Trezor Login® | Getting started®®

Step-by-step Login — quick start

Trezor users begin by connecting the device to a computer or mobile device and opening the official Trezor web or desktop interface. The familiar Login flow uses hardware verification: you confirm actions on the device screen, not only on your computer.

Follow these essential steps to complete your first login and access the device dashboard:

• Connect the Trezor with the supplied USB cable (or via supported mobile adapter).
• Open the official Trezor Suite or the official web interface (always verify URL and HTTPS padlock).
• Authenticate by following prompts on the Trezor hardware screen — physical button presses confirm that you (the device-holder) approve the login.
• Set a PIN on the device if this is your first setup (PIN is required to unlock the device locally).
• Write down the recovery seed (on paper) and store it safely; this is the only way to recover coins if the device is lost or damaged.

Each step must be confirmed on the device itself; never type your recovery seed into a computer or send it over the internet. The built-in device screen is a core security boundary — actions shown on-screen are final only when physically confirmed.

Security Best Practices — protect keys and login

Security is the central purpose of using a hardware wallet. Below are recommended practices to keep your login and funds secure:

• Buy from official channels or authorized resellers to avoid tampered devices.
• Always verify firmware via Trezor Suite and complete official updates when prompted.
• Use a strong PIN and enable passphrase (optional) for an additional layer; treat passphrase like a password — do not store it with the seed.
• Keep your recovery seed offline on paper or steel backup; consider split-seed or multi-location storage for high-value holdings.
• Avoid phishing sites: verify URLs, bookmarks the official site, and confirm the device is showing the same transaction details during any signing request.
• Use separate devices for high-risk activities; never reuse the same computer for unknown downloads or risky interactions while accessing your hardware wallet.

When you log in, look for the exact address shown on the device and confirm it matches the application. If a mismatch appears, cancel and investigate. Because the Trezor device displays the final address and amount, it prevents a compromised computer from silently stealing funds during Login actions without your explicit device confirmation.

Troubleshooting & common login issues

If the device is unresponsive, do not panic — many problems have simple fixes:

• Device not detected: try a different cable, USB port, or another computer. Use original cable where possible.
• Firmware mismatch: open Trezor Suite and follow the firmware update instructions. Always verify firmware signatures where provided.
• Forgotten PIN: resetting the device will wipe it — use your recovery seed to restore. This protects funds from brute-force on stolen devices.
• Browser warnings: if a browser blocks connection, switch to the recommended interface (Trezor Suite) or ensure the browser is up to date and allowed to access USB devices.

For advanced or unusual problems, the official support documentation and community forums typically have step-by-step guidance. Keep your recovery seed secure before attempting any reset or firmware operation.

Resources & links

Use these types of resources when you need authoritative help:

• Official support pages and the Trezor knowledge base.
• Release notes for firmware and Trezor Suite updates.
• Community guides for advanced setups (e.g., passphrase strategies, multi-sig tutorials).
