Inspect the package for authenticity. Ledger® devices come with tamper-proof packaging. Never use a device that appears altered or damaged.

Your PIN is the first layer of defense. Choose a unique combination and avoid writing it digitally. This ensures physical access protection.
Write down the 24-word recovery phrase generated by your device on the Ledger-provided sheet. Store it in a safe location offline. This is the only way to recover your crypto if the device is lost.
Memorize your PIN and never share it. Do not store it on your phone or computer to prevent unauthorized access.
Keep your recovery phrase in a secure location. Avoid photographing or storing it online. Only trusted individuals should have access if necessary.
