To set up passphrase encryption for added security on your Trezor hardware wallet, follow these steps:
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the USB cable provided.
Go to the Trezor website and navigate to the "Start" section. You can directly access it through this link: Trezor Start
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your Trezor device if you haven't already done so. This typically involves creating a new wallet or restoring from a backup.
Once your Trezor device is initialized and connected, navigate to the passphrase settings. This is typically found in the advanced settings section of the Trezor interface.
Enable passphrase encryption by selecting the option to set up a passphrase.
Follow the prompts on the Trezor device's screen to enter and confirm your passphrase. Make sure to choose a strong passphrase that is memorable to you but difficult for others to guess.
Once you've set up passphrase encryption, your Trezor device will prompt you to enter your passphrase each time you connect it to your computer or mobile device.
Remember to keep your passphrase secure and never share it with anyone. Without the passphrase, it will be impossible to access your funds, even if someone gains physical access to your Trezor device.
To disable passphrase encryption or change your passphrase, you can do so through the Trezor device's settings interface. Follow the same steps to navigate to the passphrase settings and make the desired changes.
By using passphrase encryption, you add an extra layer of security to your Trezor hardware wallet, protecting your funds in case your device is lost, stolen, or compromised. Make sure to choose a strong passphrase and keep it safe.
