Setting a PIN for Extra Security

After creating your wallet, you will be asked to set a PIN code. This PIN protects your device from unauthorized physical access. Each time you connect your Trezor, you must enter the PIN directly on the device or through the secure interface.

Using a strong, unique PIN adds another essential layer of protection, ensuring that even if someone gains access to your device, they cannot access your funds.

Managing Cryptocurrencies with Trezor

Once setup is complete, you can begin managing your cryptocurrencies. Trezor supports a wide range of digital assets, allowing users to store, send, receive, and monitor their portfolio securely.

Transactions must be physically confirmed on the Trezor device, preventing unauthorized transfers. This confirmation step ensures that malware on your computer cannot alter transaction details without your knowledge.

Keeping Your Trezor Wallet Secure

Security does not end after setup. Following best practices will help maintain the safety of your assets long term.

Important tips include:

• Always verify transaction details on the device screen

• Keep firmware updated

• Never share your recovery seed

• Avoid using public or untrusted computers

• Be cautious of phishing emails and fake websites
