How Ledger Wallet® Works
Ledger Wallet operates by keeping your private keys offline and stored on a physical hardware device. This prevents any malware or unauthorized access from compromising your keys. Here's how it works:
- Set up your Ledger Wallet: When you first set up your Ledger Wallet, you will create a unique recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or stolen.
- Install Ledger Live™: Download and install the Ledger Live™ app on your computer or mobile device. This app acts as the interface to manage your Ledger Wallet and your crypto assets.
- Sign In Your Device®: When you want to sign into your cryptocurrency accounts or initiate transactions, Ledger Wallet securely communicates with the site or application. Only after authenticating your device through Ledger Live™ can you approve any actions—giving you total control over your funds.
- Track Transactions: Ledger Live™ allows you to monitor your transaction history, receive notifications of incoming or outgoing payments, and check the current balance of your assets.
Sign In Your Device®
Ledger Wallet® ensures that your device remains the only trusted source of access for your cryptocurrency transactions. The Sign In Your Device® functionality is critical for preventing unauthorized access and protecting your assets from phishing, malware, and other digital threats.
Why Is This Important?
Without a secure sign-in protocol, unauthorized access becomes an issue that could lead to the loss of funds. Ledger’s “Sign In Your Device®” feature ensures that only your physical device can authenticate and approve transactions. Here’s how:
- Hardware-Backed Authentication: Each transaction or login requires you to physically confirm the action on your Ledger device. This ensures no one can access your wallet remotely without your approval.
- Security Without Compromise: No software vulnerabilities can compromise your device since the device never exposes your private keys or sensitive data to the internet.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): For an additional layer of protection, Ledger also supports 2FA for your online accounts, giving you even more security during sign-ins.
The Sign In Your Device® feature is the best way to make sure your digital assets are always protected while maintaining a smooth, easy-to-use experience.
