The Complete First-Time Ledger Initialisation Flow

Views0

Overview: The Complete First-Time Ledger Initialisation Flow — here are the key points in plain English.

Key takeaway: Stick to the official flow, keep the device and app in sync, and keep a verified backup — that alone lowers most of the risk.

Action steps:

  1. Check the packaging is intact and verify the factory seal.
  2. Press the power button, power on and pick a language.
  3. Set a 4-8 digit PIN on the device.
  4. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase on paper — never photograph it.
  5. Finish the safety checks and pair with Ledger Live from the official download.

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.
