Welcome! This colorful, human-friendly guide walks you through signing in to your Trezor hardware wallet the safe way. We’ll cover the official entry points, the step-by-step flow, and smart security habits to protect your crypto every time you connect.
Use the official app or domain. Launch Trezor Suite on desktop, or navigate to the official website from a trusted bookmark. Avoid search-ad links. If something looks off, stop immediately.
Tip: Type the address yourself and verify the padlock in your browser.
Connect your Trezor device. Plug in your Trezor Model One or Model T via USB. If prompted, allow the device to communicate with the Suite app.
Confirm on device. The core of Trezor security is confirming sensitive actions on the physical device screen. Compare any address or action shown on your computer with the one on your Trezor and approve only if it matches.
Enter your PIN (on device). Your PIN unlocks the wallet locally. Never share it. If you use a randomized PIN matrix, make sure you’re following the device prompts exactly.
Optional: Enter passphrase. If you’ve enabled a passphrase (sometimes called the 25th word), you’ll be asked for it. Treat your passphrase like a vault key—memorize it and never store it with your recovery seed.
Let Suite sync. After unlocking, Trezor Suite syncs balances and transaction history. You can now view accounts, receive, or prepare transactions—always confirming critical details on the device screen.
Finish with a quick security scan. Before sending any funds, double-check your recipient address, fee settings, and network. A 10-second review can save a lot of pain.
Important: No one legitimate will ever ask for your recovery seed or passphrase. If a site, “agent,” or pop-up requests them, close everything—it's a scam.

FAQs
Common Questions About Signing In
Is “signing in” the same as logging into a website?
Not exactly. With a hardware wallet, you’re unlocking the device locally and authorizing actions in Trezor Suite. Your keys never leave the device; that’s why confirmation on the Trezor screen is essential.
Can I use Trezor on multiple computers?
Yes. As long as you have Trezor Suite installed and your device with you, you can connect from different computers. Keep each machine clean and up to date.
Do I need my recovery seed to sign in?
No. Your seed is only for wallet recovery or device initialization. Never use it for routine sign-ins.
What if I see a prompt asking for my seed online?
Close the page—it’s a scam. Trezor Suite won’t ask you to type your seed into your computer. If you’re unsure, disconnect and reopen Suite from a verified source.
Should I enable a passphrase?
Power users often do, because it adds another secret that derives a separate wallet. If you enable it, commit to strong memorization and consistent entry.
Ready to Sign In the Right Way?
Connect your device, verify every prompt on the Trezor screen, and manage your assets with confidence. Bookmark official sources, keep software current, and remember: if anyone asks for your seed or passphrase, it’s not support—it’s a scam.
