Title: Trezor security
Post by: OmegaStarScream on January 25, 2019, 10:10:20 AM
Yesterday, when I turned off the computer, I left my Trezor wallet plugged in. After waking up today and turning the PC again, the device was showing this (https://wiki.trezor.io/images/User-manual_trezor-pin.jpg) even though I only had Firefox opened but didn't visit the Trezor website.

I have Trezor bridge installed and I understand that it's supposed to run in the background once I start the computer but this never happened to me before, or at least I didn't notice. Can someone confirm that this is normal behavior?

Yes, it is a normal behavior of every TREZOR device. You can easily check it by connecting your TREZOR to your phone charger. The device automatically boots up after it receives power. For example, TREZOR T does not establish a USB connection (no data is sent to the PC) if user doesn't enter the PIN on the device. TREZOR One has to communicate with the PC right after establishing a connection because it is needed for PIN entry.
