Trezor® Wallet, developed by SatoshiLabs, is the world's first and most trusted hardware cryptocurrency wallet. Unlike software wallets, a Trezor® device stores your private keys offline, providing unparalleled security against online threats like hackers and malware. It acts as a secure vault for your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies, requiring physical confirmation for every transaction.
The setup process for your new device is straightforward and secure. Always begin your journey at the official setup portal:
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application designed to manage your crypto assets securely. It provides an intuitive interface for checking balances, sending and receiving funds, and exploring advanced features like coin exchange and portfolio tracking.
To get started, you need to perform a Trezor Suite download from the official Trezor® website. For mobile users, the Trezor Suite app (available for iOS and Android) allows you to manage your portfolio on the go, though sending transactions still requires connecting your hardware device.
To access your wallet through a web browser, you need to complete the Trezor login process. This involves connecting your device and physically confirming the action on its screen. For the browser-based version of Trezor Suite to communicate with your device, you may need to install Trezor Bridge. This small background application facilitates a secure connection between your Trezor® device and your computer's browser.
The Trezor Bridge login process is seamless once the bridge is installed. It runs automatically, ensuring a smooth and secure connection without requiring any manual intervention each time you want to access your wallet.
What happens if I lose my Trezor® device?
Your crypto remains safe. Since your funds are stored on the blockchain, not the device, you can recover your entire wallet on a new Trezor® or compatible software wallet using your 12 to 24-word recovery seed phrase.
Do I need to install Trezor Bridge?
If you are using the desktop version of Trezor Suite, the bridge is included. For web browser access, Trezor Bridge is required to enable communication between your device and the Trezor Suite web app. It's a one-time installation.
Is the Trezor Suite app a standalone wallet?
No. The Trezor Suite app is a companion for your hardware wallet. It allows you to view your portfolio and receive addresses, but to send funds or change settings, you must still connect your physical Trezor® device to confirm actions.
Can I use my Trezor® Wallet on multiple computers?
Yes. Your wallet is stored on the blockchain and accessed by your recovery seed and device. You can connect your Trezor® to any computer, perform a Trezor login via Trezor Suite, and access your funds, provided you have the device and PIN.
How often do I need to update my Trezor®?
Firmware updates are released periodically to add new features, support new cryptocurrencies, and enhance security. Trezor Suite will notify you when an update is available. It's crucial to install these updates to keep your device secure.
Is Trezor Bridge Login the same as my wallet password?
No. Trezor Bridge is not a login service with a username/password. It is a communication tool. Your security is governed by your device PIN (which protects the physical device) and your recovery seed phrase (which restores your wallet).
