What is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official app that connects to your Trezor hardware wallet (Model One and Model T) and provides a user-friendly interface for managing cryptocurrency. It is available as a desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux, and as a web-based interface. Trezor Suite centralizes device management, account setup, transaction handling, and security features while minimizing data exposure and relying on your hardware key for signing operations.
Key features
All private keys remain on the Trezor device. Transactions must be confirmed on the device screen, ensuring rogue software or browser extensions cannot silently sign operations.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum (and tokens), and many other cryptocurrencies from a single interface. Add and switch between accounts as needed.
View balances across accounts, transactions history, and basic portfolio analytics so you can track performance over time.
Access built-in swap/exchange integrations (where available) without exposing private keys — swaps are executed through third-party liquidity providers but must be approved on your device.
Suite minimizes data collection and does not transmit your private keys. Local state and metadata are stored by you; remote services are optional.
Customize coin derivation paths, enable passphrases (hidden wallets), integrate with external wallets, and use advanced features like coin control for precise transaction management.
Install & get started
- Download Trezor Suite from the official site (trezor.io/suite) or use the web version if you prefer not to install software locally.
- Connect your Trezor hardware wallet using the supplied cable. Allow any OS permission prompts that enable USB communication.
- Follow on-screen instructions: the Suite will detect the device, prompt to install firmware if needed, and guide you through creating or recovering a wallet.
- Set a device PIN and write down the recovery seed securely during initialization. Confirm the seed when prompted to ensure you recorded it correctly.
- Add accounts for the coins you want to manage and begin sending, receiving, and monitoring your assets.
User interface overview
Trezor Suite organizes functionality into clear sections: Portfolio (overview of holdings), Accounts (per-coin wallets and addresses), Send/Receive (transaction workflow), Device (firmware, PIN, passphrase), and Settings (privacy, networks, and integrations).
- Send flow: Compose transaction in Suite, review outputs and fees, then confirm on the Trezor device screen.
- Receive flow: Create or select an account, generate a receiving address and always verify the address on the device screen matches the app before sharing.
- Device tab: Use this to update firmware, back up your device, rename it, enable hidden wallets with a passphrase, or wipe the device for a fresh start.
Security best practices with Trezor Suite
- Keep your recovery seed offline: Write it on paper or a durable metal backup. Never take photos or store the seed on a computer or cloud service.
- Confirm addresses on-device: Always verify the receive address on your Trezor screen — malware can attempt to change addresses in the app.
- Use a strong PIN and consider a passphrase: Passphrases add an extra security layer but increase responsibility — lose the passphrase and the hidden wallet is unrecoverable even with the seed.
- Update firmware from within Suite: Only install firmware when Suite indicates an official update is available.
- Buy only from official channels: Purchasing through authorized resellers reduces tampering risk.
Troubleshooting
Suite doesn't detect device
Try a different USB port or cable, ensure the device screen is awake, restart Suite, and disable browser extensions if using the web version. Installing the Trezor Bridge or updating drivers may help on older OSes.
Firmware update failed
Reconnect the device and retry. If problems persist, consult official support and never install firmware from untrusted files.
Transaction stuck / low fee
Use Suite's fee options or a fee bump (if supported by the network) and review network status. For Bitcoin, consider replace-by-fee (RBF) if available.
Forgot PIN
A forgotten PIN requires a device wipe. Recover access using your recovery seed. If you do not have the seed, funds cannot be restored.
Advanced integrations
Trezor Suite is compatible with certain third-party wallets and services that support hardware wallets. Advanced users can also use Suite alongside tools like Electrum (for Bitcoin) or connect to custom nodes where supported to increase privacy and control.
If you run your own full node, check Suite and third-party documentation for instructions on connecting Suite to your node for improved privacy and trust-minimization.
FAQ
- Can I use Suite without a Trezor device?
- Suite is designed to work with a Trezor hardware wallet. While some information may be visible without a device, signing or moving funds requires the physical Trezor.
- Is Suite open source?
- Trezor's core software and many related tools are open-source. Check the project's repositories for source code and contribution guidelines.
- Does Suite collect personal data?
- Suite focuses on privacy. Optional services (market data, third-party integrations) may request network access — review the privacy options in Settings and disable services you don't want to use.
