FAQ's About Ledger
How to keep my secret recovery phrase safe?
Carefully record your Secret Recovery Phrase on the Recovery Sheets included in your hardware wallet box and keep them far from prying eyes, water, fire, etc. For extra peace of mind, you can quickly and easily create a PIN-protected, Secure Element encrypted backup using the Ledger Recovery Key included in all new Ledger touchscreen devices. You can also subscribe to the Ledger Recover™ service which lets you create a digital backup you can use any time, anywhere with just your identity.
Does Bluetooth affect the security of Ledger Stax™, Ledger Flex™ or Ledger Nano X™?
Since your private keys never leave the Secure Element chip, Bluetooth® communication (BLE) does not expose the Ledger Stax™, Ledger Flex™ or Ledger Nano X™ to additional security threats. The BLE connection is end-to-end encrypted to protect user privacy. In any unlikely case that a BLE transport is compromised, the attacker would fail to extract your private keys, or sign transactions that you have not both verified and authenticated.
What if I lose my Ledger device?
Crypto assets reside on the blockchain. If you ever lose or damage your Ledger hardware wallet, or simply want to switch to a new one, you can restore access to your crypto with the Secret Recovery Phrase generated when you first set up your Ledger hardware wallet. Often called a seed phrase, it represents the private keys to all your crypto accounts. Keep it in a safe place, far from prying eyes, fire, water and unforeseen accidents.
Why are Ledger devices now called "signers" instead of a "hardware wallet"?
Security has evolved, and so have we. Ledger signer isn't just a new name, it's a new standard. A signer isn't just a hardware wallet; it's a device that proves you are truly you when accessing apps, signing transactions, and securing your digital life. Ledger devices don't store digital value.
They sign transactions. They prove intent. They verify identity. They're the secure bridge between who you are and what you do online. They don't just hold private keys. Signers empower you to trust yourself. We now call Ledger devices signers because that's what they truly are.
What is the "Secure Screen" and how does it protect me?
The Secure Screen is controlled directly by the Secure Element of your signer, not your computer or phone, so what you see on the device screen is what you are actually approving, no hacker can alter it. It's a critical safeguard, giving you complete transparency before you confirm a transaction, ensuring that what you see is what you sign.
Can someone steal my funds if they have access to my Ledger?
Even if someone steals your Ledger, they won't be able to access it without knowing your PIN. Entering the wrong PIN three times in a row will automatically reset your Ledger to its factory settings.
Why should I use a Ledger secure touchscreen signer rather than an exchange or a software wallet to secure my digital assets?
When you store your crypto on an exchange or in a software wallet, your private keys live online, making them vulnerable to hacks, phishing, and malware. Exchanges hold custody of your funds, meaning you do not actually control your private keys. Software wallets, while convenient, still rely on internet-connected devices that can be compromised.
A Ledger secure touchscreen signer keeps your private keys offline inside a Certified Secure Element chip, the same type of high-security hardware used in passports and payment systems.
Ledger also protects you with Clear Signing. You can see exactly what you are approving before you sign, giving you complete control and eliminating the risk of hidden or malicious actions.
Choosing Ledger gives you true self-custody with physical security, offline protection, and transparent verification for every action, something no exchange or software wallet can match.
