🚨 Security Warnings: Stay Vigilant
‼️ NEVER share your 24-word recovery phrase. Ledger will NEVER ask you for it.
Phishing scams are increasing. Always ensure you’re on https://ledger.com and not a lookalike domain. Bookmark official links and never click on unsolicited messages from strangers.
✋ If someone asks you to "verify your wallet" online — it’s a scam.
💼 Why Use a Hardware Wallet for Crypto?
Your crypto is only as safe as your key management. Software wallets are convenient but vulnerable to malware, remote access, and device theft. Ledger hardware wallets remove these risks.
When you store your keys offline, you are immune to most online threats — including:
- 💻 Keyloggers
- 🕵️ Remote Desktop Attacks
- 📧 Email Phishing
- 📲 SIM Swapping
Owning your crypto means controlling your keys. Ledger gives you that control.
📦 How to Restore a Ledger from Recovery Phrase
- Turn on your Ledger device and select "Restore from recovery phrase".
- Enter your PIN and then carefully input your 24-word phrase.
- Install the apps you need using Ledger Live.
- Your assets will automatically appear once the correct wallets are synced.
💡 Tip: Always double-check each word for spelling during restore. One incorrect word will invalidate your wallet.
