Welcome to the world of true digital ownership. Follow these steps to set up your Ledger device.
Go to Ledger.com/startSecurity is a journey, not a destination. Begin by mastering these crucial initial steps.
Install the official Ledger Live app on your desktop or mobile device. This is your portal for managing your crypto assets. **Verify the source**—always use the official Ledger website.
Connect your Ledger device via USB. Follow the on-screen instructions to choose a strong **PIN code**. Never share this PIN with anyone, including Ledger support.
This is the single most important step. Your **24-word recovery phrase** is your only backup. Write it down *offline* and store it in a secure, private location. **Do NOT photograph it.**
The device will ask you to verify your written recovery phrase. This confirms you have recorded it correctly and that you can recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged.
The integrity of your assets rests entirely on the secrecy of your 24-word recovery phrase. Treat it as the master key to your entire financial life.
Once set up, explore the Manager tab in Ledger Live to install coin applications and begin managing your portfolio.
