About Ledger Hardware Wallets
Ledger devices provide industry-leading security for managing your cryptocurrency and digital assets.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Unbox and verify authenticity. Always purchase from the official Ledger store or authorized resellers. Check for the Ledger authenticity seal and make sure the box hasn’t been tampered with.
- Power on and initialize your device. Connect your Ledger to your computer or mobile device. Follow on-screen instructions to set a PIN and generate your unique recovery phrase.
- Secure your recovery phrase. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet. Store it offline in a safe, secure, and private location. Never take digital photos or share it online.
- Install Ledger Live. Download the Ledger Live app from the official Ledger website. Never use unofficial sources. Once installed, you can manage your crypto portfolio easily and safely.

Security Best Practices
Ledger is designed to protect you, but true security depends on good habits. Keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it with anyone — even Ledger support. Regularly update your firmware and Ledger Live app to the latest versions. Always double-check URLs to avoid phishing attempts.
