What is the Trezor® Wallet?

The Trezor® Hardware Wallet is a purpose-built device that stores your private keys offline, isolating signing operations from your internet-connected computer. This significantly reduces exposure to phishing, malware, and remote-theft attacks compared to software-only wallets. Trezor® devices work with the official Trezor Suite app and supported third-party wallets.

Set up: Trezor Suite, Bridge & first login

Begin at the official guide: trezor.io/start. Typical flow:

  1. Download and open Trezor Suite or use the web app.
  2. If required, install Trezor Bridge (Download) to enable browser-device communication.
  3. Connect your Trezor® device and follow the guided setup: create a PIN, write your recovery seed, and confirm settings.
  4. Use the Trezor Suite interface for signing transactions — the device will prompt you to approve each action.

Note: There is no traditional username/password “login” for the hardware itself — access requires physical possession of the device and the PIN you set during initialization.

Key features & best practices

  • Cold storage: Private keys never leave your device.
  • Open-source: Trezor® firmware and tools are transparent and auditable.
  • Recovery: Securely store your recovery seed offline; consider a metal backup for resilience.
  • Keep software official: Use only trezor.io/start, Trezor Suite, and Trezor Bridge downloads.

Troubleshooting & support

If Suite doesn't detect your device, check the USB cable (must be data-capable), restart the browser, and ensure Bridge is installed where needed. For advanced help, refer to official support at trezor.io/start.

FAQ — quick answers

Can I use Trezor Suite without a device?
No — full functionality requires a Trezor® hardware wallet to sign transactions securely.
Where do I download Trezor Bridge?
Official Trezor Bridge downloads are available at trezor.io/bridge.
What if I lose my recovery seed?
If you lose your recovery seed and the device fails, you risk permanent loss of funds. Store the seed securely offline — multiple physical copies are recommended.
