Trezor® Wallet is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet developed by SatoshiLabs. Unlike software wallets, Trezor® stores your private keys on a secure hardware device, keeping them offline and protected from online threats. As the world's first Bitcoin hardware wallet, Trezor® has established itself as the gold standard for crypto security.
The device connects to your computer or mobile device via USB and features a small screen and buttons for verifying and confirming transactions directly on the hardware. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys never leave the Trezor® device.
Setting up your Trezor® device is straightforward:
The initial setup process is critical for security. Always ensure you download software only from official sources and never share your recovery seed with anyone.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your Trezor® device. This sophisticated interface allows you to:
For mobile users, the Trezor Suite app provides convenient access to your portfolio on the go. To get started, you'll need to complete the Trezor Suite download from the official Trezor website.
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor® device to connect with supported browsers. It runs in the background and facilitates secure communication between your Trezor® and the web interface.
The Trezor login process is unique and secure. Instead of typing passwords, you simply connect your Trezor® device to authenticate. For services that support Trezor® login, you'll be prompted to connect your device and confirm the login attempt directly on the hardware wallet.
Similarly, Trezor Bridge login refers to the authentication process when using the Bridge software to connect your device to web services.
Trezor® supports over 1,600 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and all ERC-20 tokens. You can check the complete list of supported assets on the official Trezor website.
Your funds remain safe as long as you have your recovery seed phrase. Simply acquire a new Trezor® device (or any compatible wallet), enter your recovery seed, and regain access to your cryptocurrencies.
Yes, your Trezor® device can be used with any computer that has the necessary software installed. Your assets are stored on the blockchain, not on the device itself—the device simply stores your private keys.
Regular firmware updates are recommended as they include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Updates are performed through Trezor Suite when you connect your device.
While Trezor Suite offers the best user experience, your device can also work with third-party interfaces like Electrum or Metamask. However, for security reasons, always ensure you're using official software when possible.
Without your PIN, the thief cannot access your funds. After multiple incorrect PIN attempts, the device will wipe itself. Even then, your funds remain protected and can be restored on another device using your recovery seed phrase.
