Quick, secure setup and essential best practices for protecting your private keys.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing cryptocurrencies with Trezor hardware wallets. It centralizes sending, receiving, portfolio tracking, swaps and purchases while keeping private keys offline on your Trezor device. The app is available as a desktop application and a web option — download and install for the best experience. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
By combining an easy-to-use interface with hardware-backed key storage, Trezor Suite gives you self-custody without sacrificing usability. You sign transactions on the physical device and use the Suite only for viewing and composing transactions. This separation drastically reduces exposure to online threats.
Typical new-device setup takes about 15 minutes, including firmware install, PIN creation, and wallet backup. Follow official setup prompts when you first connect your device. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Start at the official Trezor Suite page and download the desktop app or continue in the browser. Always verify the download or use the web option from the official site to avoid tampered installers. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
When you first plug in a Trezor device it will guide you to install firmware. Do not use a device that prompts strange behavior or looks tampered with. Firmware installation is performed through Trezor Suite following the on-screen prompts. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Choose a PIN to protect the device and write down the wallet backup (formerly called “recovery seed”) exactly as instructed. Trezor now refers to this as a wallet backup; keep it offline and never share it. The backup is the only way to restore assets if the device is lost. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Use durable storage (metal backup plates), store copies in secure geographically-separated locations, and avoid digital photos or cloud storage. Consider the advanced multi-share or metal backup options for higher-value holdings. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
The Suite displays balances, transaction history, and supports many coins and tokens. For sending, you build a transaction in Suite and confirm on the Trezor device — the private keys never leave the hardware.
Integrated fiat on-ramps and swap partners are available directly in Suite. Use these features with caution — always confirm counterparty details and understand fees.
Treat the Trezor device as the root of trust. If an action requires entering sensitive words, double-check you are interacting with official Trezor software or a trusted integration.
Trezor maintains extensive guides for Suite, device-specific setup, backups, and developer docs. When in doubt, consult official materials rather than third-party tutorials. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Beware of phishing and impersonation attempts. Trezor’s support pages include official contact channels and troubleshooting for Suite issues — never provide your wallet backup to support. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Use these official links in your slide notes or share them as QR/handout links for attendees. They point to Trezor’s official resources for setup, safety, and technical documentation.
