Thank you so much! as someone new to the crypto space, it's been extremely confusing trying to understand the end to end process of buying ETH for the first time and getting it to my new Ledger wallet safely. this video has filled in the gaps and answered so many questions!!
At 3:50, you say that The ledger should be open and on an ethereum app... Please link a tutorial for getting that going on the ledger. What is the purpose of the apps? What's the purpose of the accounts and where does one across l acquire credentials for them?
@ledger Do I risk only the token in question I blindsigned for on my ledger device or do I expose my seed phrases and risk all my other assets on my ledger?
Great vid, thanks! I have a question about using Ledger with Metamask. Can we use the same Ledger with.... 1. Two different MM extensions on two different browsers (Brave and Firefox)? 2. Multiple accounts on one MM extension on Firefox? 3. One MM extension and one Math Wallet extension on the same Firefox browser? Or do we need to use multiple Ledgers to accomplish these three examples? Thanks
Thanks for sharing! Super helpful. Looks like you don't recommend using the default "account 1 - metamask". I currently have my Ledger connected to MM but I use "Account 1" as a burner. Is this risky?
Hello, yes we don't recommend using the default Memamask account "account 1". There is no real reason to use an account that is not secured because your device can generate as many addresses as you need. So you could generate a new account from your device and use that one as a burner. That way you'll have a "burner" address but it will be a secured one !
@ledger Do I risk only the token in question I blindsigned for on my ledger device or do I expose my seed phrases and risk all my other assets on my ledger?
My ledger was connected months ago. Now it's not working properly. I removed and when trying to connect it just clocks at "looking for your ledger" everything is up to date but i can't figure it out. Thoughts?
Any idea if you can move a staked asset to your hard wallet without un-staking? Example; TIME staked on Wonderland. Would I need to un-stake, send from MM to hard wallet, then back to Wonderland to re-stake? Lol sorry long question.
Thank you! Can you explain the steps involved if one already has a metamask, coming in with a fresh ledger? I'm unclear about seed phrases and possibly transferring assets if needed in this scenario. I'm also unclear about firmware updates and ledger live, and how they relate to metamask.
This video presents those steps: a new account in metamask is created once you choose the ledger option at 3:28. If you haven't used *Ledger Live* yet, before doing what's in this video, you create there (in Live) an Ethereum wallet after installing its app. Go through the instructions on how to work with your Ledger before attempting any of this and avoid skipping steps. Cheers!
@@andanssas And when you have an existing ledger and existing metamask both with funds in it. Can you follow the same step? Then a second account will open in your metamask (the ledger account) and you can just send your funds from the existing metamask account to that one so its all secure?
@@JW-tm9gs all accounts have a specific address, so if you have 2 accounts of the same type (independently of Ledger) and on the same network, you should be able to exchange funds between them using both addresses, like when you exchange funds with another person/entity... The fact that they are in the same metamask app doesn't affect transactions. Ledger TH-cam channel has older videos in the *School of Block* series explaining how to work with metamask.
Why are there so many addresses at 4:17?? I'm confused because mine shows the same thing. Are those just all the available address slots that are hidden inside Ledger itself?
Hi, All the accounts are linked to the Ledger seed phrase. You can use them to manage your funds at anytime you want. They are secured by your Ledger device.
Great vid man! I have a brand new Ledger Nano S plus. I notice you said "hay ledger, what account do you have in here?" Metamask (MM) opens and lists 5 account numbers at a time. none of them mine I suppose because there isn't any yet. How do I set up a brand new Ledger with a brand new MM account?
Question, I added ledger account to metamask on my desktop but it is not reflecting on my iphone. How do I add the same acocunt from my desktop to my phone ?
I have a new Ledger that I want to use as a backup to my old one? I want them to copies basically. Do I use recover from seed phrase on my new Ledger? Or is there a better way to create a backup wallet?
Great video but I already have one working account on a ledger, and now I'd like to add more accounts using the same ledger so wondering can I just add more? Creating more accounts is easy to do but how do you add them to the same ledger because if you don't, those accounts are like the account "Don't Use." Do you add more accounts to the same ledger as seen in the previous steps? I am just concerned that I would have one secure account with a ledger and the others aren't. Many thanks for your support.
