trust wallet™ | Exchange

Welcome! If you’re new to cryptocurrency and you’re looking to start buying, trading or simply storing crypto securely, this guide is for you. We’ll walk you through how to create an account (sign-up) on Trust Wallet, how to perform the login (“trust wallet Login”), complete verification (KYC), download the app, and set up robust security settings including two-factor authentication. I’ll share clear, beginner-friendly steps along with best practices—so you feel confident as you begin your crypto-journey.

Why choose Trust Wallet?

Step 1: Download the Trust Wallet App

Go to the official website trustwallet.com or your device’s app store (Google Play or Apple App Store) and search for “Trust Wallet”. Be sure the publisher is correct to avoid fake apps. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Install the app and open it.

Step 2: Create Your Trust Wallet Account (“Sign Up”) & Login

When you open the app first time, it will ask you to either create a new wallet or import an existing one. Choose **Create New Wallet**.

Agree to the terms, set a strong password or pass-code if the app asks, and then it will display your **recovery phrase (seed phrase)**—typically 12 or 24 words. This is extremely important: write it down on paper, keep it offline, and never share it with anyone. It is the key to your crypto.

Once that is done, you’ll finish setup and you’ll be logged in automatically. From then on, when you open the app you’ll be at your dashboard/wallet home screen — that’s your “trust wallet Login” step.

Note: Because this is non-custodial, there is no typical “email + password” login like many exchanges. Control of the wallet is tied to private keys / recovery phrase. Losing that means losing access.

Step 3: Optional – KYC Verification

Although Trust Wallet itself is primarily a self-custody wallet, there may be certain features (such as buying crypto via integrated providers) that require identity verification (KYC). Check within the “Buy” or “Sell” section of the app. If prompted:

Submit your photo ID, selfie or other requested documents.
Follow the prompts to complete verification.

This helps unlock more fiat-on-ramp features (buying crypto via card/bank) and may improve your overall experience.

Step 4: Secure Your Account – Security Settings

Now that you’re set up, take time to lock down your wallet. Here’s what to do:

Go to Settings → Security. Set up a strong **PIN code** or **biometric login** (if your device supports it).
Enable **two-factor authentication (2FA)** wherever the app supports it. Even though Trust Wallet is non-custodial, if you link other services, enabling extra layers helps. (Use an authenticator app rather than SMS if possible.)
Write down your recovery phrase and store it offline in a safe place. Do **not** store it on cloud storage, email, or screenshots.
Turn off automatic linking of your wallet to unknown dApps. Review which smart contracts or apps you approve (this reduces phishing risk). :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Keep your app updated—new releases often include security improvements.
Use a hardware wallet (cold storage) for large holdings if you scale beyond beginners’ usage—non-custodial wallets connected to hardware devices are more secure. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Step 5: Start Buying Crypto & Trading

You’re now ready to use your wallet to buy crypto, trade, swap tokens and explore the ecosystem.

In the app, go to **Buy Crypto** or **Swap / DEX**:
