Trézór Suite (Official)

Desktop installation

1. Visit https://trezor.io/start or the official Trezor downloads page.
2. Choose your platform (Windows/macOS/Linux) and download the installer.
3. Verify the download signature/checksum when provided — this adds protection against tampered files.
4. Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. Connect your Trezor device when prompted.

Web access

Trezor Suite is also available as a browser-hosted application. It runs locally and connects to your Trezor device via USB/WebUSB. Web access is convenient but ensure you access the official domain and never use untrusted networks when doing sensitive operations.

1. Unbox & inspect

Check the package seal and physical condition. Trezor devices ship sealed — if packaging looks tampered with, contact official support.

2. Connect to Trezor Suite

Open Trezor Suite (desktop or web). Connect your Trezor device using the supplied USB cable and follow on-screen prompts. The Suite will detect your device and begin guided setup.

3. Choose a PIN

Set a PIN directly on your Trezor device. The PIN protects access to the unlocked device and is separate from your recovery seed.

4. Generate and store recovery seed

Trezor generates a 12–24 word recovery seed. Write it down on the supplied card or use a metal backup — never store the seed digitally or share it. Confirm the seed when prompted in Suite.

5. Add accounts

In Trezor Suite, add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported chains. Suite will query addresses, show balances (read-only), and let you manage transactions — all signing requests are confirmed on the physical device.

6. Update firmware

If a firmware update is available, apply it via Trezor Suite. Firmware updates improve compatibility and security. Always follow the on-screen instructions and verify update prompts on the device display.

Secure transaction signing

Private keys are generated and stored in the secure element on your Trezor device. Trezor Suite constructs transactions but the device signs them on-device — signatures and confirmations occur away from the host computer.

Multi-currency support

Trezor Suite supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, many ERC-20 tokens, and a broad set of altcoins. Suite's account management shows per-chain balances and transaction history.

Portfolio overview & analytics

Track portfolio value across accounts, view historic performance, and export transaction history for accounting or tax reporting. Suite aggregates on-chain balances and integrates market data for up-to-date valuations.

Coin control & advanced options

For Bitcoin users, Trezor Suite offers UTXO management, custom fee settings, and coin control for advanced transaction building — tools critical for privacy-conscious or power users.

Passphrase (hidden wallet)

Add an optional passphrase to create hidden wallets derived from your seed. A passphrase acts as a 25th word and can help conceal funds, but it must be stored securely and is not recoverable by Trezor if lost.

Device management & multiple devices

Manage multiple Trezor devices from Suite, configure device settings, and perform device backups and wipe operations when needed. Suite makes it easy to switch between devices while ensuring each uses the correct seed.

Never share your recovery seed

Your recovery seed is the master key to your funds. Trezor staff or legitimate support channels will never ask for it. Store seeds physically (paper or metal backup) and keep them offline and geographically separated if possible.

Use a strong PIN and enable passphrase

Choose a unique PIN for your device. Consider adding a passphrase for an additional layer of privacy and security — understand the recovery implications before using it.

Verify addresses on-device

Always confirm receiving addresses and transaction details on the Trezor device display — do not rely solely on the host computer’s display which could be compromised by malware.

Keep firmware & Suite updated

Install official firmware updates via Trezor Suite and keep the Suite application current. Updates frequently include security improvements and new feature support.

Beware of phishing

Only use official Trezor domains and bookmarks. Be cautious of emails, social media links, and attachments claiming urgent actions — phishing is a common attack vector in crypto.

Test recovery procedures

If possible, perform a test restore to a secondary device using your recovery seed (with small amounts) to ensure your seed was recorded correctly and can be used when required.

MetaMask & Web3 providers

Trezor devices can be used with MetaMask and other Web3 providers to sign Ethereum-based transactions. When connecting, ensure you confirm each signature on the device and only visit trusted dApps.

Coin-specific explorers & services

For certain blockchains, specialized explorers and services integrate with Trezor for staking, delegations, or advanced operations. Always verify the third party before granting any permissions.

Cold storage & multisig

Trezor supports multisig workflows and can be part of cold storage setups. Suite provides tooling to configure and manage such advanced setups — ideal for institutional or high-value storage scenarios.

Common issues & fixes

• Device not recognized: Try a different USB cable/port, enable WebUSB if using the web Suite, and ensure firmware is up-to-date.
• Transaction fails: Check network fees, ensure correct derivation/account, and confirm the address on-device.
• Seed confirmation problems: Carefully re-enter the words in the exact order; consider a fresh restore on a secondary device for testing.

Contacting support

Use official Trezor support channels and the knowledge base. When opening a ticket, provide non-sensitive diagnostic information — never share your recovery seed or private keys.
