This was my question as I want to find out more about my UTXOs, of which Sparrow Wallet has a functionality of, but to my knowledge Trezor Suite doesn’t.

Yes, in most cases, you can use your hardware wallet with different software applications on the same computer. Hardware wallets, like those offered by Trezor or Ledger, are generally compatible with multiple wallet software applications.

For example, if you have a Trezor hardware wallet, you can use it with both the official Trezor Suite software and other compatible third-party wallets, such as Sparrow Wallet.

Here’s a general guide on how to do this:

1. Install Both Wallet Software:
   • Install the official software for your hardware wallet (Trezor Suite in this case) from the official website.
   • Install the alternative wallet software you want to use (Sparrow Wallet).
2. Connect Hardware Wallet:
   • Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the USB cable.
   • Follow the instructions provided by the software to set up or access your wallet.
3. Switching Between Software:
   • You can switch between using Trezor Suite and Sparrow Wallet on the same computer by connecting your hardware wallet as needed.
   • Disconnect the hardware wallet from one software application before trying to connect it to another.
4. Security Considerations:
   • Ensure that both software applications are reputable and obtained from official sources.
   • Be cautious with entering your recovery seed or backup phrase. You generally shouldn’t need to do this when switching between compatible wallets.

Always follow best security practices and use trustworthy software to ensure the safety of your cryptocurrency holdings. If you’re uncertain about compatibility or security aspects, refer to the documentation provided by the hardware wallet manufacturer and the respective wallet software developers.
