connection to TREZOR without password

Open RaulRider opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

When trying to create a new wallet with a Trezor (Trezor one) the connection fails if no password is set (trezor's password) which I tried by leaving the field password blank.

The connection works fine if you set a password (Trezor's password)

Found this somewhat related issue that was resolved. https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/issues/489

Does the Trezor One work with other wallets using HWI?

It's true that HWI fails when the Trezor is configured to require a passphrase, and no passphrase is supplied. Ideally HWI should not fail, and should simply return the wallet configured only by the seed. This needs an issue on the HWI Github - I haven't got to it yet.

The simple workaround is to toggle off the passphrase functionality on the Trezor (see the USB icon in the status bar).

Electrum doesn't use HWI.
