What you should know about Bitbox02 setup
- MicroSD Backup: Unlike most wallets, BitBox02 automatically backs up your recovery phrase to the included microSD card during setup, making it beginner-friendly but requiring card safety.
- In-App Guidance: The BitBoxApp (desktop or Android) provides a secure, step-by-step walkthrough; always download it directly from the official swiss-made bitbox.swiss site.
- Device Verification: Upon plugging in, the app verifies the device authenticity to ensure it hasn't been tampered with before you generate your private keys.
- Touch Sensors: You interact with the device using invisible touch sensors on its edges to enter passwords and confirm transactions, keeping the screen clean for visibility.
