The platform ensures that users follow authentic, verified steps to safeguard their digital assets against theft or phishing.

Key Setup Steps Include:

  • Unboxing and verifying your Ledger device
  • Downloading and installing Ledger Live
  • Connecting and initializing the device
  • Creating and confirming a PIN
  • Writing down the 24-word recovery phrase
  • Installing crypto apps via Ledger Live
  • Transferring and managing digital assets

Disclaimer

Ledger does not store, recover, or have access to your recovery phrase or PIN. Users are solely responsible for safeguarding their 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only way to recover access to your crypto in case the device is lost or damaged. Ledger will never ask for it—any such request should be treated as a phishing attempt. Failure to store the phrase securely may result in irreversible loss of assets.
