Open Trezor Suite®

1. What is Trezor Suite®?

Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web interface for managing your crypto securely with a Trezor hardware wallet. It allows you to:

Send and receive cryptocurrencies
View transaction history
Use advanced privacy tools like CoinJoin
Install firmware and apps
Set up and restore wallets

2. Download or Access Trezor Suite

You can use Trezor Suite via:

Trezor Suite Web (via browser)
Trezor Suite Desktop (recommended for security)

System Requirements:

Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or major Linux distros
Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Brave
USB-A or USB-C port to connect your Trezor

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug in your Trezor Model T or Model One using the USB cable. Trezor Suite will detect your device and prompt setup or unlock depending on its state.

First time user? Make sure the package was sealed and untampered. Only initialize the device yourself using trezor.io/start.

4. Install Firmware

If your Trezor is brand new, you’ll be prompted to install the firmware. Always verify firmware authenticity through the Trezor Suite interface.

Follow on-screen prompts to install official firmware.
Wait until your device displays confirmation.
Reboot and reconnect your Trezor.

5. Create or Recover a Wallet

Once firmware is installed, choose:

Create new wallet – for brand new setup
Recover wallet – to restore using a recovery seed

Trezor will display a recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 words). Write it down using the supplied recovery sheet and never store it digitally.

Do not: Take a photo or store your seed in cloud storage, email, or any digital format.

6. Set a PIN

You will be prompted to choose a secure PIN to protect your device. Without the correct PIN, no one can access your wallet.

Minimum: 4 digits, recommended: 6+
Avoid repeating or sequential digits

7. Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

From the Trezor Suite dashboard:

Go to “Accounts”
Click “Add Account”
Select the desired cryptocurrency (e.g., BTC, ETH, LTC)

Your device must approve each account addition. You can now receive and send funds securely.

8. Sending & Receiving Crypto

To Receive:

Select an account in Suite
Click “Receive”
Verify the address on your Trezor screen
Share address or QR code

To Send:

Click “Send”
Enter destination address and amount
Confirm transaction on your Trezor device