Yes, you surely add multiple accounts in Ledger Live. There is no max limit to it. All the accounts you add after connecting your Ledger device are linked to your 24 words seed phrase and secured by your Ledger device. Just follow the instructions shown in the video and you're good to go.
if i already have an account on metamask, is it better to just simply immediately install hardware wallet like ledger. or is it better to create another account for that?
Hello, You can use multiple Metamask wallet with Ledger device. When connecting your Ledger device to Metamask, you will be asked to select an address from list. All the address are derived from your Ledger 24 words recovery phrase.
Hey there! When you set up your Nano, it'll generate a seed phrase. You'll then be able to port your Ledger Ethereum accounts into MetaMask! More info on that here: www.ledger.com/academy/security/the-safest-way-to-use-metamask
@@Ledger awesome thank you and if I ever need to install my metamask to a new device I don't need it proprietary seed phrase I can use the ledger to login?
That's correct indeed. You do not need the 12 words seed phrase from Metamask to set it up on a new device. The only thing you need to secure is your 24 words seed phrase/recovery phrase that is generated by your Ledger device to restore access to your Ledger accounts.
The Accounts list on the Ledger... how can it be sorted, managed, etc.? How did it become such a long list to beginn with? Why can't I find the right account? Is the term Ledger Account and ETH Address Synonym? This is all not easy at all and well under-documented
Ok, I understand the whole process. But, this is a process for creating a new wallet. What about existing MetaMask wallet? is the procedure the same? Because, existing one does have a 24 passphrase and is hot wallet. How do I then change it to cold wallet with ledger?
@Ledger Do I risk only the token in question I blindsigned for on my ledger device or do I expose my seed phrases and risk all my other assets on my ledger?
Very curious about this, i have the same question... Got an existing metamask with coins staked in pools wich i can't just withdraw and make a new metamask. Also got a working ledger with funds on it. How do i connect the both so my funds in my metamask are more secure?
@@JW-tm9gs you have to connect ledger, and unstake all funds and sent to ledger and then stake it or lock it again to be secure, everything else is risky
@@JW-tm9gs You can do exactly what he did in this video. You need to understand that all he is doing in this video is allowing himself to use his Ledger through MetaMask. So, this means that in MetaMask he has two SEPARATE accounts - His ledger's address and key and his MetaMask address and key. If the whole metamask account got compromised, the attacker would only have access to the funds on the MetaMask account not the Ledger Account, because the key to sign the Ledger account's transactions is stored on the device which would be disconnected. If you want your funds on your MetaMask account to be secure, you'll need to send them over to your ledger account. It's as simple as selecting your MetaMask account with funds on it, clicking 'SEND,' and pasting your LEDGER address as the destination (first making sure both accounts are on the same network, e.g. Ethereum Mainnet).

Once you have a ledger/hardware wallet...the 1st stage was like an ' outer shell ' of the 2 layer line-of- defense of using the Metamask wallet.It's simple actually but I guess for noobs...it's a whole new world for them.
What happens if you need to access your Ledger account via that Metamask wallet in a different browser/computer but you don't have the seed phrase because you didn't save it (per Kyle's video)?
great video! is that means that with Ledger (cold wallet), you need to access to the device in real person to transfer asset? In another word, it is impossible for hacker to access to your asset without accessing the Ledger device. Just to be clear as I plan to get a Ledger. Please advise.
Hi there, You are correct! Your device pairs with Ledger Live and you require your device to manage your assets or buy new ones. This means your private keys are offline and safe from hacks!
Hello I'm new. Can you use the ledger for a different wallet even after you linked it to your metamask or would you need a separate ledger if you used it with another wallet.
Very good videos by you. Thanks! Now I face an issue when connecting the ledger and doing this from Firefox on ubuntu where metamask says I have to set security.webauth.u2f to true in :aboutconfig . It still fails with the same error. Any comment from you is welcome.
By setting up metamask (1:11) an account is automatically created. He then creates a new account that associates his Ledger to metamask due to the reasons explained. Tip: watch the video while doing it yourself and pause as needed.
