Login to your Trezor — private keys stay with you
Logging into your Trezor device means unlocking a secure hardware boundary that stores your private keys offline. This interface is a streamlined gateway — it does not, and must not, transmit your seed phrase over the network. Instead, your Trezor authorizes actions from within the device. This page provides a clear, user-friendly experience to guide you through connection, authentication, and on-device confirmation.
Local Authentication
PIN entry and passphrase support keep your keys encrypted on the device. Authentication happens physically on your Trezor — not in the browser.
On-Device Confirmation
Transactions and sensitive operations require explicit confirmation on the hardware screen to prevent remote tampering.
Seed Safety
Your recovery seed remains offline. The browser communicates only transaction data that you approve; seeds never leave the hardware.
Transparent UX
Clear status indicators and informative prompts reduce mistakes and help you quickly identify an authentic Trezor connection.
Security guidance
- Verify Device: Always confirm the Trezor device boot screen and device label before connecting. Counterfeit devices can mimic UI but lack the same secure element.
- Never Share Your Seed: Your 12/24-word recovery phrase must never be typed into a website, app, or sent to anyone. Keep it offline in a secure location.
- Use a Strong PIN: Choose a PIN that is hard to guess and avoid predictable sequences. The device enforces rate limits for repeated attempts.
- Optional Passphrase: Consider using a passphrase for an additional hidden wallet layer. Remember, losing the passphrase means losing access to that hidden wallet.
- Firmware Updates: Keep the device firmware up to date by following official Trezor instructions — do not install unofficial firmware.
Frequently asked questions
How does login with Trezor work?
When you connect your Trezor, the browser establishes a secure USB/WebUSB channel to send unsigned transaction data to the device. The device displays a human-readable summary on its screen. You review the details and confirm the operation physically on the Trezor. The device signs the transaction inside its secure element and returns only the signed data, not your private key or seed.
What should I do if the device asks for my seed?
A genuine Trezor will never request that you type your seed into a website. If prompted to reveal or enter your recovery seed online, disconnect immediately and treat the request as a phishing attempt.
Can I recover my wallet if I lose the Trezor?
Yes — using your recovery seed you can restore funds to another compatible hardware wallet or supported software wallet that accepts Trezor-style seeds. Protect the seed at all costs; physical device loss can be recovered only with that seed.
Is this page storing my credentials?
No. The UI facilitates connection and displays helpful prompts. Authentication and key material remain on your device. This page is a conduit for user actions and cannot, by design, access private keys.
This login experience is written to inform and protect end users who choose the highest standard of self-custody. By keeping private keys on a hardware device and enforcing on-device confirmations, you substantially reduce the attack surface compared to online custody solutions. Remember: security is layered — physical safety of your device, careful online hygiene, strong PINs and optional passphrases, and trustworthy firmware updates together keep your crypto secure.
