Recover an existing wallet if you already have a recovery seed from a previous Trezor.
Your Trezor device will generate a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words down in order and keep them offline in a safe place. Never take photos or store them digitally. This seed is your only backup to restore your Trezor Wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Set a secure PIN on your device. This adds an extra layer of protection to your Trezor Hardware Wallet against unauthorized access.
