Ledger.com/Start — Secure Getting Started

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start. This page provides clear, formal guidance for initializing your Ledger device and Ledger Live while following essential security best practices.

Begin with Security as Priority

When beginning at Ledger.com/Start, prioritize device integrity and private key protection. Always confirm you are on an official Ledger domain, follow the step-by-step setup instructions shipped with your device, and never share your recovery phrase.

Step-by-step Quick Start

  1. Verify the package and tamper seals before opening.
  2. Download Ledger Live from Ledger.com only and confirm the digital signature when available.
  3. Follow on-screen instructions in Ledger Live to initialize the device; create a PIN and securely record the recovery phrase offline.
  4. Install only the official apps you need via Ledger Live; avoid third-party installations unless verified.
Security highlights: Never enter your recovery phrase on a computer or share it. Use a secure, private place to record your recovery seed and consider using a metal backup for long-term resilience.
