YOUR RECOVERY PHRASE IS THE KEY
Some things should stay yours alone.
Your recovery phrase is the backup to your wallet. Anyone who gets it may be able to access your assets, so treat it like the most important key you own. Ledger will never ask you to share it online or enter it into a website, chat, or support form.
- 01 Write it down and store it offline in a private, secure place.
- 02 Never photograph it, email it, or save it in cloud storage.
- 03 Enter it only on your Ledger device when the official setup asks.

There’s no rush. Read through the answers below and use Ledger’s official resources if you need device-specific guidance. Always verify you’re on a genuine Ledger website before taking action.
Visit Ledger SupportWhere should I download Ledger Wallet?＋
Use the download link provided at ledger.com/start. Avoid search ads, unofficial app stores, and links sent to you unexpectedly. Confirm the publisher and web address before installing.
What if I already have a recovery phrase?＋
Choose the restore option in the official setup flow and follow the instructions displayed on your Ledger device. Never type your existing phrase into a computer, phone, website, or support conversation.
Can Ledger Support ask for my phrase?＋
No. Keep your recovery phrase secret in every situation. Anyone asking you to reveal it, scan it, or enter it online is not providing legitimate setup help. Stop and contact Ledger through its official support site.
Is setup something I need to finish quickly?＋
Not at all. Move at a comfortable pace, read each prompt, and verify important details on your device screen. If anything seems unexpected, pause and consult the official support documentation before continuing.
