Beginner's guide

  1. Purchase from the official store or an authorized reseller only.
  2. Set up a strong PIN during device initialization.
  3. Write down your recovery phrase on paper and store it offline — never share it.
  4. Keep firmware up to date by following official instructions.
  5. Use official Ledger Live or recommended third-party integrations safely.
