Overview
Hardware wallets keep private keys offline. "Logging into" a wallet means establishing a verified connection and signing intent on-device — not entering passwords to a web page. Below you'll find design patterns, best practices, and troubleshooting advice for safe access.
1
On-device confirmation
Every sensitive action is confirmed on the hardware device display — this is the security boundary.
2
Local connectors
Companion apps or "bridge" tools mediate communication between browser apps and devices — keys never leave the device.
Best practices
- Verify every address and amount on the device screen before approving.
- Keep firmware and companion apps updated from official sources.
- Never share your recovery seed or enter it on a computer or website.
