The integrated desktop application for controlling your **Trezor hardware wallet** and ensuring maximum **security**.
**Trezor Suite** is the modern application designed by SatoshiLabs to provide a unified, user-friendly interface for managing all aspects of your crypto portfolio through your **Trezor hardware wallet**. It moves beyond simple wallet functions, integrating advanced features like exchange, privacy tools, and portfolio monitoring directly into a single, secure desktop app.
The philosophy of **Trezor Suite** centers on absolute **security** through isolation. It ensures that the private keys which control your funds never leave the trusted, certified chips inside your **hardware wallet**. Transactions are prepared in the software but signed only on the physical device, shielded from online threats and malware.
Only download **Trezor Suite** from the official Trezor website. After installation, launch the application. It guides you through the process of connecting your **hardware wallet** for the first time.
The device will prompt you to generate a new **Seed phrase** (usually 12 or 24 words). This critical step generates your master private key. You **must** copy these words exactly and in the correct order, securing them offline immediately.
You will be asked to set a **PIN code** directly on the **Trezor hardware wallet** screen using the scrambled matrix shown in **Trezor Suite**. This code is essential for physical **security** and unlocking the device every time you connect it.
The **Seed phrase** is the one and only backup that allows you to recover your crypto assets on any compatible **hardware wallet** if your Trezor is lost, stolen, or broken. It is the core component of your non-custodial **security**. Absolute Rule: Never store this **Seed phrase** digitally (PC, phone, cloud, or photos). This is the only point of failure. **Trezor Suite** will never ask you to input the full phrase electronically.
The **PIN code** acts as a physical gatekeeper. Without it, the **hardware wallet** cannot be unlocked, even if it is plugged into **Trezor Suite**. It prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing your keys. The innovative PIN entry method uses the device screen and the desktop app's scrambled number pad to prevent keylogging attacks. After multiple failed attempts, the device is progressively wiped, protecting your funds (which can then only be restored using your **Seed phrase**).
Exchange Integration
**Trezor Suite** integrates seamlessly with reputable exchanges and service providers, allowing users to safely buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly to and from their **hardware wallet** addresses, maintaining the highest level of **security** throughout the process.
Shamir Backup
For enhanced redundancy, the Suite supports the Shamir Backup feature (available on certain Trezor models), which splits your recovery phrase into multiple unique shares, offering advanced recovery and inheritance options far beyond the standard **Seed phrase**.
Invisible Wallet
**Trezor Suite** allows the creation of a passphrase-protected 'Hidden Wallet' (a different wallet derived from the main **Seed phrase**). This provides plausible deniability and an extra layer of **security** if physical coercion is ever a concern.
