Trezor @Login — Secure Crypto Access®

Security reminder: Never paste or type your 12/24-word recovery seed into any website or form. Only use the official device interface.

About this login and staying secure

Hardware wallets like Trezor store private keys in a secure chip and provide a trusted display for transaction signing. A proper login flow never requires you to reveal your recovery seed to a website. Instead, websites interact with the hardware device by requesting signed messages or transaction approvals; the critical secrets always remain on the device.

This demo page explains that flow and includes practical guidance. We emphasize common-sense protections and steps you should always follow when accessing crypto accounts:

Always verify the website URL and certificate before connecting a hardware wallet.
Never enter or paste your recovery seed into a webpage, chat app, or email—even to “restore” an account.
Prefer official companion software or browser extensions published by the hardware vendor.
Validate every transaction on the device screen and confirm address fingerprints when prompted.

How a secure login typically works

When a website supports hardware wallets it will ask the user to connect their device (via USB or Bluetooth) and will request a public key or a signed challenge. The device signs the challenge locally with the private key; only a signature and public key leave the device. This gives the website proof that the user controls the private key without exposing it.

For authentication the website might:

Send a random challenge to the client.
The client asks the hardware device to sign the challenge.
The site verifies the signature with the public key derived from your account.

Common user flow and best practices

First, ensure your device firmware and host software are up-to-date, and only use official downloads from the hardware vendor. When connecting, pay attention to on-device prompts. The device typically asks you to confirm a PIN and to confirm the action on the device screen. If anything looks unexpected, cancel and re-check the website.

What to do if something goes wrong

If a site asks you for your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase, treat that as an immediate red flag — it is a scam. A legitimate site will never require the recovery phrase to authenticate. If you suspect compromise, move funds to a new hardware wallet after initializing it with a brand-new seed you create on the device (not on a computer).

Keep a secure, offline backup of your recovery phrase, stored physically and separately from your connected devices. The highest-risk events are phishing websites and social engineering attempts aiming to trick you into exposing your seed.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I enter my recovery phrase to recover my wallet on a website?
A: No — recovery phrases must only be entered into secure hardware or official recovery flows of the vendor. Never use a website to type or paste your seed.

Q: Is signing safe?
A: Yes, provided you verify the transaction details on the hardware device screen before approving. A valid signature proves control without revealing the private key.

Example (do not use): abandon abandon ... — This demonstrates the idea of a seed phrase. Never type your real one into a page.
