Initialisation & Backup Standards (Free)

Views0

This page is about initialisation and backup standards. The goal is simple: write down everything that needs to be prepared in advance, and remind you upfront of everything you should never do.

Recommended order

  • Prep the environment first: avoid screen sharing and remote-assistance software.
  • Then run initialisation: follow the prompts on the device itself.
  • Finish with backup and storage: always keep the recovery information offline.

High-risk reminders

Any request for your recovery information or verification code should be turned down on sight. Never photograph, upload or forward the recovery phrase.

Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
