Why Trezor Login matters

Using Trezor Login keeps your private keys isolated inside the hardware device — even when you sign in online. Below is a detailed guide and best practices so you keep your holdings safe.

1
Hardware security
Private keys never leave your Trezor device. Even when logging into web services, the device signs transactions locally.
2
Phishing resistance
Trezor screens show transaction details. Confirm exactly what you're signing to avoid scams.
3
Recovery & backup
Use your recovery seed to restore access — keep it offline and physically secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trezor Login?
+
Trezor Login is a secure authentication flow that uses your Trezor hardware wallet to sign login or transaction requests. It authenticates you without exposing your private keys to the web browser or the service.
Can a website steal my crypto during login?
+
No — a website cannot directly access your private keys. However, malicious sites may trick you into signing harmful transactions. Always verify details on the device screen before confirming.
What if I lose my Trezor device?
+
If you've kept your recovery seed (the 12/24-word backup), you can restore your wallet on a new Trezor or compatible wallet. Without the recovery seed, funds cannot be recovered.
Does Trezor Login work with mobile browsers?
+
Yes — many wallets and mobile browsers support connecting to Trezor via WebUSB, WebHID, or companion apps. Mobile support can vary by platform and browser; check the wallet provider's compatibility notes.
How do I keep my recovery seed safe?
+
Write your recovery seed on the supplied card or an equally durable medium and store it in a secure, offline location. Consider multiple physical copies in separate secure locations; never store the seed digitally or in cloud storage.
