Can you describe the difference between a Trezor passphrase and the standard PIN used for login?

Certainly! The Trezor passphrase and the standard PIN used for login serve different purposes and provide different levels of security:

  1. Standard PIN: The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a numeric code that you set up during the initial setup of your Trezor device. It acts as the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your wallet. When you connect your Trezor device to a computer or mobile device, you'll be prompted to enter the PIN. Without the correct PIN, access to the wallet is denied. The PIN is typically a short numeric code (e.g., 4-6 digits) and is used to authenticate the user during the login process.

  2. Trezor Passphrase: The Trezor passphrase, also known as the "25th word," is an optional additional security feature offered by Trezor. Unlike the PIN, which is a numeric code, the passphrase is a sequence of characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols. You can set up the passphrase during the initial setup of your Trezor device or add it later. The passphrase acts as an additional layer of encryption for your wallet's private keys. Without the correct passphrase, even if someone has access to your Trezor device and knows the PIN, they cannot access your wallet. The passphrase is not stored on the device and must be entered manually each time you connect your Trezor device to access your wallet.

In summary, while both the standard PIN and the Trezor passphrase are used for authentication and security purposes, they serve different roles. The PIN is a numeric code used for basic login authentication, while the passphrase adds an extra layer of encryption to your wallet's private keys, enhancing security further.
