How to use Trezor as U2F security token

Trezor hardware wallets can also be used as U2F security tokens, enhancing the security of all your online accounts (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, social media accounts, email accounts, etc.).

Click here to find an overview of all the online services that support the latest U2F security standards.

Unlike other U2F security tokens, the Trezor hardware wallet allows users to verify at all times what actions are being approved or denied on the screen of the device.

In the below step-by-step guide, the set-up process is shown for generating a Trezor U2F security token for a service called Dropbox. Any other online service that supports the U2F security standard will have a similar set-up process.

Step 1

Sign in

Connectez-vous à votre compte Dropbox et accédez ensuite aux « Paramètres » de votre compte Dropbox.
Step 2

Tab Security

Select the tab ‘Security’ and toggle the ‘Two-step verification’ option.
Step 3

Use mobile app

Choose one of the available 2FA security methods (SMS or application) and click on the blue button ‘Next’. Follow the instructions until the 2FA method is activated.
Step 4

Add a security key

Once the 2FA method has been activated, click on ‘Add’ in the ‘Security Keys’ section under the tab ‘Security’.
Step 5

Begin setup

Click on the blue button ‘Begin setup’.
Step 6

Connect your Trezor device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer and click on the blue button ‘Key Inserted’.
Step 7

Connect your Trezor device to your computer and click on the blue button ‘Key Inserted’.

If your Trezor device is connected to your computer, your Trezor device will automatically be detected.

Confirm the action on your Trezor device.
Step 8

Finish

Appuyez sur « Terminer » afin de finaliser l’activation.

Click on the blue button ‘Finish’.

Congratulations. You can now use your Trezor device as a U2F security token when you sign in to your Dropbox account.

Follow a similar set up process for any other online service that supports the latest U2F security standard.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: In case you would use the seed key of your Trezor device to reset your Trezor wallet on another (new) Trezor device, all the Trezor U2F security tokens that were generated will also be transmitted to that other (new) Trezor device. As long as you keep your Trezor seed key safe, you will always be able to access all your Trezor U2F security tokens.
