Hardware-Based Authentication for Ultimate Security

Passwordless Authentication with Hardware Security

Trezor Login revolutionizes online authentication by replacing vulnerable passwords with hardware-backed cryptographic proof, eliminating phishing risks and credential theft.

No Passwords • No Phishing • Hardware Security

What is Trezor Login?

Trezor Login is a revolutionary authentication system that uses your Trezor hardware wallet to securely log into supported online services without traditional passwords. Instead of memorizing complex passwords or relying on password managers, you prove your identity using cryptographic signatures generated by your Trezor device.

🔐

Passwordless Authentication

Eliminate the need for passwords entirely. Your Trezor device becomes your universal authentication key for supported services.

🛡️

Phishing Protection

Even if you accidentally visit a fake login page, your Trezor won't authorize access to the wrong domain, preventing account takeover.

💾

Hardware Security

Your private keys never leave your Trezor device, ensuring they can't be stolen by malware or keyloggers on your computer.

Important: Currently in Beta

Trezor Login is currently available as a beta feature through the Trezor Suite application and supports a growing list of online services. The technology represents the future of secure authentication.

How Trezor Login Works

Trezor Login uses public-key cryptography to authenticate your identity without transmitting sensitive information over the internet.

Authentication

Challenge-Response Protocol

The service sends a unique cryptographic challenge that your Trezor signs with your private key, proving ownership without revealing the key itself.

Domain Binding

Each signature is cryptographically bound to the specific domain name, preventing phishing attacks even if you visit a malicious lookalike site.

Physical Verification

You must physically confirm each login attempt on your Trezor device, preventing unauthorized access even if your computer is compromised.

Security Advantages

Trezor Login provides significant security improvements over traditional authentication methods by eliminating common attack vectors.

Security Aspect Traditional Passwords Trezor Login
Phishing Protection Vulnerable Immune
Malware/Keylogger Risk High None
Password Reuse Issues Common Eliminated
Data Breach Impact Severe Minimal
Physical Security Required No Yes

Key Security Features

🌍

Domain Locking

Signatures are cryptographically bound to specific domains, making them useless on phishing sites with similar-looking URLs.

📱

Physical Confirmation

Every login requires pressing a button on your Trezor device, preventing remote attacks even with full computer control.

🔑

Private Key Protection

Your authentication keys never leave the secure element of your Trezor device, protected from extraction even if the device is stolen.
