How to Use Trezor Suite — Complete Step-by-step

This section walks through how to use Trezor Suite from first install to regular secure usage. Follow every step to secure your crypto and keep your crypto wallet safe using Trezor Suite.

Step 1 — Download Trezor Suite and verify

Visit the official Trezor website and download Trezor Suite for your operating system. Verifying the download source is the first step to secure your crypto — never download from third-party mirrors. Use checksums and official instructions to ensure the Suite installer is genuine.

Step 2 — Connect your Trezor device

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the supplied cable. Open Trezor Suite and follow the guided prompts. Trezor Suite will detect the device and ask whether you want to set up a new device or recover from a seed. This flow is how you begin to secure your crypto on a hardware wallet using Trezor Suite.

Step 3 — Initialize, set a PIN, create a recovery seed

When initializing, choose a secure PIN and write down the recovery seed that Trezor Suite displays. Your recovery seed is the ultimate backup for your crypto — keep it offline and secure. The combination of a PIN and recovery seed helps you secure your crypto wallet even if your device is lost or damaged.

Step 4 — Install firmware updates via Trezor Suite

If required, Trezor Suite will prompt to install official firmware. Firmware updates often include security improvements; update only through Trezor Suite and official sources to maintain the integrity of your hardware wallet and continue to secure your crypto.

Step 5 — Add accounts and manage crypto

Add Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coin accounts in Trezor Suite. The Suite provides a clear interface to view balances, send and receive transactions, and manage tokens. When sending funds, always verify the address on your Trezor device screen. This verification step is essential to secure your crypto during transactions.

Step 6 — Use passphrase for hidden wallets (optional)

For extra security, consider using a passphrase to create hidden wallets. A passphrase functions like an extension of the recovery seed to create different hidden accounts. Use a strong, memorable passphrase stored safely to further secure your crypto wallet using Trezor Suite.

Step 7 — Best daily practices when you use Trezor Suite

  • Always verify the receiving address on the device screen before confirming to secure your crypto from address substitution attacks.
  • Keep your recovery seed offline — do not photograph or store it digitally to protect your crypto.
  • Regularly check for official Suite updates and firmware prompts to secure your crypto wallet against vulnerabilities.
  • Use trusted computers when accessing Trezor Suite and avoid public or compromised machines to keep your crypto secure.
