CRITICAL SECURITY NOTE: You should *only* connect your Trezor device using the official Trezor Suite application or website. Never enter your recovery seed on any website or software.

Step 1: The Official Connection Method

The **most secure way** to manage your Trezor is via the official **Trezor Suite** desktop application or web application. This ensures a verified, secure environment.

Step 2: Understanding PIN & Passphrase

Your Trezor device is protected by two primary layers:

**PIN:** Entered directly on the physical device screen to unlock it.
**Passphrase (Optional/Advanced):** An additional layer of security, entered via your computer, creating a hidden wallet.

Step 3: Recovery Seed (The Ultimate Backup)

Your 12, 18, or 24-word **Recovery Seed** is the master key to your funds. **Keep it offline and private.**

NEVER:

Type your seed on a computer keyboard.
Store your seed digitally (photo, cloud, email).
Share your seed with anyone, even "Trezor Support."

In-Depth Security Features

The Trezor architecture is designed to isolate private keys from vulnerable software environments. Your private keys **never leave the device**, ensuring maximum protection against malware and remote attacks.
