Trezor Hardware Login®

Overview

Trezor Hardware Login® allows you to authenticate and interact with your wallet directly on the device. Private keys never leave the Trezor, ensuring secure access even if your computer is compromised.

Why Hardware Login Matters

• Protects against phishing and malware attacks.
• Requires physical confirmation for every transaction.
• Ensures private keys remain offline and secure.
• Provides a more secure alternative to passwords or software wallets.

Step-by-Step Secure Login

1. Download Trezor Suite from trezor.io/start.
2. Install Trezor Bridge if connecting via a browser.
3. Connect your Trezor device using the supplied USB cable.
4. Open Trezor Suite or a supported Web3 app.
5. Enter your PIN on the device using the randomized keypad.
6. Confirm transactions and login requests on-device.
7. Disconnect or lock your device when finished.

PIN, Passphrase & Recovery Seed

• PIN: Protects device from unauthorized access. Never share it.
• Passphrase: Optional 25th word for hidden wallets. Keep it secure.
• Recovery Seed: Offline backup of your wallet. Never store digitally.

Firmware Verification & Updates

Always install official firmware updates via Trezor Suite. Verify on-device prompts match the Suite instructions to prevent malicious modifications.

Troubleshooting

• Device not detected: check USB connection, try another port, reinstall Bridge.
• PIN not accepted: use randomized keypad layout. Restore with recovery seed if needed.
• Unexpected requests: reject immediately, disconnect device, review app origin.

Best Practices

• Download only from trezor.io/start.
• Never enter your recovery seed on a computer.
• Keep firmware and Suite updated.
• Use passphrase only if secure and remembered.
• Always verify transaction details on-device before approval.
