Ledger.com/Start® — Getting Started with Ledger Web

Welcome to Ledger Web. Start at ledger.com/start to sign up, protect your keys, and learn essential security best practices.

Why ledger.com/start matters

This guided page explains the first steps you should take at ledger.com/start. Whether you're brand new to hardware wallets or already own a Ledger device, this page helps you sign up for Ledger Web services, understand the safety basics, and connect your device in a secure, privacy-aware way. The short primer below summarizes what to expect and how to prepare before using any web-based wallet interfaces.

Secure sign-up

Create an account with email verification and optional passphrase protections. Your recovery phrase never leaves your device; the web interface only helps manage settings and view balances.

Privacy-first design

Ledger Web minimizes data collection. Use a dedicated email address if you prefer extra separation between identity and crypto activity.

Setup checklist

Have your Ledger hardware device nearby, ensure firmware is up-to-date, back up your recovery phrase offline, and follow on-screen instructions carefully.

Before you sign up

Take two minutes to prepare: record your recovery phrase on paper (never online), confirm device firmware updates through Ledger Live or official instructions, and create a strong, unique password for your Ledger Web account. If you use a password manager, store the account credentials there. Ledger Web complements the hardware device and should never ask you to type your recovery phrase into a browser. If any webpage asks for that phrase, treat it as a phishing attempt and leave immediately.

This page uses the keyword ledger.com/start to help you find the official getting-started material. Always verify the URL and certificate of any web wallet or service you use.

How Ledger Web and the sign-up work

Signing up at Ledger Web is designed to be fast and secure. The sign-up form below collects only the essentials: a valid email address and a strong password. After submitting, you'll receive a verification link to confirm ownership of your email. Ledger Web offers optional two-factor authentication (2FA) for increased protection. Remember: hardware wallet security depends on protecting your recovery phrase. Ledger Web never requests that phrase.

For extra security you can enable device-based confirmations: when you perform sensitive actions, Ledger Web will request a physical confirmation on your Ledger device. This creates a strong link between the web interface and the hardware seed, keeping your private keys safe.
