Ledger Login Onboarding

Step-by-step onboarding for safe access

Begin by sourcing your Ledger device from a reputable vendor or official channel. On first boot, follow on-screen prompts to generate the recovery seed directly on the device — avoid using any computer to generate or copy the seed. Choose a PIN that balances memorability and strength, avoiding common or trivial sequences.

Record and protect your recovery seed

Immediately write the recovery seed on the provided card or a purpose-built metal backup. Do not photograph the seed or type it into a computer. Store the backup in a physically secure location and consider a secondary redundant copy stored in a separate secure facility if your holdings require it.

Daily sign-in habits

When you connect the Ledger for daily use, verify the device asks for your PIN and that the device screen shows the app or action you expect. Adopt a habit of checking every transaction detail on the device display. For routine balance checks, prefer read-only views provided by wallet software without exposing private keys.

Managing risk with advanced features

Consider enabling the passphrase feature for accounts requiring an additional security layer. For organizational use, evaluate multi-signature arrangements that require multiple hardware devices for withdrawal approvals. These patterns reduce single-point-of-failure exposure.

Support and recovery rehearsal

Document your recovery workflow and rehearse the steps on a test account or device. Knowing exactly how to recover access reduces panic and the likelihood of error if a device is lost or damaged. Keep recovery plans accessible to authorized executors under legal or corporate procedures if required.