The Ledger does not have to be new - it creates a new account in MM when connected as a hardware device. All the account keys that you see in the video just come from installing the ETH app via the Ledger Live, just pick one; then the MM interface reads that and that is the new one protected by the Ledger that you will use, instead of the auto-created MM one embedded in the browser.
what do u do if u have an existing meta mask account with nft's and also etherium and how do u connect meta mask to protect the nft's and etherium? thanks.
I don't suppose there is a chance you could make a video about transferring your current MetaMask accounts into a new ledger. I know AXION Official did a similar video, but reading the comments, some were saying there were flaws and vulnerabilities in the way they showed it. I think there are many here that already have many coins staking with MetaMask and want to protect those accounts with the ledger, rather than add a ledger account to an already existing MM wallet.....I hope that makes sense. As far as I'm aware if you already have a Ledger with coins on, then you will need a new Ledger to transfer your existing MetaMask onto i.e. enter your existing MetaMask seed phrase onto the Ledger.....basically One seed phrase per Ledger... Is this possible? would really appreciate a video showing how to do this....thanks
You need to understand that all he is doing in this video is allowing himself to use his Ledger through MetaMask. So, this means that in MetaMask he has two SEPARATE accounts - His ledger's address and key and his MetaMask address and key. Okay, so if you are asking, "I have funds on my MetaMask that I want to move to my ledger," it's as simple as selecting your MetaMask account with funds on it, clicking 'SEND,' and pasting your LEDGER address as the destination (first making sure both accounts are on the same network, e.g. Ethereum Mainnet). I hope this helps you.
1. What does it mean when they say nano s you can install 3 apps vs compare to nano x you can install 100 apps? Are the apps token? 2. Is nano s limited to the number of tokens it can hold? 3. How do you log out of the ledger wallet using metamask? Is there a log out button or do you just pull it out? 4. How do you enable blind signing and what is it? 5. Can you use the ledger wallet and add to multiple metamask wallet? Or is it one ledger for one metamask wallet? 6. Can I add multiple wallet eg metamask, trust wallet to my ledger? 7. Is there another setting I should enable that everyone seems to miss? 8. Will I be able to see all my tokens in my ledger in the ledger live app? Much appreciated
Can this same procedure be used in MM with Ledger for a BNB BSC account for those BEP-20 tokens? If so, then you just switch from ETH to BSC as needed, right? And Ledger Live must be closed too?
what if i already have metamask setup and have crypto on metamask, is it safe to do this process still or should i make a new metamsk accouint and move everthing there?
Why do you say account 1 is unsafe? How is it different to any other Metamask account, surely unless someone knows your passcode they can't access your Crytpo or NFT's. Is there a way to retrospectively secure account 1 with Ledger to make it safe? Great vid by the way.
I’m no expert but I believe he’s saying it is unsafe because he publicly showed the recovery phase for that account. If he didn’t show that, then that account will be as secure as any online (hot) wallet.
So, if I already had a metamask account, is it safe to add the ledger accounts the way you’ve shown? Or should I be setting up an entirely new Mm account(I’m not sure that’s possible even to have 2 separate MM accounts in one browser)?
Hi, you can add your Ledger accounts in your current metamask setup. You'll see Ledger next to the account that is secured by your device. Here is a guide to help you add your accounts. support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404366864657-How-to-access-your-Ledger-Ethereum-ETH-account-via-Metamask?docs=true
thank you. this was very helpful. one question tho... when i connect my ledger nano x to MM it shows me multiple ETH addresses, although i have only created one so far. is this normal? shouldn't the ledger be empty/clean in the beginning?
thank you for your reply. i have two more questions. 1: i set up ledger live on two devices (desktop and mobile phone). i then labeled an account within the ledger live app on my phone. that label does not transfer to the desktop app. is that as expected? or is there a way to sync these? 2: the ethereum address for my ledger account has an ENS domain set as primary. can this also be displayed automatically within the app? thank you in advance.
Hello, happy to help! 1. You can install and use Ledger Live on multiple computers and/or smartphones. Please note that Ledger Live does not use a centralized database with your accounts and settings, so you will have to manually edit/add your accounts on each Ledger Live setup. 2. Ledger Live cannot display the ENS domain name yet. However, we have forwarded your feedback to our engineering team for review.
