This video provides a tutorial on how to correctly set up and enter a PIN on the Trezor Model One hardware wallet. It specifically focuses on the unique “Blind Matrix” feature, which is designed to prevent keyloggers or onlookers from stealing your PIN.
Key Takeaways:
- The Blind Matrix: The video explains that the Trezor device displays a shuffled 3x3 grid of numbers (1-9), while your computer screen displays a blank 3x3 grid with dots.
- How to Enter: You must look at the number positions on your physical Trezor device and click the corresponding position on the blank grid on your computer screen.
- Security: Because the layout of numbers on the Trezor changes every time you connect, clicking the blank tiles on your computer reveals nothing about your actual PIN to malware or hackers monitoring your screen.
- Setup Process: It walks through the initial PIN creation, confirming the PIN, and offers tips for keeping it secure.
