IMPORTANT QUESTION: When someone gets a new computer and wants to re log into their ledger account, how do you do so? I have tried to reset the app plug my leger in but it does not ask for the recovery phrase on the computer. It just opens an empty ledger login with no accounts. How do i access my funds!
Have you found an answer?
You have to add your accounts (funds, e.g. Eth) add the account and then you'll see your balance
I don't think you are meant to add your recovery phrase on your computer as it can be compromised and your funds could be stolen. That's why we are using cold wallets.
hey! it would be helpful if you could link the bip-list in the description so ppl can jump right to it if they need it. great work ledger, keep it up
adjusting the shutterspeed should fix the flickering issue bro
Let's hope Ledger does security better than video production 🤪
@@mavec200Didn’t age well
Hi. I done what you sugested and have the access to my lodger again. However i havent used the ledger for about 2 years now. How do i know which app to install and what fund do i have?
you need a camera that can change the :shutter angle" (not the frame rate) as you change the shutter angle the flicker will minimize and you can then select that shutter angle. Unfortunately its pro cameras that can do that like RED, ALEXA, but I'm sure if you look up online you might be able to find one.
Are seed phrases case sensitive, or does every word start with a capital letter?
You can change the shutter speed if you have a manual mode on your camera and thereby eliminate the flickering
What's it mean wen my new nano s plus shows connection problem?
Should you do this when your device is connected to your computer (Ledger open, connected to internet), or while it is disconnected?
Still on it?
@@Cryptodad1 Got it figured out thank you!
Hi Dan, is it possible for someone to hack into the ledger nano x if they did not have the recovery passphrase?
I forgot my pin and 24 keywords, can I copy my wallet in order to test key until i can find the key ?
great video, but how about restoring the secret accounts?
Hi , i put the wrong pin 3 times and did the mistake of setting up a new device . how can i recover my account ? i have the 24 words recovery phrase . can i recover it by buying a new ledger or there is no way at all ? please help .
This is also my problem. Did you already solve it?
My problem too. It will not let me restore with my recovery phrase.
The flickering is due to a frame rate mismatch I believe between your camera and the screen on the nano. Try lowering your FPS on your camera?
Does ledger live need to be connected to the internet ? If so, that gets me really suspicious !🤔
You totally just saved me Bro. Thanks so much!
It would be much easier to recover your seed phrase list on your computer with your ledger on with the computer and install the list .Just pick your proper name on the site and enter in the right order.If there is a way to do this off line then you can have more security.
Do you need the complete recovery word or just the first 4 letters of each word?
If your ledger recovery phrase is not safe anymore, then you want to reset the ledger. And import by recovery phrase. Will new private keys be generated? If not, what you should do?
I stores a lot of coins on ledger even I don’t remember their names is there any way to know which coins already included into my wallet after I recovered it
what if my screen is not working anymore? I connect the device and it's practically impossible to read what is written.
My 20th word is not in the search and so I keep getting invalid. I know I copied the words down right and this is not the first time I’m putting them in. It’s been a while though and I’m not sure what to do. Afraid to reset, my crypto is still on there. Please help!!❤
Still not fixed?
Big thanks for this video. You save my life bro :D
Hi, I tried to recover my ledger with the recovery phrase and with your video. only after processing it doesn´t work... i don´t see my coins after i instal the coins. please can you help me
Solved?
not really... @@pierrephoenix.
in record mode select PAL and flickering should stop
I was given a Safepal, Can I use my old Ledger nano x secret pass phrase so I can have 2 hardwares to access 1 wallet?
Hey there, we never recommend exporting your 24 words recovery phrase outside a Ledger device! as soon as you compromise them, they become at risk.
Technically, you are able to export it on Safepal, but doing so is at your own risk!
you could make a crop even smaller !
Obviously the 24 word seed phrase has "been online" too. Is it stored at the Ledger headquarters or somewhere on the blockchain? How else would a new device be able to unlock crypto that was secured with a damaged or lost device? I'm curious how this works.
cryptography. How I understand it, the combination of the 24 words decrypts into your private key.
@@bballzer so if i power my ledger nano s plus using a power outlet (not connected to a computer) it will still be able to recognize the 24 words? even though it's offline?
@@mondoburger9535 thats exactly what it does, the 24 words is a seed to generate wallets, if you recover it from previous creation, it will start generating infite wallets from it, when you access from ledger live, using that seed, it will grab all the wallets that have funds
Question related to this:
The value stored on each wallet (like 2 btc, 3 eth, etc.) is stored on the device, right?
What happens if the device is faulty? Any chance to recover the content of the wallet and move it somewhere else?
Thanks!
@@adriengouxno you just store the keys on the device.
I made the mistake of doing a new recovery phrase
I’m glad I did not have any funds on the old account
Why is the key part of the video so small in the corner?
My old phone was stolen and hardware Ledger isn't connecting to new mobile device i mean pairing... and I managed to reset Ledger device cause i forgot my pin.. how do I import accounts when it's not connecting
Can someone keep trying all possible 24 word combinations and get access to someone crypto?
If you select set up as new device by accident what can you do? just order a brand new device and enter the old seed phrase to recover your crypto???
I have this exact issue and am trying to use my ledger and the troubleshooting provided does not fix my problem and there is no customer service that will answer in a timely manner. so I may lose thousands of dollars due to this. Consider this before buying. Their excuses being thier wallet is down which also explains nothing.Thank you.

