Secure Setup Protocol
Initializing your hardware wallet is a critical step in securing your digital assets. Follow these precise instructions to ensure your recovery seed is generated offline and your device is protected against unauthorized access.
01. Device Initialization
Connect your Trezor device to a trusted network. Ensure your screen is not being viewed by others during the initial boot sequence to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
02. Secure PIN Setup
Create a strong, unique PIN. This serves as your primary security layer. Never share this code with anyone, as it grants full access to your wallet's private keys.
03. Recovery Seed Backup
Copy your 12-word recovery seed phrase exactly as displayed. Write it down on a physical, secure surface and store it in a fireproof safe or a separate location.
Common Questions
How do I update my firmware?
Connect your Trezor to the Trezor Suite app. The software will automatically detect the latest version and initiate a secure update process.
Is my recovery seed safe?
Yes. Your recovery seed is generated offline and stored exclusively within the Trezor device. Never share it with anyone, even for support.
What if I lose my device?
As long as you have your recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on any Trezor device. Your keys remain yours alone.
How do I set up my PIN?
During the setup process, you will be prompted to create a 6-digit PIN. This is your primary security layer for accessing your wallet.
