YOUR SECURITY, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
One phrase. Keep it
completely private.
Your Secret Recovery Phrase is the master key to your crypto. Ledger will never ask you to share it—not by phone, email, message, or website. Keep it offline, never photograph it, and only enter it directly on your Ledger device when prompted during setup.

THE FIRST CHAPTERWelcome to Ledger. This is the beginning of a more personal relationship with your digital assets: one where you hold the keys and make the decisions. Your Ledger device is built to keep your private keys offline, while Ledger Wallet helps you manage accounts, discover supported assets, and connect to new opportunities.
Getting started does not need to feel complicated. Take a moment to download Ledger Wallet from an official source, connect your device, and follow the instructions on its screen. During setup, you will create a PIN and receive a Secret Recovery Phrase. That phrase is yours alone. Write it down and store it somewhere private and secure. Never share it with anyone, even someone claiming to be Ledger Support.
As you explore, begin with what you understand. Confirm addresses and transaction details on your Ledger screen before approving anything. Keep your device and recovery phrase safe, install updates only through official channels, and remember that no one can reverse a transaction you authorize. You are in charge—and that is the point.
There is no rush to do everything at once. Use this guide whenever you need a refresher, explore the learning resources, and build confidence one step at a time. Welcome to self-custody, and welcome to a world where ownership starts with you.
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
A few helpful reminders to keep close as you begin.
What is my Secret Recovery Phrase?
It is the master key that can restore access to your crypto accounts. Keep it offline and private. Anyone who has it can access your assets, so never share it with anyone.
Will Ledger ever ask me for my recovery phrase?
No. Ledger Support will never ask you to reveal your Secret Recovery Phrase. Never enter it on a website, app, or computer. Only enter it directly on your Ledger device when restoring it.
Where should I download Ledger Wallet?
Get Ledger Wallet only from ledger.com or the official app store linked from Ledger.com. Avoid search ads, unsolicited links, and downloads from unofficial websites.
How do I know a transaction is safe to approve?
Check the complete transaction details on your Ledger device screen—not just on your computer or phone. Approve only when the address and amount match what you expect.
