Security Tips:

  • PIN Code: Choose a PIN code that is strong and secure. Avoid using easily guessable numbers or sequences.

  • Recovery Phrase: Store your recovery phrase offline in a safe place. Do not share it with anyone and never enter it into any digital device unless during the actual recovery process.

  • Firmware Updates: Regularly update the firmware of your Ledger device through Ledger Live to ensure you have the latest security features.
