What it is
Hardware-backed login pairs your identity with a protected cryptographic key stored on a Trezor device. Access requires physical possession and your local unlock method.
This short presentation explains how Trezor Hardware Login® provides a streamlined, hardware-secure sign-in experience for your crypto and high-value assets. It describes the purpose, benefits, and recommended steps to adopt secure hardware authentication while preserving recovery best practices.
Hardware-backed login pairs your identity with a protected cryptographic key stored on a Trezor device. Access requires physical possession and your local unlock method.
By isolating private keys from the network and the host computer, hardware login prevents remote theft, phishing, and many malware attacks that target software wallets.
Active crypto holders, custodians, developers, and security-conscious users who need an extra layer of physical protection for authentication keys.
Stronger protection, phishing resistance, simple UX for sign-in, and compatibility with modern web authentication flows and multisig setups.
Keep your recovery seed offline, update firmware, and set a PIN on the device.
Register the device with the service using a secure onboarding flow and confirm physical prompts on the Trezor.
Authenticate by connecting your device and approving the challenge — no private key ever leaves the hardware.
Integrations typically use strong challenge/response flows, WebAuthn or custom signing endpoints. Ensure your backend only accepts signatures from registered hardware devices and enforces rate limits and anomaly detection.
Trezor Hardware Login® combines the usability of modern sign-in flows with the uncompromising security of hardware key storage. For individuals and organizations holding valuable digital assets, hardware-backed authentication is an essential layer of protection that reduces the risk surface and prevents a broad class of account-takeover attacks. Adopt hardware-first sign-in, protect recovery seeds offline, and keep firmware and onboarding processes audited.
