How Ledger Live Safeguards Your Web3 Experience
Ledger doesn’t just provide features — it aims to mitigate risks. Blind signing is reduced thanks to clear signing (you see human‑readable details of each transaction on your device before approving). :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
The app pairs with hardware wallets that include certified Secure Element chips, PIN protection, optional passphrase mode, and physical confirmation for actions. Recovery phrase backups ensure you retain control even if device is lost. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. Ledger will never ask for your 24‑word recovery phrase. If any app or link requests your seed phrase, it is a phishing attempt. Confirm every transaction on your Ledger device. Stay updated with firmware & app versions. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
