Setting the PIN After Power-On to Avoid Mistaps

Overview: Setting the PIN After Power-On to Avoid Mistaps — 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. Enter Device Settings and choose Set PIN.
2. Use the physical buttons to enter and confirm the PIN.
3. Record where the PIN is stored — but never together with the recovery phrase.
4. Turn on auto-lock to prevent accidental taps.
5. Power-cycle the device and test PIN entry once.

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.
