How to Set a Wipe Code (Self-Destruct Code) on TREZOR Safe 5

Understanding the TREZOR Safe 5 Wipe Code

• 💡 The wipe code, also known as a self-destruct code, is an advanced security feature for the TREZOR Safe 5.
• 🎯 Unlike your standard PIN, entering the wipe code will erase all data from the device, effectively resetting it.
• 🔑 This feature is designed to protect your crypto assets if someone attempts to access your wallet without authorization.

Setting Up the Wipe Code

• ⚙️ To set the wipe code, navigate to Settings within the TREZOR Suite application.
• ⚠️ Within settings, locate the Device section and find the Danger Area.
• 🛠️ Select the Setup Wipe Code option to begin the process.
• 🔒 You will first need to enter your main PIN to verify your identity before proceeding.

Configuring and Using the Wipe Code

• ✍️ After verifying your main PIN, you will be prompted to type in your desired wipe code.
• 🔢 The video example uses four zeros, but you can choose any code you prefer, ensuring it's different from your main PIN.
• ✅ Once set, you can lock the device. If you then attempt to unlock it using the wipe code, the device will automatically erase itself.
• ⚠️ Caution: Do not enter the wipe code unless you intend to permanently delete all data from the TREZOR Safe 5.
