What is Trezor® Wallet?

Trezor® Wallet is a pioneering hardware wallet designed to provide maximum security for your cryptocurrencies. Developed by SatoshiLabs, it stores your private keys offline, shielding them from online threats like hackers and malware. Unlike software wallets, Trezor® ensures that your sensitive data never leaves the device, making it immune to remote attacks.

Getting Started with Your Trezor®

To begin, navigate to the official setup page at trezor.io/start. This portal guides you through initializing your device, generating a recovery seed, and installing essential firmware. The recovery seed is crucial—it's your backup to restore funds if the device is lost or damaged. Store it securely offline.

Trezor Suite: The Central Hub

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application that replaces the older Trezor Wallet interface. It offers a unified platform for managing your assets, conducting transactions, and accessing advanced features like coin control and Tor integration. You can download Trezor Suite from the official website via trezor suite download. For on-the-go access, the Trezor Suite app (available for mobile) provides a streamlined experience.

Secure Trezor® Login Process

The Trezor login process is designed for security. Instead of typing passwords, you physically confirm actions on the device. When logging into Trezor Suite or connecting to supported third-party services, you'll be prompted to verify the operation directly on your Trezor®. This two-factor authentication prevents phishing and unauthorized access.

Understanding Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables communication between your Trezor® device and web browsers. It's essential for using Trezor Suite or accessing the wallet via browser. If you encounter connection issues, ensure Trezor Bridge is installed (it often comes bundled with Trezor Suite) or download it separately from the official site. Note that Trezor Bridge login isn't a standalone process; it facilitates secure connectivity during your Trezor® sessions.
