Find answers to common questions about Ledger devices and cryptocurrency security
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your private keys offline, providing protection against hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, hardware wallets keep your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, dramatically reducing vulnerability to theft.
Ledger devices use Secure Element chips (similar to those in passports and credit cards) to store private keys in an isolated environment. Transactions must be physically confirmed on the device, and your recovery phrase never leaves the device. This multi-layered security approach protects against both digital and physical attack vectors.
Your cryptocurrency remains safe even if you lose your Ledger device. Simply acquire a new Ledger (or compatible hardware wallet), enter your recovery phrase, and you'll regain access to all your accounts. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely and never digitize it.