Can ERC20 tokens not available to see on ledger live but held on the ledger wallet show up in Meta Mask this way (similar to showing up on myetherwallet)? So you can interact with dApps with the ledger device held ERC20 token?
Quick question: what happens if I loose the ledger and lets say also the computer with the Metamask wallet? In that case I would need a) the 12 recovery phrase for Metamask PLUS buying a new ledger, putting the same 24 recovery words and connect it again with the Metamask. Is this correct?
Hey! So in this case, the steps would be as follows: 1. Restore your Ledger 24-word recovery phrase into your new Ledger device 2. Boot a new MetaMask account, you can either use your old MetaMask 12-word recovery phrase or create a new one - the only recovery phrase that matters is your Ledger recovery phrase 3. Connect your Ledger device to MetaMask. Your old Ledger accounts will appear in MetaMask & you're good to go!
What if I have say, some TIME tokens already in my Metamask. I just bought a Nano S. Do I set up Etherium app on my Nano, then transfer this TIME there (as TIME is on the AVAX network)? THanks
Hi Sir, good day. The video was awesome. Do you think you can make a video how to protect my BNB token and other token on BSC network using existing MM and with a Ledger nano S please, I just got a Ledger nano S and I don’t know how to set it up. I keep losing a token due to I been a victim on a Phishing site and now I can’t transfer my NFT account to a new MM. If possible you can help us out it would be a life saver.
I already had a MM account, before I installed the chrome extention. That’s why I clicked on „No, I already have a recovery phrase“ to import that existing account. After that step I linked my ledger to the imported MM account as described in the video with the same result (second account named „ledger“ occurred). Is this way also ok or could it be a safety issue ?
Yes that is 100% safe. As long as you did not enter your Ledger recovery seed phrase into the MM wallet you are fine. If you are not sure there is simple way to test this. Log into your MM wallet and try to send funds from you Ledger 1 account without your Ledger device being connected. If this fails then you never imported via the recovery seed phase your Ledger hardware wallet ETH accounts into MM only just connected the wallet which is fine.
Hi, thank you so much for the video, quick question, when I do this is it ok if it says “Ledger” instead of “Hardware” on the right side of the ledger account when you open metamask?
Hi! Indeed, we know that depending on the version of your ETH app, the Ledger-protected account in MetaMask can be displayed either as "Hardware" or as "Ledger". This is therefore expected, and you don't have to worry about it. 😉 IMPORTANT: Remember that it’s incredibly important that your recovery phrase is never entered into your computer or smartphone, ever. This also means that you shouldn’t be setting up your Ledger with a recovery phrase that came from these devices either!
They could only delete your ledger account in Metamask (but does not mean at all that you loose the founds, it only means you can´t see them) So once you buy a new computer/install everything again you just connect it again and you will see everything :) hope that helps
Question what happens if you were to send ethereum to a different wallet on metamask will the balance update on ledger live and can you send balance to a different wallet on ledger live and can you send balance to a different wallet on ledger live
Hello, If you are using Metamask to access your Ledger ETH account then ETH balance will update in Ledger Live. And it is possible to send your ETH from one Ledger ETH accout to another within Ledger Live app.
So why in the metamask iOS app is it only showing me the unused metamask hot wallet, and not my ledger s one? The chrome extension shows both accounts, metamask iOS app only shows the “unsafe” default wallet address… MM has been unhelpful, maybe ledger can help?
Did you set up your device using the best practice? Meaning, setup PIN, generated 24 words recovery phrase from your Ledger device, and then establish a genuine check after connecting to Ledger Live? After that, if you want to connect your device to Metamask's interface for example on the Chrome browser, you should do it safely through these steps and not by importing/exporting you 24 words ever: support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404366864657-Set-up-and-use-MetaMask-to-access-your-Ledger-Ethereum-ETH-account?docs=true Let us know if this helps, or what you are trying to do so we better guide you!
@@Ledger Your reply helped. I have successfully done this before ( migrating Metamask to Ledger }.However I didn't add additional accounts at that time. Now it appears that I'm missing one step because the Ledger is pairing but it isn't locating the newer wallet .
