Trezor‑Suite

Why use Trezor‑Suite?

Download & installation

Always download Trezor‑Suite from the official Trezor website. Choose the installer for your OS, and where available, verify signatures or checksums. After installing, connect your Trezor device via USB and open Suite to begin setup.

1. Download the official Trezor‑Suite installer from Trezor's site.
2. Install and open the app — choose to create a new wallet or restore using your recovery seed.
3. Connect your Trezor device and follow on-screen instructions to initialize or restore the device.
4. Install firmware updates when prompted and only after verifying prompts on the device screen.

Setup: create or restore a wallet

For a new device, Trezor will guide you through generating a PIN and a 12/24-word recovery seed. Record the seed offline and store it securely — never enter it into a computer. To restore an existing wallet, select the restore option and carefully enter your recovery words on the hardware device.

Key features of Trezor‑Suite

• Account management for many cryptocurrencies, with clear receive and send workflows.
• Transaction signing and address verification on the Trezor device screen before approval.
• Firmware management for secure updates.
• Integration with third‑party services (exchanges, swap providers) with explicit consent flows.
• Advanced settings for power users (passphrase support, coin-specific options).

Security best practices

Trezor‑Suite increases security but users must follow best practices:

• Store your recovery seed offline (metal backup recommended) and never share it.
• Use a strong device PIN and do not disclose it.
• Keep firmware and Suite app up to date, verifying update prompts directly on device.
• Beware of phishing: bookmark the official Trezor site and avoid downloading Suite from third-party sites.
• Consider using a passphrase (25th word) only if you understand its implications: it adds security but increases responsibility for the passphrase itself.

Sending & receiving funds

To send funds, create a transaction in Trezor‑Suite and verify all details on your Trezor device before approving. The device screen shows the recipient address and amount — always confirm the entire address on the device, not just the Suite UI. For receiving, generate a receiving address in Suite for a specific account and share it; confirm on the device when possible.

Troubleshooting common problems

Device not recognized

Try a different USB cable or port, unlock the device by entering the PIN, restart Trezor‑Suite, and ensure your OS has the required permissions/drivers. On Linux, check udev rules if needed.

Firmware or update errors

Only apply firmware updates from the official Suite app. If an update fails, restart the device and Suite, and retry. Contact Trezor support if the device remains unresponsive.

Missing transactions

Resync the account in Suite, check network status, and verify the transaction on a blockchain explorer using your transaction hash.

Advanced options

• Use multiple accounts and subaccounts for better privacy and bookkeeping.
• Combine Trezor with external tools like coin-specific explorers for independent verification.
• For high-value holdings, consider metal seed backups and multisig architectures using Trezor devices.

FAQ

Can I use Trezor‑Suite without a Trezor device?

Trezor‑Suite is designed to work with a Trezor hardware wallet to sign transactions. Some read-only features may show public data, but signing requires a connected Trezor device.

What if I lose my recovery seed?

Losing your recovery seed can make funds unrecoverable if you lose the device. Trezor cannot recover funds without the seed. Keep multiple secure backups.

Is Trezor‑Suite open-source?

Many components of Trezor‑Suite are open-source; check the official Trezor GitHub repository for details and links to verify source code and builds.
