Here’s a clear step-by-step guide for using trezor.io/start to set up your Trezor hardware wallet:

• Write these words in order, by hand, on the provided recovery sheet.
• Never store your seed phrase digitally or online.

✅ Step 8: Confirm Your Recovery Seed

• Trezor Suite will ask you to confirm a few of your recovery words.
• This ensures you wrote them down correctly.
