Overview — What is the Trezor Hardware Wallet®?

The Trezor Hardware Wallet® is a purpose-built device that stores your private keys offline. Built by SatoshiLabs, it isolates signing of transactions from internet-connected devices and pairs with the Trezor Suite (desktop/web/mobile) to manage assets, firmware updates and account settings.

Why choose a hardware wallet?

  • Private keys never leave the device — strong protection against malware.
  • PIN and optional passphrase protect access even if the device is stolen.
  • Recovery seed allows restoration on a new device (keep it offline and secure).

Quick start: setup & downloads

  1. Open trezor.io/start and follow the official onboarding steps.
  2. Download the Trezor Suite desktop or use the web app at suite.trezor.io.
  3. If browser access requires it, install Trezor Bridge (Trezor Bridge Download page).
  4. Initialize the device, set your PIN, and write down the recovery seed offline.

Troubleshooting common issues

Error Connecting Trezor Wallet® Account: reinstall Trezor Bridge, try another USB cable/port, ensure device is unlocked and firmware is up to date via Trezor Suite.

Trezor Wallet® App not Working / Can't verify Trezor Wallet®: clear browser caches, update Trezor Suite, and verify the connection prompt appears on the device itself (not just on-screen).

Trezor Wallet® 2FA reset: Trezor hardware itself uses PIN/passphrase rather than cloud 2FA. If 2FA is tied to an exchange or service, follow that service's recovery steps — never share your recovery seed.

Trezor Wallet® error decline: typically indicates firmware mismatch or blocked browser permission; update firmware and accept the device permission on the hardware screen.

Security best practices

  • Always download Suite/Bridge from official links above.
  • Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or online form.
  • Store the seed offline in multiple secure locations (paper/steel).
  • Buy only from official trezor.io or trusted resellers to avoid tampered units.

Frequently asked questions

How do I perform a Trezor Wallet® login?Click to expand
Connect your Trezor device, enter PIN on the hardware screen, open Trezor Suite (or suite.trezor.io) and authorize the connection when prompted.
Do I need Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge enables browser-based communication with the device. Install it from trezor.io/bridge if prompted.
What if I see 'Error Connecting Trezor Wallet Account'?
Try another USB cable/port, reinstall Trezor Bridge, update Suite/firmware and ensure the device screen is unlocked to approve connections.
Can I reset 2FA on my Trezor Wallet®?
Trezor itself does not use cloud 2FA. Use the recovery seed to restore on a new device. For third-party service 2FA, follow that service's recovery flow.
Why does the Trezor Wallet® app decline my transaction?
A declined transaction usually means the device rejected the signing request (passphrase mismatch, firmware issue, or wrong account). Verify details on the hardware screen and update firmware via Trezor Suite.
