Trezor Suite® – Starting® Up Your Account

What Is Trezor Suite®?

Trezor Suite® is the all-in-one application that allows you to manage, send, receive, and protect your cryptocurrency using your Trezor® hardware wallet. Developed by SatoshiLabs, it’s the official platform for interacting with the Trezor Model One and Model T hardware wallets.

Trezor Suite® offers a powerful yet user-friendly interface that enables account creation, multi-asset support, privacy features, and full control over your digital identity.

Why Start Your Account with Trezor?

Creating an account using a Trezor device offers significant advantages over software wallets and custodial platforms:

• Offline Private Key Storage: Your private keys are stored securely on your device, not online.
• Full Ownership: No third party can access, freeze, or manage your funds.
• Multi-Coin Support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 1000+ tokens with one secure wallet.
• Privacy Tools: Built-in features like CoinJoin and Tor integration.

Getting started is simple, and once your account is activated, you’ll have access to a full-featured crypto management suite.

Step-by-Step: Starting® Up Your Trezor Account

1. Visit the Official Site:
   Navigate to suite.trezor.io. Only use the official Trezor domain to avoid counterfeit software or phishing attempts.
2. Download Trezor Suite®:
   Select your operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux). After download, follow the on-screen installation instructions.
3. Connect Your Trezor® Device:
   Plug your Trezor Model One or Model T into your computer using the provided USB cable. If your device is new, you’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware.
4. Create a New Wallet:
   Trezor Suite will give you the option to create a new wallet. Click “Create wallet” and follow the instructions to generate your recovery seed (either 12, 18, or 24 words).
5. Backup Your Recovery Seed:
   Write down your recovery phrase on paper. This is the only way to restore your account if the device is lost or damaged. Never take screenshots or store it digitally.
6. Set a PIN Code:
   You’ll create a secure PIN that protects the device. Choose a code that’s not easily guessed. You’ll enter this PIN each time you use your Trezor.
7. Access Your Account Dashboard:
   Once setup is complete, your Trezor Suite dashboard will display account information, balances, transactions, and settings.

Understanding Accounts in Trezor Suite®

Unlike typical online exchanges, Trezor accounts are derived from your recovery seed and managed locally through the Trezor Suite interface. Each cryptocurrency can have its own account within the suite.

• You can create multiple accounts for BTC, ETH, LTC, etc.
• Each account is independent, but backed by the same recovery phrase.
• Labels, tags, and transaction history are available per account.

This structure provides flexibility for personal use, business wallets, or tax tracking.

Top Features of Trezor Suite®

• Coin Control: Choose which coins or UTXOs to spend.
• Transaction Labels: Tag and comment on each transaction.
• Exchange Integration: Swap crypto within the interface via trusted third-party partners.
• Privacy Settings: Use Tor directly within the app for anonymous connections.
• Advanced Security Settings: Enable passphrase protection, Shamir Backup, or hidden wallets.

Security Best Practices for New Accounts

Protect your crypto from day one by following these core security tips:

• Never share your recovery seed. Not even with support.
• Double-check firmware authenticity. Only install updates from Trezor Suite®.
• Enable passphrase protection if you want a hidden layer of account access.
• Always verify the receiving address on the device screen before sending crypto.
• Store your backup securely offline. Consider using a fireproof container or steel wallet.

What If You Already Have a Recovery Phrase?

If you’ve previously used a Trezor or another BIP39-compatible wallet, you can restore your wallet instead of creating a new one:

1. Launch Trezor Suite
2. Select “Recover wallet”
3. Enter your 12/18/24-word recovery seed directly into the device
4. Access your existing accounts securely

This process ensures backward compatibility and cross-platform recovery between supported wallets.

Supported Assets in Your Trezor Account

Trezor supports thousands of coins and tokens including:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH) + all ERC-20 tokens
• Cardano (ADA)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• DOGE, DASH, ZEC, BNB, XRP (via third-party)

You can manage these assets within Trezor Suite or connect to other services like MetaMask for full dApp support.
