Introduction
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your cryptocurrency with a Trezor hardware wallet. It combines device-level security with an approachable user interface so you can manage keys, sign transactions, and view your portfolio without exposing private data to the internet.
Step 1 — Download and install Trezor Suite
Visit the official downloads page to get the latest stable release for your operating system. For macOS and Windows, a native installer is available; Linux users can use the AppImage or distribution packages. There is also a web version accessible from modern browsers.

Step 2 — Prepare your Trezor device
Unbox your Trezor Model One or Model T and inspect the device packaging for tamper-evidence. Only set up the device directly — do not reuse recovery seeds or handwritten lists from unknown sources.
Make sure your device firmware is up to date; Trezor Suite will prompt you if an update is required. Firmware updates are cryptographically verified to prevent tampering.
Step 3 — Connect and initialize
Connect the Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Launch Trezor Suite and choose to set up a new device. Follow the on-screen prompts — the suite will show a step-by-step wizard that mirrors prompts on the device screen. Confirm actions on the device itself.
Step 4 — Record your recovery seed
During setup the device will generate a recovery seed (a list of words). Write this seed down on the provided recovery card and store it in a safe, offline place. Never store the seed in an online file or photograph it. Trezor Suite will never ask you to share your seed.
Step 5 — Set passphrase and PIN
Choose a strong PIN to protect the device. Optionally enable a passphrase to create hidden wallets — this adds an additional layer of protection by deriving a new wallet from your seed plus the passphrase. Make sure you understand passphrase implications before enabling it.
Step 6 — Add accounts
In Trezor Suite you can add Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coin accounts. Each account will display balances and transaction history. Use the 'Add account' button, select a coin, and Trezor Suite will create the necessary addresses by communicating with your device (without exposing private keys).
Step 7 — Receive and verify addresses
When receiving funds, always verify the receiving address on the device screen before sharing it. Trezor Suite shows the address, but the only authoritative source is the hardware device display.
Step 8 — Sending transactions
Compose a transaction in Trezor Suite, review fee options and destination, then confirm the transaction on your device. The device will display the key transaction details for you to verify and approve.
Step 9 — Use advanced features
Explore features like coin-specific settings, custom fees, transaction batching, and portfolio analytics. For developers, Trezor Suite exposes advanced tools and logs to help integrate or debug coin support.
Step 10 — Backup and recovery practice
Practice the recovery process using a spare device if possible, and verify that your recovery seed can restore your accounts. Store copies of your recovery seed in geographically separate and secure locations.
Tips for a secure setup
- Always download the suite from the official domain to avoid phishing. (trezor.io)
- Never share your recovery seed or enter it into software or websites.
- Enable passphrase only if you understand its backup implications.
- Keep firmware updated via Trezor Suite's verified flow.
- Use a hardware wallet for long-term holdings and large amounts.
