This is the most important stage.
Trezor generates a 12-word or 24-word seed phrase that acts as the master key to your crypto.
🟥 DO:
Write words on paper or metal
Store in a safe location
Keep multiple offline copies

Photograph the seed
Store it in email/cloud apps
Share it with anyone at any time
