Official Site | Trezor Suite®

Welcome to Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official interface for managing your Trezor hardware wallet and interacting securely with your cryptocurrencies. As part of the official site, this “Getting Started” guide will walk you step by step through setup, security practices, and first transactions.

Begin your journey here — start with the basics, take your time, and always verify critical details right on your device.

Why Use Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is designed with security and clarity in mind. It never stores or handles private keys — those remain safely on your Trezor device. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The Suite offers:

• Clean, unified dashboard for accounts and balances
• Support for many cryptocurrencies and networks
• Transaction confirmation and address verification on device
• Backup flows, PIN & passphrase setup, and firmware management
• Portfolio tracking, labels, fee control, and export tools

Getting Started — Step by Step

1. Download from the Official Site

Always use the official domain (e.g. trezor.io/start) to download Trezor Suite. Avoid third‑party mirrors or links you receive via email or unknown sites. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The official site provides installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Choose the correct version for your system and download it.

2. Install the Application

Run the installer and follow on‑screen instructions. After installation, launch Trezor Suite. On web‑based platforms, you may be able to continue in browser mode (though desktop offers the most stable experience). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

3. Connect & Initialize Your Trezor

Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided USB cable. The Suite will guide you to:

• Install firmware (if not already up to date)
• Create a new wallet or recover from an existing seed
• Set a strong PIN code for device unlock

All sensitive operations — like seed generation — happen on the device itself, not on your computer. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

4. Back Up Your Recovery Seed

When prompted, your device will generate a recovery seed (typically 12 or 24 words). Write those words *on paper or a durable backup medium*. Store them in a safe, offline location — never digitally. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

The recovery seed is your ultimate backup. Losing it may mean losing access to your funds.

After writing it, you'll be asked to confirm words via the device, verifying you recorded them correctly.

5. Add Accounts & Receive Crypto

Once your wallet is initialized, add one or more accounts (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum). Use the “Receive” function to generate an address. Always verify the address *on your device screen* before sharing it. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Label accounts to keep track of multiple wallets (for example, “Savings”, “Trading”, etc.).

6. Send a Test Transaction

To ensure everything works correctly, send a small amount (test sum) to another wallet you control. Confirm in Suite and ensure the transaction details (amount, address, fee) match what you expect. The device will prompt you to validate on‑screen. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

7. Verify & Maintain Your Setup

Regularly check for firmware and Suite updates. Only install when prompted through official channels. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Periodically verify a small test send if you haven’t used the wallet in a while, to confirm everything still works.

Security Tips & Best Practices

• Always confirm addresses and transaction details on the **device screen**, not just in Suite.
• Never reveal your recovery seed or PIN to anyone. Support will never ask for them.
• Store backups in discrete, physically secure locations (fireproof safe, multiple copies).
• Use passphrase (optional) for extra security, but understand how recovery works with it.
• Prefer wired USB connections in trusted environments when working with funds.
• Bookmark official sites (e.g. trezor.io/start) and avoid phishing links.
• Test small transactions first before moving large sums.
• Keep your computer clean, malware‑free, and avoid unknown browser extensions when using crypto tools.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Device Not Recognized

Try a different USB port or cable. Restart Suite or your computer. Ensure no security software is blocking USB or driver access.

Firmware Update Fails

Verify you have a stable connection and full battery (if applicable). Try reinstalling Suite and retrying. If problems persist, consult official support channels.

Forgot PIN or Mistyped Seed

If you lose your PIN but still have your recovery seed, you can wipe the device and restore from seed. But if both are lost, the funds cannot be recovered.

Phishing or Scam Concerns

If you ever receive messages asking for your seed, passphrase, or to download software from weird links — treat as scam. Always use official domains and validate file signatures. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
