Initialize Your Device - Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. This process will generate your recovery seed — a crucial step for wallet backup.
Set a Strong PIN Code - Your device will ask you to set a PIN, protecting unauthorized access. Choose a unique combination, and never share it with anyone.
