Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger.com website. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone, and be wary of phishing attempts. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase via email, social media, or any other communication method.
Only download Ledger Live from official channels. The legitimate Ledger Live application is available exclusively through Ledger.com, official app stores (Google Play, Apple App Store), and verified distribution platforms. Always check the URL carefully and look for HTTPS encryption.
Your Ledger hardware wallet is the cornerstone of your security. The device generates and stores your private keys in a secure element chip, making it virtually impossible for malware or hackers to extract your sensitive information. The PIN you create during setup adds an additional layer of protection.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency assets. This phrase can restore access to your funds if your hardware wallet is lost, stolen, or damaged. It's crucial to understand that anyone with access to this phrase can control your entire cryptocurrency portfolio.
Cybercriminals often create fake websites that mimic Ledger's official pages to steal your credentials and recovery phrases. These sophisticated scams can be difficult to detect but following verification protocols will keep you safe.
Red Flags:
Scammers impersonate Ledger support staff through various communication channels. Remember that legitimate Ledger support will never ask for sensitive information like your recovery phrase, private keys, or PIN codes.
