How to Set Up a Wipe Code on TREZOR Model T for Enhanced Crypto Security

Understanding the TREZOR Model T Wipe Code

• 💡 The wipe code on a TREZOR Model T is a security feature that allows you to self-destruct the device, erasing all data.
• ⚠️ It must be different from your regular PIN, as it's entered in place of the PIN to initiate the data erasure.

Prerequisites for Enabling Wipe Code

• 📌 Before activating the wipe code, it is crucial to ensure your backup recovery phrase is stored securely.
• 🔍 You can verify the correctness of your backup phrase by using the 'check' function in Trezor Suite and re-entering the phrase on the TREZOR device itself.

Steps to Enable Wipe Code Protection

• ⚙️ Navigate to Settings in Trezor Suite, then go to the Device section.
• 🔐 To enable wipe code protection, you will need to continue the process on your TREZOR device.
• 🔑 Enter your current PIN to unlock the device and proceed with the verification.
• ✍️ Next, enter your chosen wipe code (e.g., '000' as shown, but any code different from your PIN will work).
• ✅ Once the wipe code is set and confirmed, the wipe code protection is complete.
