Trezor® Hardware Wallet — Secure Crypto Management

Overview

Trezor® hardware wallets provide a secure, offline environment for managing cryptocurrencies. By isolating private keys from your computer, Trezor protects funds against malware, phishing, and other online attacks. Users access wallets using a combination of PINs, passphrases, and official Trezor apps.

Why use a hardware wallet?

Hardware wallets ensure your crypto assets remain secure, even if your PC or phone is compromised. They allow:

Safe storage of private keys offline.
Verification of transactions on-device before approval.
Multi-currency support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other coins.

Login and access flow

Step 1 — Connect device

Attach your Trezor to a computer via USB or WebUSB and open Trezor Suite or a supported wallet.

Step 2 — Verify device authenticity

Check the device fingerprint and firmware version on-screen. Never proceed if it differs from the expected values.

Step 3 — Enter PIN

Input your PIN using the device screen with scrambled keypad protection.

Step 4 — Optional passphrase

Use a passphrase for hidden wallets. Store it securely — losing it means losing access to funds.

Step 5 — Access granted

After authentication, manage accounts, check balances, and confirm transactions. Always verify details on the device screen.
