Trezor Suite — Official Start Page for Trezor Users
Begin here to set up your Trezor device, install Trezor Suite, secure your recovery seed, and learn best practices for managing crypto and NFTs with hardware-backed security.
Overview
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web companion app for Trezor hardware wallets. The start page is the secure entry point where new and existing users download the Suite, update device firmware, initialize wallets, and access guides and support. This document is a comprehensive walkthrough of the start experience: what to expect, step-by-step setup, features you’ll use in Suite, and strong security practices to protect your assets long-term.
Quick note: Always use the official start URL (type it yourself or use a bookmark) and never download wallet software from third-party mirrors. Phishing websites impersonate wallet pages; verifying that you're on the correct domain prevents a wide class of attacks.
Before you start
Prepare for a smooth setup by gathering a few essentials and making simple decisions ahead of time:
- Purchase source: Confirm your Trezor device was purchased from an official store or authorized reseller.
- Secure workspace: Use a private computer and network — avoid public Wi-Fi or shared devices while initializing a wallet.
- Backup materials: Have the provided recovery card, a pen, and (optionally) a metal backup plate for long-term durability.
- Time & focus: The setup takes a few minutes; do not rush, and read every prompt carefully.
Download & install Trezor Suite
Follow these steps to get the official Trezor Suite app and prepare your device.
- Visit the official start page: open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. Verify TLS (the lock icon) and that the domain is correct.
- Choose platform: download the Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux, or use the Suite web client when available.
- Install the app: run the installer and follow on-screen prompts. Grant permissions only when expected.
- Open Suite & connect device: plug your Trezor into the computer using the original USB cable and follow Suite’s guided flow.
The Suite will check your device’s authenticity and will prompt for firmware installation if required. Never install firmware from unofficial sources.
Device initialization — step by step
When initializing a new Trezor you will:
- Install or update firmware: Suite will guide you through applying an authentic, signed firmware to the device.
- Create a new wallet or restore: choose to create a fresh wallet or restore an existing one from a recovery seed.
- Record your recovery seed: the device will generate a 12 or 24-word seed. Write it down in the exact order on the provided card or a metal backup. This seed is the master key to all funds.
- Set a PIN: create a PIN to protect access to the device. Enter it directly on the device’s input interface if available.
- Optional passphrase: advanced users can enable a passphrase (acts like an additional secret); treat it as an extension to the seed.
Critical: never store your recovery seed digitally (photos, text files, cloud). If anyone obtains the seed, they can control your funds.
Using Trezor Suite: core features
After setup, Trezor Suite is your primary interface for a wide range of tasks. Key features include:
Accounts & portfolio
Add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and supported altcoins. Suite displays balances, transaction history, and a clear portfolio overview so you can track holdings in one place.
Send & receive
Create receiving addresses and confirm them on your device. All outgoing transactions must be approved directly on the Trezor screen to sign them with your private key.
Firmware & device management
Securely upgrade device firmware through Suite. You can also view device status, serial information, and reset or wipe the device if needed.
Exchange & swaps
Suite integrates with trusted partners for buying/selling or swapping assets. These partners handle fiat on/off ramps while custody of keys remains with you.
Privacy tools
Advanced features like coin control and optional Tor routing reduce metadata leakage and provide better privacy for sensitive users.
NFT support
View and manage Ethereum-based collectibles securely; transaction approvals still happen on the hardware device.
Security best practices
Trezor Suite provides robust protections — your actions and habits complete the security model. Adopt these best practices:
- Buy official devices: order directly from the official store or authorized resellers.
- Protect the seed: store multiple offline backups in geographically separate, secure locations.
- Use a passphrase carefully: it increases protection but adds complexity — losing it means losing access to funds under that passphrase.
- Keep software updated: apply Suite and firmware updates promptly to receive patches and improvements.
- Confirm addresses on device: always verify receiving addresses on the Trezor screen before sending funds.
- Be skeptical of unsolicited requests: no legitimate support will ever ask for your recovery seed.
Troubleshooting & support
Common issues and simple remedies:
- Device not detected: try a different USB cable or port and ensure Suite is up to date.
- Firmware installation error: restart Suite, reconnect the device, and retry; only use firmware offered by Suite.
- Forgotten PIN: you will need your recovery seed to restore the wallet after a device reset.
- Seed restore mismatch: carefully re-check spelling and word order; most mistakes are transcription errors.
If issues persist, consult the official support resources linked from the start page for step-by-step help and contact options.
FAQ
Is Trezor Suite free to use?
Yes — Trezor Suite is provided at no cost. Third-party partners for buying/selling may apply fees for their services.
Can I manage NFTs with Trezor Suite?
Yes — Suite supports viewing and transferring Ethereum-based NFTs. Approval for NFT actions happens on the device.
What happens if I lose my device?
You can restore access to your funds on a new device with your recovery seed. Keeping the seed secure and private is essential.
Should I use a passphrase?
A passphrase adds security by creating hidden wallets, but it must be managed carefully — losing the passphrase means permanent loss of that hidden wallet's funds.
Wrapping up — start safely
Trezor Suite is the official start point and daily control center for Trezor users. When you follow the guided setup on the start page, take care of your recovery seed, confirm transactions on the device, and maintain good security hygiene, you combine usability with hardware-level protection. That combination is what makes self-custody a practical and secure way to hold digital assets.
