Create a PIN
Set a secure PIN on your Trezor device. All input is randomized to prevent keyloggers from capturing your PIN.

Write down your 12/24-word recovery phrase on paper or a metal backup. Never store it digitally or online.
Step 4
Pair with Trezor Suite
Connect your hardware wallet to Trezor Suite and confirm device pairing. Transactions require on-device confirmation for security.
