Connect Your Device: Plug your Trezor into your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Ensure you are using a secure connection and avoid public Wi-Fi networks.

Access the Web Wallet: Open your browser and navigate to the Trezor web wallet. Here, you’ll be prompted to configure your device. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Create a PIN: During the setup process, you’ll be asked to create a PIN for your device. Choose a PIN that is unique and not easily guessable to enhance your wallet’s security.
Backup Your Recovery Seed: After setting up your PIN, you will receive a recovery seed. Write this down on the provided card and store it in a safe location. This seed is essential for recovering your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
