Security Best Practices

• Always verify URLs — only use https://trezor.io/start
• Never share your recovery seed with anyone
• Store your seed in a physical, offline location (not on cloud or computer)
• Enable passphrase protection for extra security
• Update your firmware regularly via Trezor Suite

What is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official app designed to work with your Trezor hardware wallet. It allows you to manage your crypto assets, view balances, send/receive coins, and access tools like coin control, Tor routing, and built-in exchanges — all while keeping your private keys offline.

The app supports major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and over 1,200 other assets.

Troubleshooting Setup

Device not detected?

Make sure you are using the official USB cable and that your browser or desktop app is up to date.

Firmware not installing?

Ensure you're connected to the internet and not behind a restrictive firewall or antivirus.

Problems with recovery seed?

If you're restoring a wallet, make sure you enter the recovery words in the correct order. Even one incorrect word will prevent successful recovery.

Why Trezor?

Trezor is the original hardware wallet created by SatoshiLabs. With a track record of innovation, open-source development, and uncompromising security, Trezor remains a leading choice for users who want full control over their crypto.

Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave the Trezor device, significantly reducing the risk of hacking or theft.
