Security Features and Best Practices
. Using a Secure PIN and Recovery Seed
Your Ledger device is protected by a PIN code. Choose a strong, unique PIN and keep it confidential. Additionally, your recovery seed is crucial for restoring access to your wallet. Write down your 24-word seed phrase on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure location.
. Enabling Passphrase Protection
For an added layer of security, enable the passphrase protection feature on your Ledger device. This allows you to create a custom passphrase in addition to your recovery seed, providing extra security in case your seed phrase is compromised.
. Regular Firmware Updates
Keep your Ledger device's firmware up to date. Firmware updates often include security enhancements and new features. Ledger Live will notify you when a firmware update is available. Follow the instructions to ensure your device is always running the latest version.
. Beware of Phishing Attacks
Always be cautious of phishing attempts. Ensure you are accessing the official Ledger website and using the legitimate Ledger Live application. Never share your PIN, recovery seed, or passphrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for this information.
