Welcome to Ledger, your gateway to securing your cryptocurrency. At Ledger, we believe in empowering you to take full control of your digital assets. The first step towards achieving this is through the safe setup of your Ledger hardware wallet.
Ledger offers a secure environment to store your cryptocurrency and ensures your assets remain safe from hacks and unauthorized access. By starting your device correctly, you ensure the highest level of protection, making your cryptocurrency investment more secure and manageable.
To get started with your Ledger device, you need to follow a few easy steps. This includes setting up your device, securing your recovery phrase, and connecting it to the Ledger Live application. In just a few minutes, you’ll be ready to securely store and manage your assets.
Start by carefully unboxing your Ledger device. Make sure to check that all components are included: the device, a USB cable, and a recovery sheet. These components are essential for the device's setup process.
To set up your Ledger device, power it on by connecting it to your computer or mobile device. You will then be prompted to choose a PIN code. This PIN code will be used to access your device whenever you need to make transactions or check your balance.
One of the most important steps in setting up your Ledger device is writing down your recovery phrase. This phrase consists of 24 words that will allow you to restore your wallet in case your device is lost or stolen. Keep it secure and do not share it with anyone.
Ledger Live is a software application that allows you to manage your Ledger device. By installing it on your computer or smartphone, you can access and manage your cryptocurrency securely. Ledger Live lets you send and receive cryptocurrency, check your balance, and perform updates for your device.
Your Ledger device is equipped with several advanced security features, including a secure element (SE) chip, which stores your private keys. This SE chip is isolated from the rest of the device’s components, ensuring that no one can access your keys even if they have physical access to your device.
Your private keys never leave the device. Even during transactions, the device signs the transaction internally without exposing any sensitive information to external sources. This makes Ledger devices the most secure option for managing your cryptocurrency.
If you ever lose your Ledger device, you can recover your cryptocurrency using the recovery phrase you wrote down during setup. Simply enter the 24-word recovery phrase into a new Ledger device, and your assets will be restored.
To reset your Ledger device, navigate to the settings menu on the device and choose the option to reset. You will need to confirm your choice by entering your PIN code. Please note that resetting the device will delete all data stored on it, but you can restore it using your recovery phrase.
If you lose your recovery phrase, unfortunately, there is no way to recover the funds stored in your Ledger device. It is crucial to store your recovery phrase in a secure location. We recommend using a secure offline storage method such as a fireproof safe.
