This independent guide walks you through installing and using Trezor Suite—the official companion app for the Trezor hardware wallet. Learn how to download from the correct source, pair and verify your device, add accounts, send/receive crypto, and protect your privacy. You’ll also find troubleshooting steps, FAQs, and a printable checklist to keep your self‑custody workflow safe and smooth. Always use the official trezor.io domain and trust your device screen over anything shown on a computer or phone.
Trezor Suite is a secure desktop (and web) application that connects to your Trezor hardware wallet. Suite provides the tools you need to view balances, generate receiving addresses, send transactions, install coin apps, manage firmware updates, and configure device settings. Crucially, your private keys never leave the secure element of your hardware wallet—Suite simply relays requests and displays information while all sensitive approvals happen on the device screen.
Use an updated operating system, a known‑good USB cable, and a trustworthy computer. If your environment is compromised, malware can try to mislead you—always confirm on your device screen.
Getting Suite from the correct source is the biggest step toward security. Avoid search‑ad results and bookmarks you did not create yourself.

Use the included or a known‑good cable. Avoid USB hubs during updates to prevent power drops.
New wallet: Create your recovery seed on the device and write down each word clearly. Restore: Enter existing words on the device only. Suite should never receive your seed.
Choose a non‑pattern PIN of 6–10 digits. The device wipes after too many incorrect attempts—this protects your funds if it’s stolen.
Suite can validate that your device is authentic. Always run this before depositing funds.
Firmware updates add features and security fixes. Keep the cable stable and follow on‑screen instructions carefully.
For each supported coin, add an account in Suite. Accounts represent sets of addresses derived from your on‑device keys. You can add multiple accounts for organization (e.g., savings vs. spending).
Click Receive → generate an address → then confirm the full address on your device screen. Only share or use an address after verifying it on the device.
Paste a destination address into Suite, set the amount and fee, and review. Your device will display the details for approval. Approve only if every character matches.
Suite supports Bitcoin and many popular cryptocurrencies, with features like labeling, replace‑by‑fee (RBF) for BTC, and coin‑control where available. Some assets require third‑party wallets—Suite will guide you when appropriate.
Track your balances and transaction history across accounts. Labels and notes can help with accounting; store any exported data securely.
Install or remove coin apps as needed. Removing an app does not remove funds; keys remain on your device and funds stay on‑chain.
Write your 12/18/24 words clearly, keep two offline copies in separate locations, and consider a metal backup for fire/water resistance. Never digitize the seed.
Your device screen is isolated from malware. Treat it as the source of truth for addresses, amounts, and firmware prompts.
Apply Suite and firmware updates promptly. Read each prompt carefully and avoid interrupting updates.
In Suite, review analytics and data‑sharing options. Disable what you don’t need. Consider using fresh addresses to reduce linkability.
Prefer a trusted, up‑to‑date computer. Avoid public Wi‑Fi for large or sensitive transactions; if unavoidable, use a VPN and double‑check on‑device details.
Support will never ask for your seed or PIN. Beware look‑alike domains and “verification” requests. When uncertain, stop and verify independently.
Try a different cable and USB port; avoid hubs. Close other wallet apps that might grab the interface. On Linux, confirm udev rules are installed. Replug the device and restart Suite.
Check your internet connection and firewall. If using a VPN, try changing servers. Clear cache within Suite settings and restart the app.
Reconnect the device; Suite usually resumes. Use a short, data‑capable cable and a direct port to avoid power drops.
If the address on your computer differs from your device, cancel immediately. Update Suite, scan for malware, and only proceed once they match perfectly.
The device wipes after too many wrong attempts by design. Restore using your recovery seed on the device and re‑add accounts in Suite.
Your funds are safe if the PIN is unknown. Acquire a new Trezor, restore using your seed on the device, then connect to Suite to re‑index accounts.
Yes—download and use are free. Beware of fake paid versions or sites that ask for your seed.
You can view parts of the interface, but secure operations require a hardware device. The private keys never leave your Trezor.
Suite supports Bitcoin and many altcoins. Some assets may need third‑party wallets. Suite will point you to options when necessary.
Yes. Install Suite on each trusted computer. Your keys stay on the device, so funds remain secure.
Your backup is the recovery seed. Keep it offline and private. No cloud or photo copies.
Reinstall from the official site and reconnect your device. Accounts can be re‑added; funds are on‑chain and tied to your seed.
