1. What Is the Trézor® Wallet & Why You Need It

The Trézor® Wallet (hardware device) combined with the Trézor® Suite software (desktop/web wallet) provides the secure gateway to your crypto assets.

• Hardware Wallet: Stores your private keys offline; no software can steal them.
• Suite: Enables you to view balances, sign transactions, install apps—all while keys stay on the device.

Why login matters:

• Prevents unauthorized access
• Protects against malware, phishing, remote hacks
• Ensures you control when the wallet is unlocked

2. The Philosophy Behind Secure Wallet Login

Trézor emphasizes non-custodial self-custody—meaning you, and only you, control your keys and funds.
Key principles include:

• PIN protection—prevents theft by limiting device access
• Passphrase option—creates hidden wallets within the device
• Recovery seed—only you have offline access to restore funds

Login isn’t simply "authentication"; it's a security boundary protecting your assets at all times.

3. Trézor® Devices That Support Login

Secure login is available on these devices:

• Trézor® Model One (LCD + buttons)
• Trézor® Model T (touchscreen, USB‑C, MicroSD)

Both devices feature encrypted key storage and hardware-backed login screens—no software impersonation possible.

4. Preparing for First-Time Login

Before your first login, follow these steps:

1. Purchase a genuine device from trezor.io
2. Check the package seal and authenticity
3. Visit trezor.io/start
4. Download either:

• Trézor® Suite Desktop
• Trézor® Suite Web (with Bridge integration)

Having proper software ensures you log in safely and reliably.

5. Installing Trézor® Suite & Browser Support

Desktop:

• Install the correct version (Windows/macOS/Linux)
• Run the installer and allow all permissions
• Upon first launch, the Suite welcomes you with login/setup options

Web:

• Visit suite.trezor.io/web, optionally download Trezor Bridge
• Once Bridge is installed, login access is enabled without installation

6. Connecting Your Device & Verifying Authenticity

1. Plug your Trézor® into USB
2. Suite should detect the device and prompt the “genuine check”
3. The device displays a random screen; confirm it matches the Suite
4. This check protects against counterfeit hardware

Only when authenticity is confirmed can you securely log in.

7. Creating or Restoring a Wallet

After passing the authenticity check, Suite prompts you to:

• Create a new wallet — generates new recovery seed
• Restore wallet — enter existing seed

During creation, your device displays the recovery seed to write down. Never skip this step — it’s your only backup.

8. PIN Setup: Accessing Your Trézor® Wallet

The next prompt is assigning a 4–9 digit PIN:

• PIN entry uses scrambled on-screen keypad to avoid surveillance
• Three incorrect attempts cause device reset, protecting your keys
• The correct PIN unlocks the device and your Suite login

You must physically press device buttons to confirm login.

9. Everyday Login: How to Access Your Funds

To log in:

1. Open Trézor Suite (desktop or web)
2. Connect device via USB
3. Enter your PIN on-device
4. Suite loads your wallet with account list and balances

This workflow ensures login is seamless, secure, and always under your control.

10. Managing Multi-Account Structures

The Suite supports:

• Multiple accounts per coin (e.g., “Savings BTC”, “Trading ETH”)
• Hierarchical access: accounts migrate to Suite only after login
• You can log in, view balances, add/remove accounts at will

All accounts are unlocked together—no separate logins are required per account after initial PIN entry.

11. Logging In Across Desktop and Web

Logged-in states are separate per device/app:

• Desktop login does not carry over to web Suite, even if same PIN
• You must reconnect the device and re-enter PIN each time
• This ensures each login session is authenticated independently

12. Mobile and Remote Access: What’s Coming

Currently, official mobile login requires native app support or remote solutions:

• Suite is desktop/web only
• Trezor® Model T offers microSD support for signed transactions offline
• Third-party wallets may extend mobile support soon

Always watch for official mobile integrations to ensure security.

13. Recovery Phrase, Passphrases, and Hidden Wallets

During login and recovery:

• A 12–24 word recovery seed is needed for data restoration
• Optional passphrase adds an extra login factor—creating hidden wallets
• If passphrase is enabled, login prompts you to input it; correct passphrase unlocks private key access

These options amplify both security and complexity during login.

14. Troubleshooting Login & Connectivity Issues

Common login issues:

• Device unplugged or faulty USB – re-plug or use official cable
• Wrong PIN – after wipe, recover via seed
• No Suite detection – check Bridge, reinstall drivers
• Stuck on ‘Checking device’ – use correct Suite version & addons

When troubleshooting, always keep your recovery seed accessible.

15. Advanced Login Scenarios (e.g., Multisig)

Power users may use:

• Multisig wallets (e.g., with Electrum) – device logs in only after partial signatures
• Developer mode – using Trezor’s CLI/API to authenticate scripts
• Each transaction requires device login to enter PIN and confirm actions

Advanced workflows add strength but also complexity to the login process.

16. Security Best Practices for Smooth Login

• Keep your Suite app updated
• Always run the genuine check
• Change PIN periodically
• Protect your recovery seed offline
• Only connect to trusted computers
• Avoid unnecessary mobile/remote login solutions until officially vetted

Strong login hygiene is your first line of defense.

17. Support Channels for Login Assistance

Suite includes built-in help links. For more help:

• Support Portal: support.trezor.io
• Community Forum & Reddit: for peer help
• Official Guides & Video Tutorials: cover login errors and walkthroughs

Important: Trezor support will never ask for your PIN or recovery phrase.

18. Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What if I forget my PIN?
A. After repeated wrong attempts, device wipes—restore with your seed.

Q. Can I skip entering the PIN?
A. No—PIN is mandatory every login session.

Q. Do I need internet to log in?
A. No, only to launch Suite and check account balances.

Q. Can malware intercept login?
A. No—the private keys never leave the hardware during login.

19. How Secure Login Empowers Crypto Self-Custody

Secure login ensures:

• You control access—not anyone else
• Transactions are never signed without you
• Hardware keeps keys safe—even if software is compromised
• Login process is simple yet powerful

With the right mindset, login becomes a daily ritual of self-ownership—not a burden.

20. Final Thoughts & Next Steps

– Dashboard unlocked, balance visible → you’re now in charge.
– Go send, stake, swap—but always confirm actions on-device.
– Stay updated, aware, and secure.
