A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER

Security starts with you.

Your Ledger is designed to give you control. These simple habits help you keep it that way.

01 / KEEP IT PRIVATE

Never share your recovery phrase

Ledger Support will never ask for it. Don’t type it into a website, app, or computer—even to “verify” your wallet.

↗02 / CHECK THE SOURCE

Download from Ledger.com

Access Ledger Wallet from ledger.com/start. Be careful with search ads and messages that create urgency.

03 / TRUST YOUR DEVICE

Verify on the Ledger screen

Check addresses and transaction details on your hardware wallet display before approving.
