What is Trezor® Wallet?
Trezor® Wallet is the world's first cryptocurrency hardware wallet, developed by SatoshiLabs. Unlike software wallets, Trezor® stores your private keys offline on a secure hardware device, providing unparalleled protection against hackers, malware, and unauthorized access.
This compact device connects to your computer or mobile device via USB and works in conjunction with the Trezor Suite interface to manage your crypto assets securely.
Getting Started with Your Trezor®
Setting up your Trezor® device is straightforward:
- Unbox your Trezor® device and connect it to your computer
- Visit the official trezor.io/start page
- Follow the step-by-step setup wizard
- Initialize your device and create a new wallet
- Write down your recovery seed phrase and store it securely offline
- Set up a PIN to protect your device
Important: Only download software from the official Trezor® website. Never share your recovery seed with anyone, and always verify addresses on your device screen.
Trezor Suite: Your Crypto Management Dashboard
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application designed to manage your Trezor® device and cryptocurrency portfolio. It provides a secure, intuitive interface for all your crypto operations.
To get started with Trezor Suite:
- Download the application from the official Trezor Suite download page
- Install the application on your desktop
- Alternatively, use the web version at suite.trezor.io
- For mobile users, the Trezor Suite app is available on both iOS and Android
Trezor Suite allows you to send and receive transactions, check portfolio balances, exchange cryptocurrencies, and buy crypto directly with fiat currency.
Secure Trezor Login Process
The Trezor login process is designed with security as the top priority:
- Connect your Trezor® device to your computer
- Open Trezor Suite or visit the web interface
- Enter your PIN directly on the device (never on the computer)
- Confirm actions physically on the device when prompted
This process ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys remain secure on the Trezor® device.
Trezor Bridge: Connecting Your Device
Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables communication between your Trezor® device and web browsers. It facilitates the Trezor Bridge login process and allows you to interact with your device through web interfaces.
Trezor Bridge automatically installs when you download Trezor Suite, or you can get it directly from the Trezor® website. It runs quietly in the background, only activating when you connect your Trezor® device.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Trezor® with third-party wallets?
Yes, Trezor® devices are compatible with several third-party wallets like Exodus, MetaMask, and others. However, for maximum security, we recommend using the official Trezor Suite.

You should install firmware updates as soon as they become available. These updates often include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies.
Is there a difference between Trezor One and Trezor Model T?

Can I recover my wallet without the device?
Yes, using your recovery seed phrase, you can restore your wallet to any compatible software or hardware wallet. Remember, your seed phrase is your wallet—keep it secure and private.