What do you mean by migrating your Metamask to Ledger? If you meant that you had funds on hot wallet MM before, then you got your Ledger Nano and set-it up as a new wallet, and then do on-chain transfers from your MM hot wallet accounts, to your Ledger protected cold wallet accounts (protected by the 24 words recovery phrase) Then you are all good. What accounts you want to add? You should connect your device to Ledger Live, install an app from your manager's tab (ex: BTC) then head over to account's tab to add one for it.

How do you add additional wallets created on MetaMask to ledger Eth account? I have my main account listed but want to add my other accounts. Thank you
Hi, it is not possible to add your Metamask account in Ledger Live since it is linked to your MM 12 words seed phrase. If you want to add your Ledger ETH account that you're accessing via Metamask then you can simply add them like you did your first ETH account. Please note that Ledger Live does not allow you to add multiple empty accounts. Your first ETH account should be funded with some ETH so that you can add more ETH accounts. We hope this helps.
@@Ledger hi thanks for the response. i have eth in another metmask wallet that i son the ledger, but when i try to add that account to ledger live via add account, eth, it doesn't find it even tho is has eth balance, the only option is to add an account 2 empty account. i have successfully added 7 other account that are on binance but cant find any other eth accounts.

I'm confused because mine shows the same thing. Are those just all the available address slots that are hidden inside Ledger itself?
Hi, All the accounts are linked to the Ledger seed phrase. You can use them to manage your funds at anytime you want. They are secured by your Ledger device.
Great vid man! I have a brand new Ledger Nano S plus. I notice you said "hay ledger, what account do you have in here?" Metamask (MM) opens and lists 5 account numbers at a time. none of them mine I suppose because there isn't any yet. How do I set up a brand new Ledger with a brand new MM account?
Disregard. I remembered how I did it before. Gettin old sucks!!
Thanks for this video!
Question, I added ledger account to metamask on my desktop but it is not reflecting on my iphone. How do I add the same acocunt from my desktop to my phone ?
OK thank you. Newb question - how do I add my current metamask account? Sorry if a dumb question!
I have a new Ledger that I want to use as a backup to my old one? I want them to copies basically. Do I use recover from seed phrase on my new Ledger? Or is there a better way to create a backup wallet?
Great video but I already have one working account on a ledger, and now I'd like to add more accounts using the same ledger so wondering can I just add more? Creating more accounts is easy to do but how do you add them to the same ledger because if you don't, those accounts are like the account "Don't Use." Do you add more accounts to the same ledger as seen in the previous steps? I am just concerned that I would have one secure account with a ledger and the others aren't. Many thanks for your support.
Yes, you surely add multiple accounts in Ledger Live. There is no max limit to it. All the accounts you add after connecting your Ledger device are linked to your 24 words seed phrase and secured by your Ledger device. Just follow the instructions shown in the video and you're good to go.
just what I was looking for...needed to create a Metamask "dummy wallet" before could connect my ledger to new PC / brower.
if i already have an account on metamask, is it better to just simply immediately install hardware wallet like ledger. or is it better to create another account for that?
Great video. Can I use three Metamask wallets with Ledger or do I start transferring into one Meatamask wallet with three accounts? Thanks
Hello, You can use multiple Metamask wallet with Ledger device. When connecting your Ledger device to Metamask, you will be asked to select an address from list. All the address are derived from your Ledger 24 words recovery phrase.
Very straightforward. Thanks bro! But please do use dark mode for opensea :P
Please show us how to sell your NFTs that’s are on your ledger ? What happens when it gets sold? Do you have to sign before it does?
just ordered my nano x, how do i get my seed phrase on my new nano b4 i setup new metamask act? thank you
Hey there! When you set up your Nano, it'll generate a seed phrase. You'll then be able to port your Ledger Ethereum accounts into MetaMask! More info on that here: www.ledger.com/academy/security/the-safest-way-to-use-metamask
@@Ledger awesome thank you and if I ever need to install my metamask to a new device I don't need it proprietary seed phrase I can use the ledger to login?
That's correct indeed. You do not need the 12 words seed phrase from Metamask to set it up on a new device. The only thing you need to secure is your 24 words seed phrase/recovery phrase that is generated by your Ledger device to restore access to your Ledger accounts.
The Accounts list on the Ledger... how can it be sorted, managed, etc.? How did it become such a long list to beginn with? Why can't I find the right account? Is the term Ledger Account and ETH Address Synonym? This is all not easy at all and well under-documented
Thnak you! Helped a lot!
