Overview: A Safety Checklist for Using Ledger on Public Wi-Fi — here are the key points in plain English.
Key takeaway: Stick to the official flow, keep the device and app in sync, and keep a verified backup — that alone lowers most of the risk.
Action steps:
- Confirm the network is trusted and the site uses the official domain.
- Before connecting, check the device casing and seal are intact.
- Back up the recovery phrase before any firmware or app update.
- During operation, never type the phrase into any software.
- Afterwards, review logs and balances in a trusted network.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
