Ledger.com/start® – Official Setup Guide for Ledger™ Devices
What Is Ledger.com/start®?
Ledger.com/start® is the official onboarding page provided by Ledger™ to help users safely set up their hardware wallets. This page guides you through the process of initializing your device, installing the Ledger Live™ app, and securing your cryptocurrency assets. It is the recommended starting point for anyone who has purchased a Ledger™ hardware wallet, such as the Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X. Using the official setup page ensures that you avoid phishing sites and follow verified instructions directly from the manufacturer.
Downloading Ledger Live™
The first step on Ledger.com/start® is downloading the Ledger Live™ application. This is the official software used to manage your crypto accounts, install apps, and send or receive digital assets. Ledger Live™ is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. Always download the application from the official Ledger.com/start® page to avoid malicious software.
Setting Up Your Ledger™ Device
Once Ledger Live™ is installed, connect your Ledger™ hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device. Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize the device. You will be asked to create a PIN code, which protects the device from unauthorized access. After setting the PIN, the device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to your crypto assets and must be written down and stored securely offline.
Securing Your Recovery Phrase
Your recovery phrase is the most important part of the setup process. Anyone with access to this phrase can control your funds. Never share it online, store it digitally, or take screenshots. Ledger™ recommends writing the phrase on the provided recovery sheet and storing it in a safe location.
Installing Crypto Apps
After securing your recovery phrase, you can install cryptocurrency apps through Ledger Live™. Each app allows you to manage a specific cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. You can install multiple apps depending on the storage capacity of your device.
Final Steps and Security Tips
Once the setup is complete, you can create accounts in Ledger Live™ and begin sending or receiving crypto. Always keep your device firmware and Ledger Live™ updated. Use only official sources like Ledger.com/start® for downloads and support to maintain maximum security.
By following the steps on Ledger.com/start®, you ensure a safe and reliable setup experience for your Ledger™ hardware wallet.
