Security Best Practices

Follow these essential security practices to keep your accounts and credentials safe.

Use a Strong PIN

Set a unique PIN code (8 digits recommended) on your device. Never share it with anyone.

Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it offline in a secure location. Never digitize it.

Verify Transactions

Always verify transaction details on your device screen before approving. Never blindly sign.

Keep Firmware Updated

Regularly update your device firmware through Ledger Security Manager to get the latest security patches.

Beware of Phishing

Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase. Always verify you're on the official site.
