Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Trezor Wallet and Trezor Suite?

Trezor Wallet is the web-based interface available at wallet.trezor.io, while Trezor Suite is a more advanced desktop application with additional features like coin control, Tor integration, and custom fee settings.

Do I need both Trezor Bridge and Trezor Suite?

Trezor Bridge is required for the web interface (wallet.trezor.io) to communicate with your device. Trezor Suite includes its own communication layer, so Bridge is not necessary when using the Suite application.

What should I do if I lose my recovery seed?

Is Trezor compatible with other wallet software?

Yes, Trezor devices can be used with compatible third-party wallets like Electrum, Exodus, and MyEtherWallet, in addition to the official Trezor Wallet and Trezor Suite.
