Preparing Your Device

Checking Hardware Integrity

Before logging in, ensure your Trezor device is genuine. Look for:

Tip: Always download software only from the official Trezor website to avoid phishing attacks.

Firmware Check

Make sure your device firmware is up-to-date. Login might fail or be insecure if outdated firmware is used.

Connecting Your Trezor Wallet

USB Connection

Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer or mobile device. Ensure the connection is stable and direct, not via a hub when possible.

Browser & Desktop Access

Trezor Wallet can be accessed via Trezor Suite or supported browsers. For best security, desktop Suite is recommended.

Warning: Avoid using public computers or untrusted networks when logging in.

PIN Authentication

Setting Up Your PIN

When you first initialize your Trezor, you set a PIN. Each login requires entering this PIN on the device. The PIN screen shuffles numbers randomly to prevent keyloggers from detecting your code.

Entering Your PIN

Carefully enter your PIN on the device screen. Avoid entering it on the computer keyboard. This ensures your private keys remain safe.

Passphrase Protection

A passphrase provides an additional layer of security. It can create a hidden wallet that only you can access.

Enabling Passphrase Login

During login, you will be prompted to enter your passphrase if it is enabled. This passphrase can be alphanumeric and is case-sensitive.

Tip: Never store your passphrase digitally. Memorize it or store it in a secure offline location.