Ok, I understand the whole process. But, this is a process for creating a new wallet. What about existing MetaMask wallet? is the procedure the same? Because, existing one does have a 24 passphrase and is hot wallet. How do I then change it to cold wallet with ledger?
Could you please make a video for Trustwalllet?
Great job!! Thanks staff
Is it safe to do this with other wallets like Auro wallet, ICP wallet, or Casper wallet?
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Great video! What if you already have Metamusk set up and you're staking on all networks or this only when setting up for the first time?
Hey there - the most secure way would be setting up a new Metamask account using a Ledger and then transfer your assets into the newly set up account.
@@Ledger When you say account are you referring to creating a new wallet in Metamask or creating a new Metamask account?
@Ledger Do I risk only the token in question I blindsigned for on my ledger device or do I expose my seed phrases and risk all my other assets on my ledger?
Whats the process for connecting to a ledger that already has funds on it to a MM that already has established accounts?
Very curious about this, i have the same question... Got an existing metamask with coins staked in pools wich i can't just withdraw and make a new metamask. Also got a working ledger with funds on it. How do i connect the both so my funds in my metamask are more secure?
@@JW-tm9gs you have to connect ledger, and unstake all funds and sent to ledger and then stake it or lock it again to be secure, everything else is risky
@@JW-tm9gs You can do exactly what he did in this video. You need to understand that all he is doing in this video is allowing himself to use his Ledger through MetaMask. So, this means that in MetaMask he has two SEPARATE accounts - His ledger's address and key and his MetaMask address and key. If the whole metamask account got compromised, the attacker would only have access to the funds on the MetaMask account not the Ledger Account, because the key to sign the Ledger account's transactions is stored on the device which would be disconnected.
If you want your funds on your MetaMask account to be secure, you'll need to send them over to your ledger account. It's as simple as selecting your MetaMask account with funds on it, clicking 'SEND,' and pasting your LEDGER address as the destination (first making sure both accounts are on the same network, e.g. Ethereum Mainnet).
@@LachlanGB thanks LB that answers my question above.
@@Ken_Chuks no worries
Thank you for this video. You cover the Ethereum wallet but is there any resource for assets on Polygon, BSC or Avax networks?

Once you have a ledger/hardware wallet...the 1st stage was like an ' outer shell ' of the 2 layer line-of- defense of using the Metamask wallet.It's simple actually but I guess for noobs...it's a whole new world for them.
What happens if you need to access your Ledger account via that Metamask wallet in a different browser/computer but you don't have the seed phrase because you didn't save it (per Kyle's video)?
great video! is that means that with Ledger (cold wallet), you need to access to the device in real person to transfer asset? In another word, it is impossible for hacker to access to your asset without accessing the Ledger device. Just to be clear as I plan to get a Ledger. Please advise.
Hi there, You are correct! Your device pairs with Ledger Live and you require your device to manage your assets or buy new ones. This means your private keys are offline and safe from hacks!
@@Ledger thanks for your reply!
Did the same steps, but my metamask just connects with the sites without asking me to sign it on the ledger..
if i do this , is also all other networks like bnb on metamask secured?
Hello I'm new. Can you use the ledger for a different wallet even after you linked it to your metamask or would you need a separate ledger if you used it with another wallet.
Very good videos by you. Thanks! Now I face an issue when connecting the ledger and doing this from Firefox on ubuntu where metamask says I have to set security.webauth.u2f to true in :aboutconfig . It still fails with the same error. Any comment from you is welcome.
if i want to recover the ledger account in MM, wich recovery phrase will it ask for? THX for your help!
Wait, at 4:18, why would one have a list of accounts on a ledger that is BRAND NEW?? Where do those accounts populate from??
By setting up metamask (1:11) an account is automatically created. He then creates a new account that associates his Ledger to metamask due to the reasons explained. Tip: watch the video while doing it yourself and pause as needed.
The Ledger does not have to be new - it creates a new account in MM when connected as a hardware device. All the account keys that you see in the video just come from installing the ETH app via the Ledger Live, just pick one; then the MM interface reads that and that is the new one protected by the Ledger that you will use, instead of the auto-created MM one embedded in the browser.
