Trezor Suite App — Secure crypto with Trezor (no email/password)
Device-first access: WebAuthn, hardware pairing, and PIN/passphrase verification on-device
This page is an illustrative HTML guide and demo UI showing how users can access Trezor-protected wallets without relying on email/password authentication.
Why remove email/password from the critical path?
Password-based logins are vulnerable to phishing, credential reuse, and account takeovers. Trezor-focused flows minimize these weaknesses by relying on cryptographic device attestations and on-device confirmations rather than server-stored credentials.
Device-first access patterns
WebAuthn / Passkeys: Use platform or hardware-backed credentials (FIDO2) for phishing-resistant, passwordless login.
Device pairing: Brief pairing step that issues a persistent key tied to your Trezor device and host browser.
On-device PIN/Passphrase: Final authorization always happens on the Trezor device; the host never sees private keys.
Phishing resistance
WebAuthn prevents sites from capturing reusable credentials.
Reduced attack surface
No server-side password database to breach.
Better UX on modern devices
Passkeys and platform authenticators are often faster and cross-device friendly.
How recovery works without email
Account recovery is still based on your hardware seed + optional passphrase. If your device is lost, use your recovery seed on a new Trezor device. Consider metal backups and secure offline storage for recovery secrets.
Operational checklist
Purchase hardware from authorized sellers and verify packaging.
Keep firmware up to date and verify release authenticity where possible.
Store recovery seeds offline (paper or metal) and avoid digital copies.
Use a passphrase only if you understand the recovery implications.
Implementation notes for developers
Implement WebAuthn relying party and verify authenticator attestation to ensure the key is tied to a valid hardware device.
Store only public keys and non-sensitive metadata server-side; avoid storing device identifiers that could deanonymize users.
Require on-device user verification (PIN/passphrase) for transaction signing; never perform signing purely in the browser without explicit device approval.
Provide clear recovery instructions and encourage offline backups (metal seed storage) to prevent single points of failure.
UX considerations
Offer approachable onboarding that explains why passwordless is safer and instructs users how to recover if their device is lost. Include fallbacks (e.g., secondary registered passkeys) while ensuring recovery remains hardware-seed-first.
Security reminder: Passwordless does not mean password-free recovery — your seed is still the ultimate key. Protect it accordingly.
