Common Questions
How do I start setting up my Ledger?
Download Ledger Live, connect your device via USB, and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your recovery phrase and set up your PIN code securely.
Is my recovery phrase safe to store digitally?
Never store your recovery phrase on any digital device. The 24-word phrase is your only backup and must be written on the provided recovery sheet and stored in a secure, offline location.
Can I use the same recovery phrase for multiple devices?
Yes, you can clone your recovery phrase onto multiple Ledger devices. This provides redundancy and ensures you always have access to your apps and accounts from secondary hardware.
What happens if my Ledger device is lost or stolen?
Your crypto assets are secured on the blockchain, not the device. You can restore your entire portfolio by entering your 24-word recovery phrase into a new Ledger or compatible BIP39 wallet.