After trying few time to restore my ledger recovery phrases this was came to me :"Your device will generate 24 words, they are your Recovery phrase. It is your only backup, to restore your accounts if needed. Write it down on your recovery sheet,in the correct order. " and now my assets not exists

hey what if i forgot what accounts i made for each crypto? lets say i bought some xlm years ago but forgot to re create a account for it. is there some feature to know what i bought/stored in ledger ?
Hey, That would be great to know, but unfortunately Ledger Live does not store such information so until you re-add each of your accounts manually, Ledger Live won't be able to show them. So please keep a record of all the accounts that you have created to be safe.
Hey, so if you forgot which specific altcoin you bought, You can't find them again, after having a new computer ? I bought several types of alts in 2021, forgot them now, & now I can't have access to which one I bought precisely ? @@Ledger

Recently I tried connecting my nano x to an old laptop and ledger live being out of date also trying to move a token. As soon as I entered my pin my nano x was apparently reset because the option to create new or reset from phrase appeared. - My question is on my newer laptop I can still open ledger live and see my accounts. If I do the recover from seed phrase will I see ledger live do something?
Hello, the reset was probably due to the device's defense mechanism and the versions being out of date. Not to worry, this has no impact on your funds.
When you install Ledger Live on a new PC, it will prompt you to set up as new.
When you go to settings in Ledger Live > help > and Launch device set up, then connect your Ledger device and choose the option "restore from recovery phrase", then you will have to insert your 24 words on the Ledger device (an authentic version of Ledger Live will never ask for your 24 words).
Then you can manually add back your accounts and you will see your funds.

- enable WebHID on Metamask's advanced settings
- enable blind signing on ETH app on your Ledger device and keep the ETH app open
- close Ledger Live and use Metamask's interface connected to your Ledger device

Hello may i ask about in minute 2:20 if we already the 24 seed phrase before. And then the device reset and i accidentally choose "set up as new device" is it gonna make my previous recovery phrase lost and also my crypto before? Or it just gonna get a new recovery phrase?
Old recovery phrase should have all your old crypto.

If you are using ledger live app on mobile and you want to open the ledger live website on laptop...do you lose anything or how does that work.? Im little confused and scared of losing assets
ok, so you HAVE to reset ther device with 3 pin entry errors in order to recover it to another computer? Main PC has crashed so need to move it another.
Hello, if you want to use another PC, you do not have to reset your Ledger device. Also, the 24 words recovery phrase should only be inserted on a Ledger device for recovering, never on Ledger Live or any 3rd party wallets! Moreover, a genuine version of Ledger Live will never ask you to enter your 24 words recovery phrase. Beware of fake apps that lure you to do it.
You just have to install Ledger Live from Ledger.com on your new PC, connect your device via USB, choose "connect your nano" and then manually add back your accounts. Then your funds will show on the Ledger Live!
We hope this better clarifies, and we remain available if needed

