Trezor Suite — official desktop & web manager for your hardware wallet
Trezor Suite is the secure application used to manage Trezor hardware wallets. It combines device setup, coin management, portfolio overview, transaction signing, and integrations into a single user-focused app while keeping private keys offline on the hardware device.
What Trezor Suite is for
Trezor Suite is designed to let you safely store, send, receive and track cryptocurrency using a Trezor hardware device. The app never exposes your seed phrase or private keys — it only communicates transaction data to the hardware wallet for signing. Suite supports many coins and tokens, provides a clear transaction history, and includes features to verify and customize transactions before signing.
Key features
- Device setup & recovery: Guided initial setup, firmware updates, and recovery of seed phrases using the hardware device only.
- Multi-currency support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, many ERC-20 tokens and numerous altcoins directly from Suite.
- Transaction verification: View and confirm transaction details on your Trezor device display before signing.
- Portfolio & charts: View balances, fiat conversions and a simple portfolio overview (note: prices are for convenience; keys remain offline).
- Connect integrations: Connect to web3 dapps or third-party services when needed, while maintaining device confirmation for sensitive actions.
- Clear UX: Streamlined flows for sending, receiving and managing multiple accounts, with built-in help and safety prompts.
How to set up Suite safely
1. Download Suite only from the official Trezor website or the verified app store listing. Verify the URL and checksum when available. 2. Plug in your Trezor device and follow the setup wizard inside Suite. The device will generate your recovery seed; write the seed down on the included recovery card — never store it digitally. 3. Create a strong device password / PIN on the device itself. 4. Install firmware updates directly through Suite when prompted; firmware updates are signed and validated by Trezor.
Best practices for security
Protecting crypto requires a combination of secure hardware, safe habits and vigilance:
- Keep your recovery seed offline and in a secure location — ideally physically separated or in a fireproof safe.
- Never enter your seed into a computer or phone browser, or into any app — recovery should be done only with the Trezor device.
- Use a passphrase (advanced feature) only if you understand how it works; losing both the passphrase and seed will permanently lock funds.
- Verify transaction details on the Trezor device screen before confirming — Suite displays details, but confirmation on the device is the final safety check.
- Beware of phishing: verify domains, signatures, and only connect Suite to trusted extensions or websites.
Using Suite day-to-day
Receive addresses are generated by your device and shown in Suite. For recurring or programmatic flows, always verify the address on the device screen. When sending, pick appropriate fee levels for your urgency — Suite often suggests recommended fees but shows exact values so you can choose. For advanced users, Suite supports custom networks and coin-specific settings (e.g., RBF for Bitcoin, nonce management for Ethereum).
Recovery & migration
If your device is lost or damaged, recovery is performed with the seed on a new Trezor device (or compatible recovery tool, though hardware recovery is safest). When migrating to a new device, always verify firmware authenticity and re-create your PIN and passphrase on the new device rather than importing credentials into software wallets.
Privacy considerations
While private keys never leave the device, some telemetry and price data may be fetched by Suite to present balances and market information. Check Suite settings for telemetry options and limit connections to third-party services you trust. For maximum privacy, consider running Suite in offline or limited modes and use coin-specific privacy features where applicable.
Common troubleshooting
If Suite can’t detect your device: try a different USB cable or port, ensure firmware is installed, and avoid USB hubs when possible. If a firmware update stalls, follow on-screen guidance — do not attempt to enter your recovery seed anywhere except on the Trezor device. For persistent issues, use official support channels and avoid sharing seed or private data in support tickets.
Integrations & advanced use
Trezor Suite can be used with supported wallets, exchange integrations and web3 dapps. When connecting to decentralized apps, always confirm any transaction on your device. Developers can use Suite alongside libraries that implement the Trezor communication protocols, but applications should never request seeds or private keys.
Why hardware + Suite beats software-only wallets
Hardware wallets keep the signing keys isolated in secure hardware; Suite acts as a safe bridge for user interaction. This separation significantly reduces the attack surface compared to keeping keys on a desktop or mobile device. For users with meaningful balances, the combined approach of Trezor + Suite is a recommended baseline for custody security.
