The Trezor Suite app provides mobile access to monitor your portfolio, though transactions require connecting your hardware wallet to your mobile device with an OTG adapter.
Do I need to go to trezor.io/start every time I use my device?
No, trezor.io/start is only for the initial setup process. After setup, you'll use Trezor Suite for accessing your wallet through the Trezor login process.
What if I encounter problems during setup?
The trezor.io/start platform includes troubleshooting guides for common issues. If problems persist, Trezor® offers comprehensive support documentation and a responsive support team.
Is Trezor Bridge necessary for all operations?
Trezor Bridge is required for browser communication with your Trezor® device. If you use the desktop version of Trezor Suite, it has built-in communication capabilities, making Bridge unnecessary for that application.
Can I set up my Trezor® without an internet connection?
While an internet connection is required for downloading firmware and initial setup, you can generate your seed phrase offline once the device is connected and powered on.
What's the difference between Trezor Suite and the old Trezor Wallet?
Trezor Suite is the next-generation interface with enhanced security features, portfolio tracking, and a more user-friendly experience. It replaces the older Trezor Wallet interface.
How often should I update my Trezor® firmware?
You should install firmware updates whenever they become available, as they often include important security enhancements. Trezor Suite will notify you when updates are available.
