.io/Start® | Trezor Suite App (Official) | Trezor®

A clear, practical guide to begin with your Trezor® hardware wallet. Learn how to download the Trezor Suite App, connect and authenticate your device, protect your recovery seed, and manage assets with confidence.

Overview

Trezor® pioneered the modern hardware wallet, giving you an offline, tamper-resistant way to store private keys. The journey starts at Trezor.io/Start®, which routes you to the official downloads and onboarding for the Trezor Suite App. Trezor Suite is your control panel: add accounts, send and receive, view portfolio value, and adjust privacy settings — while all private keys remain inside your Trezor Model One or Model T.

Download & install Trezor Suite

1) Use the official source

Open https://trezor.io/start. Choose your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux). For mobile access, follow the official instructions provided on the Start page. Bookmark the URL to avoid typos and impersonation sites.

Tip: Verify the domain is trezor.io and consider typing it manually or using a saved bookmark.

2) Install and launch

Run the installer and follow on‑screen prompts. On first launch, Trezor Suite checks connectivity and offers to install required components such as Trezor Bridge (for browsers that need it). Keep auto‑updates enabled to receive improvements promptly.

Connect your Trezor device

3) Cable up your wallet

Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor. Avoid unpowered hubs that can cause random disconnects. If your device is new, you may be asked to install firmware before proceeding; confirm any action on the device screen.

4) Create or recover a wallet

Choose Create a new wallet to generate a fresh recovery seed, or Recover wallet if you already have a 12/18/24‑word seed phrase. Seed entry happens on the device (Model T touchscreen) or using secure prompts; never type your seed into your computer.

5) Set a strong PIN

Define a PIN that you can remember but others cannot guess. The PIN is verified and changed on the device itself. Multiple wrong attempts trigger increasing delays and can result in a device reset — a protective measure to keep your assets safe.

Secure your recovery seed

Your recovery seed is the single backup to your funds. Write it on the provided cards or use a metal backup. Store copies in separate, safe locations. Never photograph or store the seed digitally (cloud, email, notes apps). No support agent will ever ask for it — if anyone does, treat it as a scam.

  • Use legible handwriting; double‑check each word.
  • Consider passphrase support for advanced security (creates hidden wallets).
  • Periodically perform a non‑custodial recovery dry‑run on a spare device to ensure your backup works.

Explore Trezor Suite features

Trezor Suite brings day‑to‑day management into a single workspace, prioritizing clarity and safety:

  • Accounts & portfolio: Add Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other networks; view balances and history in one dashboard.
  • Send/receive: Generate verified receive addresses on‑device and confirm every outgoing transaction on the Trezor screen.
  • Privacy options: Use CoinJoin (where available) and Tor‑routing to minimize metadata leakage.
  • Firmware & updates: Manage firmware securely and keep coin support current.
  • Buy/sell/swap integrations: Access partner services within Suite, keeping approvals on‑device.
  • Labels & notes: Add context to transactions locally without exposing your seed or keys.

Best practices for everyday use

  1. Verify addresses on‑device: Always compare the address shown in Suite to the one on your Trezor screen before receiving funds.
  2. Keep software fresh: Update Trezor Suite and firmware when prompted; read changelogs for security fixes.
  3. Segment accounts: Use separate accounts for personal, business, and testing to keep records clean.
  4. Use passphrase carefully: If enabled, remember that a different passphrase generates a different wallet. Document your practice securely.
  5. Practice a small send: When using a new network, test with a low‑value transaction first.

Troubleshooting common issues

  • Device not recognized: Try another USB port or cable; avoid charge‑only cables. Restart Trezor Suite and disconnect other USB devices that may interfere.
  • Bridge/browser issues: If your browser cannot talk to the device, install or restart Trezor Bridge. Some enterprise policies block WebUSB; try a different machine.
  • Forgot PIN: You must reset the device and restore from your recovery seed. This design protects funds if the device is lost.
  • Firmware update stuck: Keep the cable steady, use a rear I/O port on desktops, and do not interrupt power. If interrupted, repeat the update — your seed remains safe.
  • Suspicious prompts: Trezor staff will never ask for your seed. If any website or chat requests it, stop immediately.

Quick FAQs

Is Trezor Suite free? Yes. The app is free to download; the hardware device is purchased separately.

Can I use multiple devices? Trezor Suite can manage more than one Trezor; each keeps its own seed and PIN.

What if I lose my Trezor? Your funds are recoverable with your seed on a new device. Keep the seed safe and offline.

Does Suite support NFTs and DeFi? Support varies by network; you can connect to compatible services through Suite and authorized integrations while confirming actions on‑device.

Next steps

With your device initialized and Suite installed, schedule a recurring health check: confirm backups, review pending updates, and label recent transactions. If you manage significant funds, consider redundancy: a second Trezor for recovery drills and a fire‑resistant seed backup.
