Security best practices

Ledger Live is designed to work in tandem with your Ledger hardware. Never reveal your 24-word recovery phrase to anyone and avoid storing it digitally. Only download Ledger Live from the official site and verify checksums or signatures where provided. Use unique PINs, enable passphrase features for additional hidden wallets, and keep firmware updated via Ledger Live. If you use Ledger on shared or corporate machines, consider temporary session practices and always verify addresses on the physical device screen.
