Security best practices

Ledger Live App® relies on the security of your Ledger device and the secrecy of your recovery phrase. Follow these best practices:

Only download Ledger Live App® from ledger.com.
Never enter your 24‑word recovery phrase into any app, website, or form — keep it offline and secure.
Set a strong device PIN and enable required firmware updates from the Manager tab.
Beware of phishing: verify URLs, avoid unsolicited links, and cross-check messages with Ledger Support.
