Your Path to Crypto Security

Follow these simple steps to set up your Ledger device and start protecting your digital wealth in minutes.

01

Unbox Your Ledger Device

Open your Ledger package and verify all components are included: your Ledger device, USB cable, recovery sheets, and getting started guide. Check the authenticity seal to ensure your device hasn't been tampered with. Ledger devices come directly from the manufacturer with security seals intact.

02

Download Ledger Live

Visit our official website and download Ledger Live for your operating system - available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. This is your gateway to managing all your crypto assets. The app is free, regularly updated, and designed with an intuitive interface for beginners and experts alike.

03

Initialize Your Device

Connect your Ledger to your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your device as new. Choose a secure 4-8 digit PIN code that only you know. This PIN protects your device from unauthorized access. Never share your PIN with anyone, including Ledger support staff.

04

Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Your device will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. Write this down carefully on the provided recovery sheet in the exact order shown. This phrase is the master key to all your crypto assets. Store it in a secure, offline location like a safe. Never take photos, screenshots, or store it digitally. This phrase allows you to recover your assets if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