Hi, we'd be happy to help you with this. Your existing accounts are linked to your 24 words seed phrase that you generated when setting up your first Ledger device. If your new Ledger device is generating a new address that means your new device is not set up with the exact same 24 words seed phrase of your old device.
We'd suggest resetting your new Ledger device to factory settings and try restoring it again using the instructions mentioned here 👇🏻

If that's not what you meant, please correct us!
Do we need absolutely to get a new Ledger wallet to recover the crypto or we can put the seed phrase in another wallet like Metamask Trustwallet ? What do we do if Ledge live dont work anymore? Thanks

Can u use same pin as before is that safe
Hey Jim - yes it's perfectly safe!
i have a question please. why when i reset my recovery phrase the ledger did not detect the coins i have on it ?? very important to know the answer please
Hi, your funds are stored on the blockchain. When you reset your Ledger device and set it up with a new 24 word seed phrase, you'll lose access to your accounts. Your funds will still be there, it is just that you will not be able to access them with the new 24 words seed phrase as it's not linked.
@@Ledger no , here is what happen with me. i store my seed phrase correctly 1st time and transfer some coins, then i reset my ledger, and set it up as a new device with new seed phrase,
then i reset again and set it up as the recovery phrase for the seed phrase with coins. but when i checkedmy ledger on new mobile and computer i didnt found my coin until i install each coin app on ledger.. i found my coin at the end. but my question exactly is why ledger did not detect the coin on it directly ?
That's because Ledger Live doesn't store databases, so every time you install Ledger Live on a separate device, you have to connect your Ledger and add back your accounts! Do the previous steps on your PC Ledger Live and then sync it to your mobile app, (account > export)

Hello, I did this process for a Nano X which belong to late relative(No idea the sign in details). On my own computer, was able to gain access however on ledger live it doesn't sign me to an account, am I correct in saying they never successfully connected the device to their account?
Hey, to better explain, if you enter a wrong PIN code 3 times, the Nano device will factory reset deleting the PIN, 24 words recovery phrase, and the apps installed on the device. The funds are not lost, they remain on the blockchain, you just need the 24 words recovery phrase to gain access to them.
If you have the 24 words, then you could restore your device from the recovery phrase: support.ledger.com/hc/articles/4404382560913-Restore-from-recovery-phrase?support=true

Does typing recovery phrase into the device while connected to the laptop expose us to keylogger hack? Thanks
Hey, the 24 words is only generated from the device and you would only need to insert it to another Ledger device, and never on a software wallet or any digital form!
- Please keep your 24 words out of any online activity
- Never share them with anyone but yourself
- Ledger will never ask you for your recovery phrase
- Keep it in a safe place and away from any possible damage.

@@Ledger Thanks. My question was while we input the seed phrases into the ledger device at the same time connected to the computer's ledger live , can keylogger capture our seeds while we input the seeds into the ledger device while connected to the computer's ledger live?
Hi Dan..... I just formatted my labtop, and try to restore my account. After I opened the Ledger live, I went to the options which I already got my device setup right? First I selected "restore my account" but my nano device dashboard is showing my PIN page and doesn't allow me to select "restore/recovering". What should I do?? Later, I selected "connect my device" option, then after I key in my PIN in my device, and I successfully entered Ledger Live. However, I need to add the accounts in the ledger live in order to see my portfolio. Am I doing correct?? By selecting "connect my device" I do not need to enter my recovery phases??
Hey, you misunderstood one point, and we will gladly clarify.
So what you did is correct, you only need to "connect your device" and then add back your accounts manually.
You choose the following option "restore from recovery phrase" if your "Ledger" device has been restored/reseted, this is when you will need to enter you 24 words recovery phrase on the device.
But, in your case, you just got a new laptop, so just setting up Ledger Live and not the Ledger device
We hope this better explains and remain availalbe should you have any other questions! 🙏
@@Ledger Thanks for your kind clarifications!!! It’s really helps!!!
So, once the device is set, then it remembered the seed phrases (not the ledger live). And the device can be connected to any computer’s or laptop’s Ledger live and access to our account by activating the device using PIN.
Only when the device is reset(or using a new device) then we need to chose “restore from recovery phrase” to set the device, and then access to our account.
Now I understand better! Really appreciate your assistance!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do I need my public key too to recover the wallet? Or does it still work when I have only the recovery phrase and let's say I have lost my ledger and my computer and do not know the public address. How is it safe then? Could a theft not just randomly try any combination of recovery phrases until he get's it right and "found" a random wallet?
Hi - no, you only need your recovery phrase. The number of different possible 24 word recovery phrase combinations is about 115 792 089 237 316 195 423 570 985 008 687 907 853 269 984 665 640 564 039 457 584 007 913 129 639 936. Taking that number and comparing it against the number of people using crypto, needless to say it's highly unlikely for a thief to randomly guess a recovery phrase that's currently in use - which is why thieves try to trick you into giving them your recovery phrase instead.

