Trezor.io/Start® — Trezor Suite App (Official) | Quick Start Guide

This document is a clear, practical walkthrough for getting started with the Trezor Suite desktop or web app via Trezor.io/Start®. It explains the essential steps—connecting a Trezor hardware wallet, installing the Suite application, creating or restoring a wallet, and performing routine actions like sending and receiving transactions. The content is written to be concise and accessible while preserving complete step-by-step guidance for users new to hardware wallets.

Introduction to Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official software companion for Trezor hardware devices. It acts as the secure interface between your browser or desktop and the device, enabling account management, coin sending and receiving, firmware updates, and safety checks. Suite isolates private keys on the hardware device while giving you a modern, user-friendly interface to interact with multiple cryptocurrencies.

Before you begin

Start by ensuring you have a supported Trezor device, a computer with a supported browser or the desktop Suite installed, and a stable internet connection. Keep your recovery seed written down and stored securely offline; never share it or store it digitally. If this is your very first hardware wallet, read the safety recommendations: never buy pre-configured devices from unknown sellers and always verify setup steps on the device screen.

Safety note: Trezor devices never reveal private keys to the computer. Always confirm critical actions directly on your device screen.

Step 1 — Open Trezor.io/Start®

Point your browser to Trezor.io/Start (type it manually to avoid phishing). The site detects whether you should use the web Suite or download the desktop app and presents clear links. Choose the latest official Suite option and follow the on-screen prompts to either open the web Suite or begin an installation that matches your operating system.

Step 2 — Connect your device

Use the supplied cable to connect your Trezor device. Modern devices typically show a welcome screen and a short animation. If this is the first setup, the Suite will offer to install firmware: allow the update when prompted to ensure the device runs the latest trusted version. Confirm every action on the device display.

Creating a new wallet

Choose "Create new wallet" in Suite if you're setting up a new device. The Trezor will generate a recovery seed. Write this seed on paper and keep it offline and secure. Suite will verify a portion of the seed by asking you to confirm a few words on the device. Only after confirming should you accept that setup is complete.

Restoring a wallet

If you already have a recovery seed, select "Recover wallet" and follow the prompts to enter your seed words directly on the device. Never type your seed into the computer. Once restored, Suite will rescan the blockchain and display your accounts once synchronization completes.

Using Trezor Suite — basic actions

The Suite UI organizes accounts, balances, transaction history, and exchange options. To receive funds, pick an account and generate a receive address; verify the address on the Trezor screen. To send funds, create a transaction in Suite, then approve it on the device. Always verify amounts and addresses on the hardware screen before confirming.

Advanced options and maintenance

Trezor Suite supports firmware upgrades, coin management, and advanced settings like coin discovery paths and U2F/WebAuthn. Keep firmware up-to-date for security fixes. Backup your recovery seed in multiple secure locations if needed, and never share it.

Closing reminders

Hardware wallets add a strong layer of protection by keeping private keys off internet-connected devices. Combine your Trezor device with good operational security: secure backups, trustworthy software, and vigilance for phishing. If any step seems uncertain, consult official documentation from Trezor and double-check links and prompts.
