Store your 24-word recovery seed offline in a secure location, such as a safe or a safety deposit box. Avoid storing it digitally or sharing it with anyone.

Always verify the URL before entering any information on websites that interact with your Trezor wallet. Ensure you are on the official Trezor website or trusted dApps.
. Never Share Your Seed Phrase or PIN
