Setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet is the first crucial step toward securing your cryptocurrency assets. The official setup portal at trezor.io/start provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide tailored to your specific Trezor® model (Trezor One or Trezor Model T).
The process begins by connecting your Trezor® device to your computer via USB cable. You'll then be guided through the initial setup, which includes installing essential software components and creating your wallet's unique recovery seed phrase.
Trezor Suite is the comprehensive desktop and web application that serves as your dashboard for managing cryptocurrencies. The Trezor Suite app provides a secure interface for transactions, portfolio tracking, and account management. You can download it via the Trezor Suite download page.
Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor® device and web browser. Unlike the Suite application, Bridge runs silently in the background once installed and requires no direct interaction.
Note: The Trezor Bridge login process is automatic and happens when you connect your device and access Trezor Suite or the web wallet.
What is the difference between Trezor Suite and Trezor Wallet?
Trezor Suite is the advanced desktop application that offers more features than the web-based Trezor Wallet. Suite provides enhanced security, portfolio tracking, and a more comprehensive user interface.
Do I need to install both Trezor Suite and Trezor Bridge?
Yes, for the full functionality. Trezor Bridge facilitates communication between your device and computer, while Trezor Suite is the interface for managing your cryptocurrency assets.
What should I do if I forget my PIN?
If you forget your PIN, you'll need to recover your wallet using your recovery seed phrase. This process will wipe the device, allowing you to set it up again with a new PIN.
Can I use my Trezor® with mobile devices?
Yes, Trezor® devices can be connected to Android devices using an OTG adapter. iOS support is more limited but possible through third-party applications that support hardware wallets.
Is it safe to download Trezor Suite from other sources?
No, you should only download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website (trezor.io) or through the official GitHub repository to avoid malicious software.
What is the purpose of the Trezor Bridge login?
Trezor Bridge doesn't have a traditional login. It runs in the background and automatically facilitates secure communication when you connect your Trezor® device to access Trezor Suite or the web wallet.
