Write down these words in the correct order and keep them in a safe place. Do not share this seed with anyone and make sure to store it securely.
Confirm Your Recovery Seed: After writing down your recovery seed, you'll be asked to confirm it by entering some of the words in a specific order. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this step.
Name Your Device: Optionally, you can give your Trezor device a name for easier identification.
