Trezor Suite

Using Trezor Suite to manage your wallet

A compact, practical guide for setting up, securing, and using Trezor Suite to send, receive, and manage crypto safely.

Quick checklist before you start

  • Have your Trezor device (Model One or Model T) and its cable ready.
  • Make sure you have your recovery backup written on paper and stored offline.
  • Download Trezor Suite from the official site and verify its signature if possible.
  • Do not share seed words with anyone. Trezor support will never ask for them.

Step-by-step: Initial setup

1. Install Trezor Suite

Download the official Trezor Suite desktop app (Windows/macOS/Linux) or use the web app. Prefer the desktop installer for long-term use.

<!-- Tip: point users to the official download URL -->

2. Connect and verify device

Plug in your Trezor. The Suite will detect the device and guide you through a device authenticity check and firmware install if necessary.

3. Create or recover wallet

Choose Create new wallet to generate a fresh seed (write it down!). Choose Recover wallet if you already have a seed phrase.

<!-- Model One typically uses 24 words; Model T can use BIP39 word counts -->

4. Set a PIN

A device PIN prevents unauthorized access even if someone has physical access to your Trezor.

Daily use: Accounts, send & receive

Accounts & coins

Enable the coins you want to use from the Accounts page. Each coin/account has its own receiving addresses and transaction history.

Receive

In Suite: choose an account > click Receive. Verify the address on your Trezor device screen matches the one shown in Suite before sharing it.

Send

Select account > click Send; enter destination address and amount. Confirm the details on your Trezor device before approving.

Fees & confirmations

Trezor Suite displays fee presets and network fee estimates. Pick according to how fast you want the transaction to confirm.

Advanced & helpful features

  • Swap / Buy / Sell: Integrated partners enable in-app swaps or purchases — these use external services; double-check terms/fees.
  • View-only wallets: Import public xpubs to track funds without exposing private keys.
  • WalletConnect: Use Suite as a WalletConnect provider for compatible dApps while keeping the hardware device as the signer.
  • Portfolio & history: Keep track of asset balances, transaction history and export CSVs for bookkeeping.

Security best practices

Do:
  • Store your recovery seed offline in at least two secure physical locations.
  • Verify addresses on the device screen for every transaction.
  • Keep firmware up to date, but only if you have access to your recovery seed before starting an update.
Do not:
  • Enter your seed into a computer, phone, or any website (never typed digitally).
  • Share screenshots of your seed or your full transaction signing screens.
  • Buy devices from unofficial sellers — they may be tampered with.

Troubleshooting quick fixes

  • If Suite shows zero balance after an update: make sure you selected the correct account index and that the device was unlocked when connecting. Recover from seed if necessary.
  • If the device is not recognized: try another USB cable/port, enable WebUSB (for web app) or reinstall drivers on Windows.
  • For firmware issues: back up your seed, then follow the official firmware update instructions in Suite.
