Current Setup Guidance
Older community material may show earlier firmware and seed-generation workflows. Before creating a seed, check the current security status and follow the current Master Seed guide. For an amount whose loss would be materially harmful to you, use the standard Dice Rolls option and a strong, unique BIP-39 passphrase, then test recovery before depositing funds.