So it sounds like we can NOT safeguard existing assets on Metamask?
How to delete the original MetaMask account and. Start over if you’ve shared your keys to ledger?
what do u do if u have an existing meta mask account with nft's and also etherium and how do u connect meta mask to protect the nft's and etherium? thanks.
I don't suppose there is a chance you could make a video about transferring your current MetaMask accounts into a new ledger. I know AXION Official did a similar video, but reading the comments, some were saying there were flaws and vulnerabilities in the way they showed it.
I think there are many here that already have many coins staking with MetaMask and want to protect those accounts with the ledger, rather than add a ledger account to an already existing MM wallet.....I hope that makes sense. As far as I'm aware if you already have a Ledger with coins on, then you will need a new Ledger to transfer your existing MetaMask onto i.e. enter your existing MetaMask seed phrase onto the Ledger.....basically One seed phrase per Ledger...
Is this possible? would really appreciate a video showing how to do this....thanks
You need to understand that all he is doing in this video is allowing himself to use his Ledger through MetaMask. So, this means that in MetaMask he has two SEPARATE accounts - His ledger's address and key and his MetaMask address and key. Okay, so if you are asking, "I have funds on my MetaMask that I want to move to my ledger," it's as simple as selecting your MetaMask account with funds on it, clicking 'SEND,' and pasting your LEDGER address as the destination (first making sure both accounts are on the same network, e.g. Ethereum Mainnet).
I hope this helps you.
1. What does it mean when they say nano s you can install 3 apps vs compare to nano x you can install 100 apps? Are the apps token?
2. Is nano s limited to the number of tokens it can hold?
3. How do you log out of the ledger wallet using metamask? Is there a log out button or do you just pull it out?
4. How do you enable blind signing and what is it?
5. Can you use the ledger wallet and add to multiple metamask wallet? Or is it one ledger for one metamask wallet?
6. Can I add multiple wallet eg metamask, trust wallet to my ledger?
7. Is there another setting I should enable that everyone seems to miss?
8. Will I be able to see all my tokens in my ledger in the ledger live app?
Much appreciated
Is there a way to do this for MetaMask mobile? Been looking everywhere and can’t find nothing!
Can I use ledger with current metamask or is it only work with new wallet?
Can this same procedure be used in MM with Ledger for a BNB BSC account for those BEP-20 tokens? If so, then you just switch from ETH to BSC as needed, right? And Ledger Live must be closed too?
explained perfectly
what if i already have metamask setup and have crypto on metamask, is it safe to do this process still or should i make a new metamsk accouint and move everthing there?
Why do you say account 1 is unsafe? How is it different to any other Metamask account, surely unless someone knows your passcode they can't access your Crytpo or NFT's.
Is there a way to retrospectively secure account 1 with Ledger to make it safe?
Great vid by the way.
I’m no expert but I believe he’s saying it is unsafe because he publicly showed the recovery phase for that account. If he didn’t show that, then that account will be as secure as any online (hot) wallet.
So, if I already had a metamask account, is it safe to add the ledger accounts the way you’ve shown? Or should I be setting up an entirely new Mm account(I’m not sure that’s possible even to have 2 separate MM accounts in one browser)?
Hi, you can add your Ledger accounts in your current metamask setup. You'll see Ledger next to the account that is secured by your device. Here is a guide to help you add your accounts.
support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404366864657-How-to-access-your-Ledger-Ethereum-ETH-account-via-Metamask?docs=true
thank you. this was very helpful.
one question tho... when i connect my ledger nano x to MM it shows me multiple ETH addresses, although i have only created one so far. is this normal? shouldn't the ledger be empty/clean in the beginning?
Hello, Don't worry all those addresses belong to you since they are linked to your 24 words recovery phrase. We hope this helps.
thank you for your reply.
i have two more questions.
1: i set up ledger live on two devices (desktop and mobile phone). i then labeled an account within the ledger live app on my phone. that label does not transfer to the desktop app. is that as expected? or is there a way to sync these?
2: the ethereum address for my ledger account has an ENS domain set as primary. can this also be displayed automatically within the app?
thank you in advance.
Hello, happy to help!
