Connecting your BitBox02 to the NuFi web wallet allows you to manage your crypto assets with an easy-to-use interface while keeping your keys secure on your hardware wallet.

This guide will walk you through setting up the NuFi wallet and connecting your BitBox02.


Part 1: Initial wallet setup

  1. In the Choose a name for this wallet window, enter a name (e.g., "My BitBox") and accept the terms. Click Continue.
  1.  When prompted to "Protect your wallet with a password," create a strong password and click Continue. This password protects access to the web wallet interface.
  1. The next window will ask, Create NuFi wallet recovery phrase?. Since you are using a BitBox02, your recovery phrase is already secured on your device. Select Continue without recovery phrase.

Important Security Information

  • Transaction signing: All transactions must be confirmed on your BitBox02. You cannot move funds without physically confirming the transaction on your hardware wallet.
  • Seed Phrase: Your 24-word recovery phrase (seed) always remains securely stored on your BitBox02. Never enter it into the NuFi wallet or any other website or application.
