Security Tips

Keep Your Recovery Phrase Safe

Your recovery phrase is your ultimate key to your crypto assets. Store it securely offline, never share it online, and avoid taking photos of it.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

For additional security, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Ledger Live account. This adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Beware of Phishing

Always ensure you are on the official Ledger website and avoid clicking on suspicious links or emails claiming to be Ledger support.
