Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Ledger hardware wallets and the setup process.

What makes Ledger hardware wallets more secure than software wallets?

Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys in a secure element chip that's completely isolated from your computer or phone. This means your keys never touch the internet, protecting them from malware, phishing attacks, and remote hacking attempts. Software wallets, while convenient, store keys on internet-connected devices that are vulnerable to various online threats.

How long does the initial setup process take?

The complete setup process typically takes 15-30 minutes for first-time users. This includes unboxing, installing Ledger Live, initializing your device, setting up your PIN, writing down your recovery phrase, and installing your first cryptocurrency apps. The process is designed to be straightforward with step-by-step guidance.

What happens if I lose my Ledger device?

If you lose your Ledger device, your funds are still safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. You can purchase a new Ledger device (or use any compatible hardware wallet) and restore your accounts using your recovery phrase. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely and never share it with anyone.

Can I use my Ledger with multiple computers and phones?

Yes, you can use your Ledger device with multiple computers and mobile devices. Simply install Ledger Live on each device you want to use. Your accounts and transaction history will sync across all devices. For Nano X and Stax models, you can also connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to mobile devices.

How do I know my Ledger device is genuine?

Always purchase directly from Ledger or authorized resellers. Genuine devices come with tamper-evident packaging and will be verified by Ledger Live during setup. Never buy from third-party marketplaces like eBay or Amazon, as counterfeit devices exist. During setup, Ledger Live will authenticate your device to ensure it's genuine and hasn't been tampered with.
