Start at the official onboarding page: visit Ledger.com/start** to download Ledger Live, initialize your device, and follow Ledger’s verified step‑by‑step setup to protect your private keys; never install wallet software from third‑party links or share your recovery phrase.** ledger.com started-ledgr.ghost.io

What Ledger.com/start is

Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding portal Ledger provides for new hardware‑wallet users. It centralizes the verified downloads, device initialization flow, and security guidance you need to activate a Ledger Nano device safely. Using this page reduces the risk of counterfeit apps and phishing sites that target new users. ledger.com startcom-ledgr.zapier.app

Quick step‑by‑step setup guide

Follow these concise, actionable steps when you unbox a Ledger device:

  • Visit Ledger.com/start and confirm the URL before clicking anything. started-ledgr.ghost.io
  • Download Ledger Live from the official page and install it on your computer or phone. Ledger Live is the companion app used to manage accounts and install coin apps. ledger.com
  • Initialize the device on‑screen: create a PIN on the hardware wallet and write down the recovery phrase exactly as shown. Store the recovery phrase offline in at least two secure locations. ledger.com
  • Install only official apps for the coins you use through Ledger Live; avoid third‑party wallet installers. ledger.com
  • Verify addresses on the device before sending funds—never trust an address shown only on your computer screen. ledger.com

Security essentials and common scams

  • Private keys never touch the internet when using a hardware wallet; the device signs transactions offline. This is the core security advantage of Ledger devices. ledge-comstart.framer.ai
  • Never share your recovery phrase with anyone or enter it into a website or app. Ledger support will never ask for your recovery phrase. ledger.com
  • Beware of phishing: attackers create fake “start” pages and malicious Ledger‑branded apps. Always type Ledger.com/start manually or use a trusted bookmark. started-ledgr.ghost.io startcom-ledgr.zapier.app
  • Check firmware and app authenticity: Ledger Live will prompt firmware updates; only accept updates initiated through Ledger Live and verified by the device. ledger.com

Troubleshooting and resources

  • If Ledger Live fails to detect your device, try a different USB cable or port and ensure the device is unlocked with your PIN. ledger.com
  • For step‑by‑step videos, Ledger’s official support pages and Ledger Academy provide guided walkthroughs and security lessons. Use only Ledger’s official resources. ledger.com ledge-comstart.framer.ai
