Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the official Ledger website?
No. This is an unofficial demo meant to teach safe setup. Always use the official site for downloads and device initialization.
Should I ever enter my 24‑word phrase on a website?
Never. Your recovery phrase should only be entered on your physical device when restoring a wallet, never on a computer or phone.
Where do I get Ledger Live?
From ledger.com/start. Verify the URL and SSL lock icon.
What if I think I encountered a phishing site?
Close it immediately, do not connect your device, and report it to Ledger support. If you revealed your phrase, move assets to a new wallet with a new phrase.
