How To Sign In To Trezor

Access your Trezor the right way—no passwords, no gimmicks, just your device.

Unlike web accounts, “signing in” to Trezor means connecting your hardware wallet to the official Trezor Suite (desktop or web), unlocking it with your PIN, and—optionally—entering a passphrase. This page shows you the exact flow, plus security tips to stay safe from phishing.

Signing in to Trezor, step by step

  1. 1) Launch Trezor Suite: Use the desktop app or the official web interface. Type trezor.io manually—avoid search ads or look‑alike links.
  2. 2) Connect the device: Plug in your Trezor with the supplied cable. If drivers or the bridge are required, follow the prompts from the official flow.
  3. 3) Confirm it’s genuine: Suite will check firmware and may prompt updates. Read each screen; only continue if everything looks authentic.
  4. 4) Unlock with PIN: Enter your PIN on the on‑screen matrix and confirm on the device. If you forget the PIN, you must reset the device and recover from your seed—PINs can’t be retrieved.
  5. 5) Optional passphrase: If enabled, enter your passphrase to open that specific hidden wallet. Remember: a different passphrase = a different wallet.
  6. 6) You’re in: Balances and accounts load in Suite. Always verify addresses on the hardware screen before receiving or sending.

Security habits that protect your coins

Small, consistent practices make “sign‑in” safer and stress‑free.

  • Type URLs by hand
  • Confirm addresses on‑device
  • Never share recovery seed
  • Use a password manager
  • Start with tiny test sends

Your recovery seed (12–24 words) is not needed for daily access. It’s only for recovery. Anyone who asks for it is scamming you.

Quick FAQ

Is there a Trezor “account” I sign into with email and password?

No. You access your wallet by connecting the hardware device and unlocking with a PIN (and optional passphrase). Your keys never leave the device.

Do I need my recovery seed to sign in?

Not for normal access. The seed is only required to recover after a reset or when migrating to a new device. Never type the seed into websites or chats.

Desktop Suite or web—which should I use?

Both are supported via the official flow. The desktop Suite minimizes browser extension risks; the web version is convenient if your environment is clean.

What if I forget my PIN?

You’ll need to reset the device and restore from your recovery seed. Trezor cannot recover a forgotten PIN for you.
