Trezor Suite App — Manage your crypto securely and confidently

Trezor Suite is the desktop and web companion for Trezor hardware wallets. It gives you a clean interface to view balances, send and receive coins, manage accounts, update firmware, and interact with supported apps — all while keeping your private keys offline in your Trezor device. This guide explains core features, safe setup practices, backups, advanced tips, and common troubleshooting steps.

Quick overview — what you get

Secure key storage

Private keys never leave your Trezor device. Transactions are signed on-device and only signed data (not your seed or private keys) is sent to the Suite app.

Multi-asset support

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum (and ERC-20 tokens), a wide range of altcoins and tokens. Token access depends on current integrations; always check the “Supported coins” list before assuming support.

Built-in firmware updates

Keep your wallet firmware up to date directly from Suite to benefit from security fixes and new features. Updates are signed and verified by Trezor.

Portfolio & history

View transaction history, balances, and export data for accounting or tax tools; Suite gives a consolidated view across multiple accounts.

First-time setup — step-by-step

Install Suite — Download the official Trezor Suite application from Trezor’s website and verify checksums if you want added assurance.
Connect device — Plug in your Trezor hardware wallet and follow the on-screen prompts. Create a new wallet or recover from an existing recovery seed.
Create a backup — Write down your recovery phrase on the supplied recovery card. Treat this phrase as the single most important secret for recovery.
Set a PIN — Choose a PIN on the device; this protects your Trezor from local physical attacks and unauthorized use.
Confirm setup — Verify device fingerprint and firmware versions inside Suite; confirm that Suite says "Device is ready" before moving funds.

Security best practices

Always buy your hardware wallet from the official store or authorized reseller—avoid used devices where possible.
Never type your recovery phrase into a computer or cloud service. Keep the physical backup offline in a safe location.
Use a strong, unique PIN and consider a passphrase (BIP-39 passphrase) for an extra layer — know that a passphrase creates a new hidden wallet and must also be backed up mentally or securely recorded.
Enable firmware updates only from the Suite and verify the update prompts on the device screen. If the device displays unexpected messages, stop and contact official support.
Be cautious with browser extensions, clipboard managers, and screen-sharing—these can leak addresses or transaction details.

Day-to-day features & tips

Sending and receiving are straightforward: generate a receive address in Suite and confirm it on your device. When sending, always verify address and amount directly on the Trezor screen. Use "Advanced" fee controls to prioritize speed or cost for Bitcoin transactions. For Ethereum and tokens, Suite integrates with widely-used explorers and shows real-time gas suggestions.

Tip: For recurring taxes or bookkeeping, export transaction history from Suite as CSV. Label accounts and addresses to keep your portfolio organized.

Backups, recovery, and passphrases

Your recovery seed (usually 12, 18 or 24 words) is the ultimate backup. If your device is lost or damaged, the seed + optional passphrase restores access to funds on any compatible wallet. Keep multiple copies of the seed in separate secure locations (safe deposit box, home safe), and never store it digitally.

A passphrase is optional and effectively functions as a 25th word: it creates a distinct wallet for each passphrase. Use passphrases cautiously: losing it means losing access to those funds.

Troubleshooting — quick fixes

Device not detected: Try a different USB cable/port and ensure Suite is up to date. Check that the device screen shows the Trezor logo.
Firmware update fails: Reboot both device and computer, reinstall Suite if necessary. Only install firmware from the official update flow in Suite.
Missing tokens: Some ERC-20 tokens require manual addition or a bridge app — check token contract address and add as a custom token if safe.
Transactions stuck: For Bitcoin or Ethereum, you can accelerate with Replace-By-Fee (RBF) or electron-based fee bumping tools where supported; otherwise wait for network confirmation.

Advanced use cases

Power users can pair Trezor Suite with external apps (e.g., coin-specific explorers, DeFi dashboards) using Trezor Connect — a bridge API that keeps signing on-device while letting web apps request signatures. For multisig, Trezor supports some workflow integrations — combine multiple hardware wallets to split signing authority for higher-security custody.

Privacy considerations

Suite queries block explorers to show balances and history. If privacy is a priority, consider using Tor or specialized nodes and avoid reusing addresses. Be mindful that transaction metadata may link addresses to your identity if you disclose details publicly.
