Secure Wallet Login — Hardware & Software

A modern, privacy-first login flow for hardware wallet access and account recovery.

About this login experience

This page demonstrates a secure login flow for a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that supports both hardware devices (USB/Bluetooth hardware wallets) and local passphrase-based logins. It is intentionally generic and avoids any brand logos, vendor-specific instructions, or steps that could be used for impersonation. The page emphasizes clear security cues and actionable guidance so users understand how to authenticate safely.

Key features & security practices

  • Hardware-first authentication: Connect your hardware wallet (e.g., via WebUSB / WebHID) to sign in — never enter private keys into the browser.
  • Explicit 2FA / device confirmation: Require on-device confirmation and optional software two-factor authentication for added defense-in-depth.
  • Passphrase hints only: If you use a passphrase (BIP39 passphrase), only show a hint or label, and never show the passphrase itself or allow it to be exported from the device.
  • Phishing resistance: Prominent UI elements to confirm the origin of the page and links to official support channels; encourage bookmark usage and device verification.

What to do if you suspect a phishing page

If the site’s appearance is unexpected, or any login flow asks you to paste your recovery seed or private key into the browser, stop immediately. Real hardware wallets never request the full seed in a web form. Verify the site URL, open your hardware device’s official companion app, and contact the vendor’s verified support channels. Consider using a different device or network while you investigate.

Recovery and caution

Recovering access to a non-custodial wallet typically requires your recovery seed or hardware device. Keep seeds offline and in multiple secure locations. Use metal backup plates for long-term storage if available. If you share an account with multi-sig, follow the documented multi-sig recovery process — never attempt to “recover” by pasting a seed into random websites.

Usability tips

  • Keep your device firmware up to date through the vendor’s official updater.
  • Use a strong, unique passphrase and store its hint in a separate password manager entry.
  • For frequent use, prefer hardware confirmations over passwords — device button presses are harder to intercept.
