Hardware PIN – Enter on your Ledger device to unlock. App Password – Optional password for the Ledger Wallet™ app. Biometrics – Use Face ID/Fingerprint on mobile for quick access. Pro Tip: Never enter your 24-word recovery phrase into any app or website – only use it on the physical Ledger device during setup or recovery!

Security Best Practices for Ledger Wallet™ 🛡️

Always download from official ledger.com – Verify signatures! Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone, including Ledger support. Store recovery phrase offline (metal backup recommended) 📝 Keep firmware and app updated for latest security patches 🔄 Use strong PIN (8 digits) and enable passphrase for hidden wallets. Avoid phishing – Ledger will never ask for your seed phrase. Use Ledger Recover (optional) for encrypted backup if desired.
