Prepare Your Device
Unlock Your Device
Enter your 4-digit PIN to unlock the Ledger device. This is the first step in securing your digital assets.
Verify Identity
Confirm your identity by scanning the QR code on your Ledger device. This ensures you are accessing your own hardware.
Connect Securely
Pair your Ledger device with the Ledger Live app on your mobile device to begin the secure setup process.
Following the Nodes
Adhere strictly to Ledger's official setup guidance to ensure your hardware wallet is configured securely. By following the official nodes and protocols, you maintain the integrity of your cryptographic keys and protect your digital assets from potential compromise.
Security Awareness
Phishing Links
Never click on links in emails or messages from unknown senders. Scammers often use fake Ledger links to steal your recovery phrase.
Malware Attacks
Install only official Ledger software. Malicious apps can access your private keys and drain your wallet without your knowledge.
Recovery Phrase Theft
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Scammers use social engineering to trick you into revealing your private keys.
Unverified Apps
Only use Ledger's official companion app. Third-party apps can bypass your hardware security and steal your funds.
The Golden Rule
Never share your 24 words. Your recovery phrase is the only way to access your funds. Treat it like a physical key to your vault.
