Ledger® Account Recovery and Security
If your device is lost or reset, your crypto assets can still be recovered using the 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase can be entered into a new Ledger® device to restore your accounts. Ledger® does not use conventional 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) since security is built into the hardware itself. However, if you’ve set up app-level 2FA with exchanges, you’ll need to reset it directly on those platforms.
Getting Help from Ledger® Support
The Ledger® Help Center provides comprehensive guides for firmware updates, connection errors, and software troubleshooting. You can also contact official support agents for assistance. Remember, Ledger® will never request your 24-word recovery phrase under any circumstance.
