Top Security Practices When Using Ledger Wallet

🧠 Never Share Your 24-Word Recovery Phrase

This phrase is the master key to your wallet. If someone else gets access, they can take your funds. Keep it offline, private, and in a secure location.

🚫 Beware of Fake Ledger Live Apps

Always download Ledger Live from Ledger.com/start. Fake versions on app stores or websites may attempt to steal your recovery phrase or trick you into sending crypto to scam addresses.

🔐 Enable Passphrase for Hidden Wallets

Advanced users can create hidden wallets using a 25th passphrase. This gives you another layer of privacy and protection, especially when storing large balances.
