Watch Trezor set up a Safe 3: seal check, firmware, backup and PIN

What this demonstrates

Trezor's own walkthrough of a new Safe 3, from checking the holographic seal to installing firmware in Trezor Suite, writing down the backup words and choosing a PIN.

• The device ships without firmware. After you confirm the box and the holographic seal over the USB port were intact, Trezor Suite offers the official firmware and then checks that the device is genuine (about 1:50 to 2:30).
• The backup comes before the PIN. The video offers a regular or Shamir backup, then reveals 12 words one at a time on the device to copy onto the paper seed card, with a warning never to make a digital copy (about 2:41 to 3:40).
• A PIN is set after the backup, and a passphrase is offered as an optional extra that creates a separate hidden wallet (about 3:52 to 4:20).
• To receive coins, Suite generates a fresh address and you check it on the Trezor's own screen, which the video treats as the screen to trust (about 4:37 to 5:09).

Apply it to your task

1. Buy from Trezor or an authorised reseller and check the seal before plugging in.
2. Have the paper seed card and a pen ready before the backup step.
3. Compare every receive address on the device screen before sharing it.
