Quickly Verifying the Device Is Genuine After Init
Overview: Quickly Verifying the Device Is Genuine After Init — 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:
- Open Ledger Live Settings and find the check/diagnostic tool.
- Follow the prompts so the device shows the secure-element or genuine-device screen.
- Compare the on-screen information with the official description.
- Save the diagnostic result or screenshot for your records.
- 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.
