Security Best Practices
Ledger.com/Start emphasizes rigorous, formalized steps to reduce risk: always verify official firmware updates, maintain an air-gapped backup of your recovery phrase, avoid entering your recovery phrase into any device connected to the internet, and use multi-factor protections where supported. These practices minimize the attack surface and align with industry-standard custody procedures.
Operational Guidance
- Verify device authenticity prior to initialization.
- Create a strong, unique PIN and change it periodically.
- Store your recovery phrase in a physical, fire-resistant location.
- Use Ledger Live only from official sources and keep firmware up to date.
