What is Trezor Login?
Trezor login is the process of securely accessing your cryptocurrency wallet using your **Trezor hardware wallet**. Unlike traditional logins, Trezor doesn't use a username or password. Instead, it uses **device-based authentication** and **on-device confirmations** to ensure complete security.
When you plug in your Trezor device and access the **Trezor Suite**, you're not entering a centralized account. Instead, you're verifying your identity through cryptographic keys stored offline on your device.
How to Log in with Trezor
- Connect your Trezor device: Use a USB cable to connect your Trezor Model One, Model T, or Safe 3 to your computer.
- Open Trezor Suite: You can use the web version at suite.trezor.io/web or download the desktop app from trezor.io.
- Unlock your device: Enter your **PIN code** on the device screen. This step confirms your identity and unlocks access.
- Confirm login: Trezor Suite will verify the device and load your crypto accounts. All transactions and interactions are confirmed on the device itself.
This login process is **phishing-resistant** and ensures no one can access your funds unless they physically possess the device and know your PIN.
Trezor Suite Login Options
- Desktop App: Offers full features, including hidden wallets, coin control, and Tor integration. Recommended for advanced users.
- Web App: Fast and accessible from any browser. Requires Trezor Bridge or WebUSB support.
Both versions require physical interaction with your Trezor device, ensuring no unauthorized access—even if your computer is compromised.
Hidden Wallet Login (Passphrase)
For advanced privacy, Trezor offers a **hidden wallet** feature using a **passphrase**. When logging in, after entering your PIN, you’ll be asked to enter an optional passphrase.
Each unique passphrase generates a separate hidden wallet — ideal for storing private or high-value funds separately.
