This concise, security‑first guide shows how to install and use Trezor Suite with your Trezor hardware wallet. You’ll learn to verify downloads, pair and authenticate your device, add accounts, send and receive safely, configure privacy options, and keep everything updated. You’ll also find quick fixes to common problems, a short FAQ, and a printable checklist. Remember: your recovery seed never leaves your hardware device.
Trezor Suite is the official application that helps you interact with your Trezor hardware wallet. Suite displays balances and transactions, generates fresh receiving addresses, guides firmware updates, and manages device settings—while private keys remain sealed inside your hardware wallet. Suite relays requests and shows results; approvals happen on your device screen, which is isolated from malware on your computer.
Use an updated OS, a known‑good USB cable, and a trustworthy computer. If anything seems off, stop until you can verify the source and prompt.
Always navigate to the official domain manually and avoid sponsored search results. Verify checksums or signatures when available.

Use the included or a known‑good data cable. Avoid hubs, especially during firmware updates.
New wallet: Generate your recovery seed on the device and write every word legibly. Restore: Enter your existing words on the device only—never on a computer.
Choose a non‑pattern PIN of 6–10 digits. Too many wrong attempts will wipe the device, protecting your funds from brute force.
Run the authenticity check in Suite before adding funds. Treat warnings seriously and re‑verify if anything looks unusual.
Update when prompted to receive features and security fixes. Keep the cable stable and read each on‑device prompt.
For each supported coin, add an account in Suite. Accounts are deterministic sets of addresses derived from your on‑device keys; you can add multiple for organization.
Click Receive → generate an address → then verify the full address on your device screen. Only use or share an address after verifying on device.
Paste the destination address, set the amount and fee, and review carefully. Your device will display details for approval; approve only if every character matches.
Install or remove coin apps as needed. Removing an app doesn’t affect funds—keys remain on your device and funds stay on‑chain.
Use labeling features for accounting. If exporting data, treat the files as sensitive and store them securely.
When interacting with a new counterparty or address, begin with a small test amount before sending larger value.
Write the 12/18/24 words clearly. Keep two offline copies in separate secure locations and consider a metal backup. Never take photos or store the seed digitally.
Your device screen is the source of truth for addresses and amounts. If the address on the computer differs, cancel immediately.
Apply Suite and firmware updates promptly. Schedule periodic checks to reduce the window for vulnerabilities.
Review analytics/data sharing settings and disable what you don’t need. Prefer fresh addresses to reduce linkability.
Avoid public Wi‑Fi for sensitive actions. If necessary, use a reputable VPN and double‑check prompts on device.
Type official domains yourself. Bookmarks you didn’t create can be dangerous. Support will never ask for your seed or PIN.
Try a different cable and USB port; avoid hubs. Close other wallet apps that might seize the interface. On Linux, confirm udev rules are installed, then replug.
Check your connection and firewall. If using a VPN, switch servers. Clear Suite cache and restart the app.
Reconnect the device; Suite typically resumes. Use a short, stable cable and a direct port.
If the address on your device doesn’t match your computer, cancel immediately, update software, and scan for malware.
After too many wrong attempts, the device wipes by design. Restore using your seed on the device and re‑add accounts in Suite.
Your funds remain on‑chain, controlled by your seed. Replace the device and restore using your words on the device.
