Step-by-step guide to securely get started with your Ledger Wallet

1. Unboxing and Initial Setup

When you receive your Ledger device, ensure the packaging is sealed. Open the box carefully, and confirm that all components are present, including your Ledger hardware, USB cable, and recovery sheet.

Next, plug in your device to your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to begin the setup. You will create a secure PIN code and generate your recovery phrase, which is critical for wallet recovery.

Always store your recovery phrase offline in a safe location. Never share it online or with anyone you don’t trust.

2. Security Best Practices

Ledger devices are designed with top-notch security, but user precautions matter:

Always verify addresses on the device screen before confirming transactions.
Keep your recovery phrase offline and secure.
Use Ledger Live’s password and authentication options for extra protection.

These steps prevent phishing and unauthorized access. Remember, Ledger support will never ask for your PIN or recovery phrase.

3. Installing and Using Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official application to manage your crypto assets. Download it from Ledger.com/Live.

Once installed, connect your Ledger device. Ledger Live allows you to:

Check balances and portfolio overview

Always keep Ledger Live updated to access new features and security improvements.
