Essential Security Practices

At Ledger, security begins the moment you unbox your device. Always verify that your device's packaging has intact security seals before use. During setup, you'll generate a 24-word recovery phrase—this is your master key to accessing your cryptocurrencies. Write it down on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure location, never digitally. This phrase should never be shared with anyone, including Ledger support staff.

Remember, your Ledger device is designed to keep your private keys isolated from internet-connected devices, providing an air-gapped security solution. Regularly update your device firmware through Ledger Live to ensure you have the latest security enhancements and features.
