Your ultimate guide to safely set up Ledger Live and manage your crypto securely.
Start by visiting ledger.com/start, ensuring URL authenticity (look for HTTPS and the padlock icon).
Downloading from the official site ensures you avoid phishing or tampered software.
Install Ledger Live on your device, then open it and click “Get Started”.
Create a strong PIN (4–8 digits) and write down the 24-word recovery phrase precisely on the supplied sheet.
This phrase is your sole backup. Keep it offline and private—Ledger never asks for it online.
In Ledger Live, complete a genuine check to confirm the device is safe:
Navigate to “Manager” in Ledger Live to install apps for your preferred cryptos, then go to “Accounts” to add wallets.
Every transaction requires hardware confirmation—protecting your assets from remote threats.
Remember—Ledger never asks for your recovery phrase. If asked, it's a scam.
