Step 3: Create a New Wallet

In Trezor Suite, select "Create New Wallet". The device will generate your private keys internally, never exposing them online. After wallet creation, your device will display a recovery seed, which is vital for backup and recovery.

Step 4: Record Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the master key to restoring your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Write each word exactly as displayed, in order. Never store your seed digitally or online. Keep it offline and secure. Consider creating a secondary backup in a separate secure location.
