Overview: secure startup and first steps
This presentation page outlines the recommended startup login flow for a Trezor Hardware® device during first-time setup and subsequent device access. The approach emphasizes clarity, step-by-step guidance, and secure user input handling. The goal is to present the flow in a readable, print-friendly format that can be used as an internal handout or guiding slide.
Core objectives
- Provide a clear, minimal UI for device startup and login.
- Highlight security best practices (pin, phrase, firmware checks).
- Offer a mock login area for presentations and user testing.
Startup steps (recommended)
1. Power on the hardware device and verify its model and firmware version on the device display. 2. Connect via the official desktop application or web interface that pairs with the hardware using a secure communication channel. 3. If this is the first startup, follow the guided setup that creates a new seed and records the recovery phrase securely offline. 4. Create a device PIN for local access; the PIN should be entered only on the device screen whenever possible.
UX notes for the login screen
Avoid collecting sensitive data beyond what is strictly necessary on the host UI: require authentication through the hardware when possible. When a user must enter an email for account recovery or notifications, keep the field separate from any private key or PIN input. Ensure labels are explicit and provide helper text describing why the email is requested and how the device maintains privacy.
Accessibility & presentation tips
Use large, legible fonts and maintain high contrast between text and background (black text on white background for printability). Use consistent spacing and an uncluttered layout to keep the user's attention focused on key actions. For slide presentations, each major heading above can be treated as an individual slide with the right column showing a running login demo.
