A short, clear overview of how to log in to a Trezor hardware wallet and basic safety tips.
What is Trezor?
Trezor is a hardware wallet that stores the private keys for your cryptocurrency offline. Instead of keeping keys on a computer or phone, keys stay inside the Trezor device, which reduces the risk of remote theft. Logging in to your Trezor means connecting it to the official Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet and confirming transactions on the device.
Quick steps to log in
Connect your Trezor device to your computer with the USB cable that came with it.
Open Trezor Suite (downloaded from the official trezor.io site) or a supported wallet extension.
Follow on-screen prompts to unlock: enter your PIN using the device or the on-screen keyboard if required.
If your device asks, confirm the device fingerprint and approve the connection directly on the Trezor unit.
Once unlocked, you can view balances, receive addresses, and prepare transactions. Always confirm transaction details on the device screen before approving.
Security tips
Only download Trezor software from the official website (trezor.io).
Never share your recovery seed or enter it into a website or app. The recovery seed is for offline use only.
Use a passphrase in addition to your PIN for extra security (optional and advanced).
Confirm every transaction on the physical device — do not rely on the computer screen alone.
Troubleshooting
If the device does not connect, try a different USB cable or port. Ensure your operating system is up to date and that you are running the latest Trezor Suite. If you see unexpected prompts asking for your recovery seed, disconnect immediately and verify you are on the correct official app.
