š What Is Trezor Login?
Trezor login refers to the secure authentication process of accessing your cryptocurrency wallet using a Trezor hardware device in combination with the Trezor Suite application. Unlike traditional logins that use usernames and passwords, Trezor uses hardware-based authentication, ensuring that your private keys and sensitive information stay entirely offline and secure.
š§ How Trezor Login Works
The login process with Trezor isnāt about entering credentials on a websiteāitās about securely verifying access using your physical Trezor device. Hereās how it works step-by-step:
1. Launch Trezor Suite
- Open the Trezor Suite desktop app or use the web version (if preferred).
- Always make sure you're using the official software.
2. Connect Your Trezor Device
- Plug in your Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T using a USB cable.
- The app will detect your device and start the handshake process.
3. Enter Your PIN on the Device
- On your Trezor, input the PIN code that unlocks access.
- For Model One, the keypad will be randomized and shown on your computer screen; for Model T, youāll enter it directly on the touchscreen.
4. Confirm Wallet Access
- Once the PIN is verified, your wallet is decrypted, and you can access your crypto portfolio, send/receive coins, and manage accounts.
At no point are your private keys exposed to your computer or the internet.
