Storing and Re-Checking Your Backup After It's Complete

Views0

Overview: Storing and Re-Checking Your Backup After It's Complete — here are the key points in plain English.

Key takeaway: Backup and recovery must happen on the device itself — the recovery phrase should never be typed into software.

Action steps:

  1. Open Ledger Live Settings and find the check/diagnostic tool.
  2. Follow the prompts so the device shows the secure-element or genuine-device screen.
  3. Compare the on-screen information with the official description.
  4. Save the diagnostic result or screenshot for your records.
  5. Run the check again regularly to confirm nothing has changed.

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.
