Download Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official application that connects to your Trezor device. It allows you to send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies directly from your desktop or browser. Always download it only from the official website to avoid phishing attempts or malicious downloads.

Connecting Your Trezor Device
- Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable.
- Open Trezor Suite and select “Initialize Device.”
- Create a new wallet or recover an existing one with your recovery seed.
- Set up a PIN to add a layer of device security.
The entire process is verified directly on your hardware wallet’s screen — ensuring your actions remain secure and isolated from online threats.
Backing Up and Protecting Your Recovery Seed
During setup, you’ll receive a 24-word recovery seed. Write it down carefully and keep it offline in a safe place. This recovery seed is the only way to restore access to your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
- Never store your seed digitally or take photos of it.
- Never share it with anyone.
- Consider using a metal backup for fire and water resistance.
Accessing and Using Trezor Suite
Once your device is initialized, connect it and launch Trezor Suite to access your crypto portfolio. Every transaction is verified on your device’s screen before approval, ensuring your private keys never leave the hardware.
- Track your portfolio balance across supported cryptocurrencies.
- Send and receive transactions securely.
- Use built-in exchange integrations for swaps and conversions.
Security Recommendations
- Always verify the website URL before entering sensitive information.
- Keep your firmware and Trezor Suite updated.
- Never disclose your PIN or recovery seed to anyone.
- Consider enabling a passphrase for advanced security.
