Simple Setup Process

Navigate to Ledger.com/Start and download the latest version of Ledger Live.
Install Ledger Live and open it on your computer or mobile device.
Connect your Ledger device and choose to initialize it as a new wallet or restore from a recovery phrase.
Set a strong PIN directly on your device to prevent unauthorized access.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase carefully — this is your master key. Store it offline and never share it digitally.
Verify your recovery phrase on the device when prompted.
Add your preferred cryptocurrency accounts via Ledger Live.
Test a small transaction to confirm everything is set up correctly.

Security Essentials for Your Ledger Wallet

Always verify you downloaded Ledger Live from the official website.
Never disclose your recovery phrase to anyone — not even Ledger support.
Keep your recovery phrase offline in a safe place (consider a metal backup for extra protection).
Use a strong, unique PIN and consider enabling the passphrase feature for added security.
Confirm all transaction details directly on your Ledger device’s screen before approving.
Update your device firmware and Ledger Live software regularly.
Beware of phishing emails or fake websites—always check URLs carefully.

      Pro Tip: Ledger devices never ask for your recovery phrase via email or online chat. If anyone requests it, it’s a scam.
