Trezor Suite — Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor®

Setting up a hardware wallet should be straightforward, secure, and easy to follow. Trezor Suite is the official software interface for managing a Trezor hardware wallet. It allows users to connect their device, manage crypto accounts, view portfolio information, send and receive supported assets, and configure device settings from one application.

If you are starting with a new Trezor device, the official setup process begins by downloading Trezor Suite from Trezor's website. The current setup flow guides you through connecting and verifying your device, installing firmware when necessary, creating a wallet backup, and securing the device with a PIN.

Getting Started With Trezor Suite

The first step is to download the official Trezor Suite application. Trezor provides desktop versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Trezor recommends downloading the application directly from its official website and warns users to be cautious of phishing websites that appear in search results.

For additional protection, users can follow the official Trezor Suite download and verification guide before installing the software. The guide explains how to verify downloaded files using Trezor's signing key.

After installation, open Trezor Suite and prepare your hardware wallet for connection.

Connect Your Trezor Device

Connect your Trezor to your computer using the appropriate cable. When the application detects the device, Trezor Suite guides you through the next steps.

The setup process includes a device security check designed to help verify the hardware. Depending on the Trezor model, you may also need to install firmware before the wallet can be initialized. Trezor devices are shipped without firmware, and Trezor Suite guides users through installing the appropriate version.

Carefully read the instructions shown both in Trezor Suite and on the physical device. When approving an important action, verify the information displayed on the hardware wallet before confirming it.

Create Your Wallet Backup

After the device has been verified and firmware has been installed when required, Trezor Suite guides you through creating your wallet backup. The backup information is displayed on your Trezor device and should be written down and stored safely offline.

Your wallet backup is an essential part of managing a self-custody wallet. It can be used to recover access to your wallet if your physical Trezor becomes unavailable.

Keep the backup private and protected. Never share it with another person, and never enter it into a website, email, chat, or unfamiliar application. Trezor specifically states that Trezor Suite will never ask users to type their wallet backup into the app.

For more information, visit the official Trezor wallet backup guides.

Set Up Your Device Security

Once the wallet backup has been created, the setup process can continue with device security. Depending on your Trezor model, this includes setting a PIN and configuring other available security features.

A PIN helps protect the physical hardware wallet from unauthorized use. Keep it private and avoid sharing it with anyone.

Trezor Suite also includes device and application settings that allow users to manage options such as PIN protection, passphrases, backups, enabled networks, application preferences, and updates.

Explore the Trezor Suite Dashboard

After completing setup, you can access the Trezor Suite dashboard. The desktop application provides an overview of your portfolio and accounts and lets you work with supported crypto assets. Users can view balances, send and receive transactions, swap supported assets, and manage accounts from the application.

When sending or receiving cryptocurrency, always confirm that you have selected the correct asset and network. Trezor emphasizes that different coins and networks are not interchangeable, and using an incorrect network can result in loss of funds.

Before approving a transaction, carefully check the address and transaction details displayed on your Trezor hardware device.

Trezor Suite on Mobile

Trezor Suite is also available for mobile devices. The mobile application allows users to manage supported accounts and monitor their portfolio while away from a desktop computer. Connectivity depends on the Trezor model and mobile operating system.

Trezor's current documentation states that Android users can connect supported Trezor devices using USB, while Bluetooth functionality is available on supported models. On iOS, Bluetooth support varies by device model, while some other Trezor models can be used in view-only mode.

Using Trezor Suite in Your Browser

If you do not want to install the desktop application, Trezor also offers a web version of Trezor Suite. The web app can be accessed through supported Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera. Firefox and Safari are not supported for this connection because they do not provide the required WebUSB functionality.

Trezor recommends the installed desktop or mobile application for everyday use because it offers additional functionality and performance benefits.

You can learn more in the official Trezor Suite browser guide.

Keep Trezor Suite Updated

Keeping Trezor Suite updated is an important part of maintaining the software experience. Updates can introduce new features, improvements, and security fixes. Trezor Suite displays available updates within the application.

Always obtain updates through official Trezor channels rather than downloading files from unknown websites.

For operating-system compatibility and connection information, see the official Trezor Suite system requirements guide.
