Security principles
Convenience should never replace verification.
Your wallet security also depends on how you use your device, software, and recovery information. Keep sensitive credentials private and use official resources.
Check before signing
Review transaction details carefully before approving them through your compatible hardware wallet.
Keep recovery information private
Never reveal your recovery phrase, PIN, or other sensitive wallet credentials to websites, messages, or people requesting them.
Use official software sources
When installing or updating wallet software, verify that you are using official Ledger resources and current compatibility guidance.
