Hardware wallets are the most secure storage option for private keys - the unique identifiers that are needed to verify transactions on the blockchain. Readers are given a step-by-step guide to getting started with the BitBox02. While it supports multiple currencies, the piece focuses on setting it up for Bitcoin storage.
The BitBox02 is made by the acclaimed Zurich, Switzerland-based manufacturer Shift Crypto. The device is the company's second-generation wallet, following on from the original Digital Bitbox (BitBox01) which was released in 2015. The latest version was launched in 2019 and has become a popular choice for security-conscious crypto users.
When unboxing the wallet, the guide recommends checking that the tamper-proof seal has not been broken before turning on the device and downloading the companion BitBoxApp. This application offers compatibility with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Once downloaded, on-screen prompts direct users to pair the wallet with the app.
At this point, the article explains, users have the option to create a new wallet or restore an old one from a backup. The device will automatically generate a four-digit backup password for recovery seeds which should be recorded on the sheets provided. Users are also prompted to set a PIN code that will be used to access the wallet. At this point, they will be directed to insert an SD card to back up the device.
The BitBox02 will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This should be carefully recorded and backed up in physical form (on the provided sheets) and kept in a secure location. This phrase allows access to funds if a wallet has been lost, stolen, or compromised in some way. Once a user has confirmed the recovery seed, the wallet is ready to send and receive Bitcoin.
The article states, “The BitBox02 is a great option for individuals looking for a dependable cold storage solution because it has strong security features and is simple to use.”
