For users who want to enable advanced security features, such as passphrase protection, Trezor.io/start® provides guidance on how to set these up securely. These features add an extra layer of security, ensuring that even if the recovery seed is compromised, the funds remain protected.

Integration with Trezor Suite for Ongoing Security

After initialization, Trezor.io/start® seamlessly integrates with Trezor Suite, which offers ongoing security features such as transaction verification and two-factor authentication (2FA). This integration ensures that your wallet remains secure throughout its use.
