Overview — What is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for interacting with your Trezor hardware wallet. It offers a polished dashboard for accounts, portfolio overview, transaction history, and built-in market information. Designed to keep private keys offline and visible only on your device, Suite balances convenience with military-grade security.
Key Benefits
- Centralized control: Manage multiple accounts and currencies from a single interface.
- Privacy-first: Connect without exposing private keys to the web.
- Clear UX: Transaction signing, address verification and firmware updates are intuitive and guided.
Trezor Bridge: Secure & Smooth Crypto Access 🔗
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background application that enables secure communication between your desktop browser and your Trezor device. Instead of browser extensions, Bridge runs locally, detects your hardware automatically, and provides a reliable cryptographic channel for signing transactions, checking addresses, and performing firmware updates. It operates with minimal footprint and never stores private keys or sensitive data.
How Bridge protects you
- All signing requests are validated on the physical device — not in the browser.
- Bridge performs only the transport role; sensitive inputs never leave the hardware.
- Updates and interactions are confirmed by the user via device buttons and screen prompts.
Installation & compatibility
Bridge supports Windows, macOS and several Linux distributions. Installing takes under two minutes — after that your browser and Suite detect the device automatically. If you ever face connectivity issues, restarting the Bridge service or re-plugging the device usually resolves the problem.
Step-by-step: Getting started with Suite
1. Install & connect (H4)
Download Trezor Suite from the official site, install the Bridge if prompted, and plug in your Trezor device. Follow the on-screen setup flow to create or restore a wallet.
2. Secure your recovery (H4)
During setup you’ll receive a recovery seed (24 words commonly). Write it down on a durable medium and store it offline in a safe location. Never share or digitize it.
3. Add accounts & explore (H4)
Add cryptocurrency accounts inside Suite. The app will index balances and display portfolio analytics. Use the built-in exchange or connect to compatible services for swaps and staking.
Advanced tips (H3)
- Use a passphrase for an extra layer of security — treat the passphrase like an additional word in your seed.
- Verify every receive address on your device screen before accepting funds.
- Keep firmware updated via Suite — each release improves compatibility and security.
Troubleshooting quick fixes
If Suite does not detect your device: ensure Bridge is running, try another USB cable, or reinstall Bridge. For persistent issues check Trezor's support articles and official troubleshooting guides.
