A QUICK SECURITY CHECK

Before you begin

Good habits keep you in control.

Will Ledger ever ask for my recovery phrase?

No. Never enter your 24-word recovery phrase into Ledger Live, a website, a chat, or share it with anyone. Your recovery phrase belongs offline and should only ever be used on your hardware wallet when you intentionally restore it.

Do I need a Ledger device to use Ledger Live?

What if my device is not detected?
