What is Trezor Login?
Trezor Login is a secure authentication method that lets you log into supported web services using your Trezor hardware wallet. Instead of relying on passwords, users can verify their identity through cryptographic signatures generated by the Trezor device.
This method ensures maximum privacy and security, protecting your digital identity against phishing, brute-force attacks, and data leaks.
Why Use Trezor for Login?
Password-based logins are prone to compromise. Trezor login brings hardware-level protection to online authentication:
- ✅ No need to remember complex passwords
- ✅ Immune to keyloggers and credential phishing
- ✅ Only you can authorize logins using your device
- ✅ Compatible with open authentication standards
- ✅ Fast and easy login experience
How Trezor Login Works
When logging into a supported app or website, the service sends a unique login challenge (a message). This message is then signed by your Trezor device using your private key. The signed message proves ownership of the private key, without revealing it.
The basic process:
- User visits login page and selects Login with Trezor
- Browser communicates with
Trezor Bridge
orWebUSB
- The Trezor device prompts the user to authorize the login
- Device signs a challenge and sends back a signature
- The web service verifies the signature and grants access
