Trezor Suite is the official app for managing a Trezor hardware wallet, and much of how it looks and behaves is yours to shape. This guide walks through the everyday settings that make Suite easier to read and more comfortable to use, from the currency your balances appear in to a dark theme and hidden totals. Along the way it draws a clear line between cosmetic choices and the security that lives on the device itself.

What settings can you change in Trezor Suite?

You can change how Suite looks and reads without touching your keys. The main options cover your display currency, a light or dark theme, whether balances are shown or masked, and which coins and accounts appear. These are personal preferences that tailor the interface, not controls over the funds themselves.

It helps to picture two layers. One layer is the presentation: fonts, colours, the currency label next to a number, and how much detail sits on screen. The other layer is the wallet itself, held on the Trezor. Suite lets you rearrange the first layer freely, because nothing there can move coins or reveal secrets. The device keeps that responsibility to itself.

Because there is no cloud account behind Suite, your settings are remembered on the machine where you set them rather than synced across the internet. That is a small thing to keep in mind if you use Suite on more than one computer or phone, since each place keeps its own preferences.

How do you set your display currency and hide balances?

You set both in the application settings. Choosing a display currency tells Suite which local money to show alongside your holdings, so a balance reads in the currency you actually think in. Turning on the hide balances option masks those amounts until you reveal them, which is handy in public.

The display currency is purely a lens. Your coins do not convert or change; Suite simply looks up a value and shows it in the currency you picked, whether that is euros, dollars or another option. If you travel or think in a second currency, switching the label makes the portfolio easier to read at a glance without altering anything underneath.

Hiding balances answers a different need. On a train or in an office it can be uncomfortable to have totals on display, so the masking option replaces the figures with placeholder marks. You reveal them again when you are ready. It is a privacy comfort rather than a security barrier, since the ability to spend still rests entirely with the connected device.

Why would you rename accounts or adjust coin visibility?

You rename accounts and adjust coin visibility to keep the interface clear. Labels turn a list of similar looking accounts into ones you recognise at a glance, and hiding coins you do not use trims the clutter. Both are organisational tools that affect only what you see, never who controls the funds.

Suite can hold many accounts across many networks, and without labels they blur together. Giving an account a plain name, such as one you associate with savings or with day to day spending, makes it obvious which is which before you send anything. That clarity is a quiet safeguard in itself, because it reduces the chance of choosing the wrong account by mistake.

Coin visibility works the same way. If you only hold a handful of assets, showing just those keeps the view tidy, and a coin you switch off is hidden rather than removed. Everything stays bound to the keys on your Trezor, so you can bring a network back whenever you need it.

How do you adjust your Trezor Suite settings?

You adjust them by opening Suite, unlocking your device, and working through the settings sections in order. The short procedure below moves from display currency to theme and then to coin and account options, so you end with a wallet view that reads the way you want it to.

Step 1: Open Suite and unlock your device

Open Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor and unlock it with its PIN, since the settings you change are stored with the app rather than behind a cloud login. There is no email and password to enter, and any page that asks for one is not the genuine Suite.

Step 2: Open the application settings

Open the settings area of Suite, where the options are grouped so that application preferences and coin choices sit in separate sections. Taking a moment to see how the groups are laid out makes the later steps quicker to find.

Step 3: Set your display currency

Choose the local currency you want balances shown in, so that the values displayed match the money you think in day to day. This changes only the label and the converted figure, and your actual holdings stay exactly as they were.

Step 4: Switch on dark mode and hidden balances

Change the theme to dark mode if you prefer it, and turn on the option to hide balances so that amounts are masked until you choose to reveal them. Both are comfort settings, easy to switch back at any time.

Step 5: Adjust your coin and account settings

Open the coin settings to show or hide the networks you use, then rename or label your accounts so your wallet reads clearly at a glance. None of this moves funds, so you can tidy the view as often as you like.

Trezor Suite settings at a glance

The table below groups the common personalization options, what each one does, and whether it has any bearing on security. It is a quick reference rather than a full menu map, since the exact layout can vary a little by platform and version.

Setting What it changes Effect on security
Display currency The local currency your balances are shown in None, it only relabels values
Theme Light or dark appearance of the app None, purely visual
Hide balances Masks amounts until you reveal them Privacy only, spending still needs the device
Coin visibility Shows or hides networks in the view None, hidden coins are not removed
Account labels Custom names for your accounts Indirect, clearer names reduce mistakes

Read down the last column and a pattern stands out. Almost every personalization choice is cosmetic, and the one place where security truly lives, the confirmation on your device, is not a setting you can weaken from a menu.

Do settings changes affect your keys or recovery seed?

No. Changing settings in Trezor Suite never touches your keys or your recovery seed. The keys are generated and stored on the device and never leave it, and the seed is created with the device and written offline. Settings only shape how information is displayed inside the app.

This separation is deliberate. The parts of a wallet that matter most are kept away from anything a menu could alter, so a wrong toggle cannot expose a secret or move a coin. You are free to experiment with the appearance and layout, knowing the worst outcome is a view you dislike, which you can simply change back.

The one thing to stay alert to is a false prompt. No genuine setting asks you to type your recovery seed into the app or a website, so if adjusting options ever leads to such a request, stop. Your seed is entered only during an official on device recovery, and any other request for it is a scam.

Frequently asked questions

Are my Trezor Suite settings stored on a server somewhere?

No. Trezor Suite has no cloud account, so preferences such as your display currency and theme are kept with the app on the device you use rather than on a server. That means a setting you change on one computer will not automatically follow you to a different machine, and you may set your favourites again there.

Does hiding my balances add real security or just tidy the screen?

Hiding balances is mainly a privacy convenience for shoulder surfing, not a lock on your funds. It masks the numbers so a passer by cannot read your totals, yet it does not change who can move coins. Moving anything still needs the connected device and a physical confirmation, whatever the screen shows.

If I hide a coin in the settings, do I lose it?

No. Hiding a coin or network only removes it from view to keep the interface uncluttered. The funds remain tied to the keys on your Trezor, and turning the coin back on in the settings makes the account visible again. Visibility is a display choice and has no effect on ownership.

Can changing a setting ever expose my recovery seed?

No ordinary setting reveals your recovery seed. The seed is created with the device, written down offline and entered only during an official on device recovery. Suite settings deal with display and preferences, so any prompt to type your seed while adjusting options is a scam and should be refused.