Hi! We’ll be happy to provide some information on this. Yes, the restoring process works the same way.

The reason I ask is that, in the video you never mention the old broken device being transferred to the new device. I don't mean to be a burr in the saddle, but I have a lot riding on this.
Thankyou so much, Tom
Hey Tom, We'd be happy to help. In case of damage, loss, or theft of your Ledger device, you can get back access to your accounts using your 24-word recovery phrase, by restoring it on a new Ledger device.
Your crypto assets are not stored inside the Ledger device nor the Ledger Live application. Rather, they are stored on the blockchain. Your Ledger hardware device just holds the private keys (seed phrase) that provide access to your funds on the blockchain. So once you restore your new Ledger device with the same 24 words seed phrase you generated with your old broken device, it will give your new device access to your existing accounts on the blockchain. Let us know if you have any other questions.
@@Ledger Ok, I got through the restore the 24 words, but then when i went to add the crypto it went into a thinking mode and the phrase vires in numeris showed on my device. i understand the phrase, but the live ledger stayed in a download mode for an hour and a half, then the words download disappeared. it never said anything else, the logo for the crypto never showed on my device, the account was never added.
usually when I go to my ledger live it prompts me to plug in my device, but it never did that this time. the ledger live is updated. What do you think?
It seems there an issue with your Ledger Live synchronisation. Could you please clear the cache and then try again. Go to settings > Help > Clear Cache.
I CAN'T HEAR THIS GUY... VOLUME TOO LOW!!!
So if my ledger was destroyed and i had my recovery phrase, could i recover it on a new one?
Hi there - in short, yes. Here is a tutorial for it: support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404382560913-Restore-your-Ledger-accounts-with-your-recovery-phrase?support=true
@@Ledger thank you so much!
What happens in the event that (say in 5 years) ledger goes bankrupt and I lost my device, how do I recover then? (And I don't have a second device)
Hi! No worries - you can recover your assets on any BIP39 compatible wallet using your seed phrase.
Can hardly hear the bloke. I expect better from a company selling such products.
If i made the mistake of setup a New device Like you said at 2:32 That give me New 24 words, what i do to recupere All my coins….!?
Hey, if you wanted to restore using your initial 24 words, but accidentally set up as a new and generated a second 24 words. Then simply reset the device as it's holding the second 24 words which you don't have funds in (supposedly), and then you reset the device by entering a wrong PIN 3 times. Then you go through the set-up process again, but choose the option "Restore from your recovery phrase" and you follow the steps mentioned in this helpful article: support.ledger.com/hc/articles/4404382560913-Restore-from-recovery-phrase?support=true
This will restore your initial 24 words funds on your new device!
We hope this better clarifies and remain availalble to assist if needed
@@Ledger That DOES NOT WORK.
I have many assets on my ledger but I'm only able to send Bitcoin any resolution to this?????
Hi there - only Bitcoin can be sold directly from Ledger Live. For all other assets, you'll have to first transfer them to an exchange in order to sell. If you're having issues sending other coins to exchanges, please contact our support team at: support.ledger.com/hc/en-us
