Getting Started with Trezor Suite - Secure Your Crypto

Learn how to safely manage your cryptocurrency using Trezor Suite

Introduction to Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your cryptocurrency securely. It is compatible with Trezor One and Trezor Model T hardware wallets. Trezor Suite enables you to store, send, and receive digital assets while keeping your private keys safe offline.

Why Use Trezor Suite?

Security is the most important aspect of managing crypto. With Trezor Suite, your private keys never leave your device. Unlike software wallets that store keys online, Trezor provides a secure offline environment.

Installing Trezor Suite

Step 1: Download the Application

You can download Trezor Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux from the official Trezor website: suite.trezor.io.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided USB cable. Make sure it is powered on and unlocked.

Step 3: Follow the Setup Wizard

Trezor Suite will guide you through creating a new wallet or restoring an existing one. Follow the instructions carefully.

Important: Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Trezor will never ask for it online.

Creating a Wallet

New Wallet

When you create a new wallet, Trezor generates a recovery seed of 12–24 words. This seed is your ultimate backup. Write it down and store it in a safe place.

Recover Wallet

If you already have a Trezor or another wallet's recovery seed, you can restore it using the recovery option in Trezor Suite. For more information: Understanding Recovery Seeds.
