Can you describe the process of setting up a new Trezor hardware wallet using the Trezor app?

As of my last update, the Trezor app primarily focuses on providing a companion interface for managing Trezor hardware wallets rather than directly setting them up. However, I can guide you through the general process of setting up a new Trezor hardware wallet, which typically involves the following steps:

1. Download and Install Trezor App: Begin by downloading and installing the Trezor app on your computer or mobile device from the official Trezor website or app store.

2. Connect Trezor Device: Connect your new Trezor hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Ensure that the connection is secure and stable.

3. Access Trezor Website or App: Open the Trezor website in your web browser or launch the Trezor app on your device. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the setup process.

4. Choose Setup Option: Select the option to set up a new Trezor device. You may be directed to a specific URL such as trezor.io/start or prompted to follow setup instructions within the app.

5. Initialize Device: Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your Trezor device. This typically involves choosing a device name, setting a PIN code, and generating a recovery seed.

6. Set Device Name: Choose a name for your Trezor device. This name is for your reference only and helps you identify the device if you have multiple Trezor wallets.

7. Set PIN Code: Set up a PIN code for your Trezor device. The PIN code acts as the first line of defense against unauthorized access. Follow the instructions to choose a PIN code and confirm it.

8. Generate Recovery Seed: Your Trezor device will then generate a recovery seed, which is a series of randomly generated words. Write down these words in the order presented on the device and keep them in a safe and secure location. This recovery seed is crucial for recovering access to your wallet in case the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

9. Confirm Recovery Seed: After writing down the recovery seed, your Trezor device will prompt you to confirm it by entering certain words from the seed. Follow the instructions to verify the recovery seed on your device.

10. Finalize Setup: Once you have completed the setup process and confirmed your recovery seed, your Trezor device will be initialized and ready to use. You can now disconnect it from your computer or device and begin securely storing your cryptocurrency assets.

It's important to follow each step carefully and securely store your recovery seed, as it is the key to accessing your funds in the event of an emergency. Additionally, ensure that you keep your PIN code confidential and do not share it with anyone.