1. You can install and use Ledger Live on multiple computers and/or smartphones. Please note that Ledger Live does not use a centralized database with your accounts and settings, so you will have to manually edit/add your accounts on each Ledger Live setup.
2. Ledger Live cannot display the ENS domain name yet. However, we have forwarded your feedback to our engineering team for review.
Can ERC20 tokens not available to see on ledger live but held on the ledger wallet show up in Meta Mask this way (similar to showing up on myetherwallet)? So you can interact with dApps with the ledger device held ERC20 token?
Quick question: what happens if I loose the ledger and lets say also the computer with the Metamask wallet? In that case I would need a) the 12 recovery phrase for Metamask PLUS buying a new ledger, putting the same 24 recovery words and connect it again with the Metamask. Is this correct?
Hey! So in this case, the steps would be as follows:
1. Restore your Ledger 24-word recovery phrase into your new Ledger device
2. Boot a new MetaMask account, you can either use your old MetaMask 12-word recovery phrase or create a new one - the only recovery phrase that matters is your Ledger recovery phrase
3. Connect your Ledger device to MetaMask.
Your old Ledger accounts will appear in MetaMask & you're good to go!
@@Ledger Thank you!! Finally a video that explains everything correctly!
What if I have say, some TIME tokens already in my Metamask. I just bought a Nano S. Do I set up Etherium app on my Nano, then transfer this TIME there (as TIME is on the AVAX network)? THanks
Hi Sir, good day. The video was awesome. Do you think you can make a video how to protect my BNB token and other token on BSC network using existing MM and with a Ledger nano S please, I just got a Ledger nano S and I don’t know how to set it up. I keep losing a token due to I been a victim on a Phishing site and now I can’t transfer my NFT account to a new MM. If possible you can help us out it would be a life saver.
I already had a MM account, before I installed the chrome extention. That’s why I clicked on „No, I already have a recovery phrase“ to import that existing account. After that step I linked my ledger to the imported MM account as described in the video with the same result (second account named „ledger“ occurred).
Is this way also ok or could it be a safety issue ?
Yes that is 100% safe. As long as you did not enter your Ledger recovery seed phrase into the MM wallet you are fine. If you are not sure there is simple way to test this. Log into your MM wallet and try to send funds from you Ledger 1 account without your Ledger device being connected. If this fails then you never imported via the recovery seed phase your Ledger hardware wallet ETH accounts into MM only just connected the wallet which is fine.
But where on mm can I see my nfts that I have saved on ledger? Please answer me 🥺
Are you on your desktop or your phone? NFT's can only be visible from LedgerLive on desktop right now, our mobile function is coming very soon!
@@Ledger thank you, I can see them on ledger live app
Do i need to do anything on the setting of the ledger itself? Like allowing something?
Hi there, once your Ledger hardware wallet is set up the first time, you simply need to follow the instructions in this video to set up Metamask. 😊
Hi, thank you so much for the video, quick question, when I do this is it ok if it says “Ledger” instead of “Hardware” on the right side of the ledger account when you open metamask?
Hi! Indeed, we know that depending on the version of your ETH app, the Ledger-protected account in MetaMask can be displayed either as "Hardware" or as "Ledger". This is therefore expected, and you don't have to worry about it. 😉
IMPORTANT: Remember that it’s incredibly important that your recovery phrase is never entered into your computer or smartphone, ever. This also means that you shouldn’t be setting up your Ledger with a recovery phrase that came from these devices either!
If we keep the Ledger on and open on the Etherium Mainnet app will other networks such as Smart Chain for BNB work ?
Hello, That is correct indeed. You can manage all EVM networks using the ETH app when you use your Ledger device with Metamask.
Hello, thanks for this tutorial. Is there a way to contact you if I wanted to pay for some personal consulting?
Great video! If a hacker is able to access the Primary Metamask account, can they still mess around or lock you out of your Ledger 1 account?
They could only delete your ledger account in Metamask (but does not mean at all that you loose the founds, it only means you can´t see them) So once you buy a new computer/install everything again you just connect it again and you will see everything :) hope that helps
Question what happens if you were to send ethereum to a different wallet on metamask will the balance update on ledger live and can you send balance to a different wallet on ledger live and can you send balance to a different wallet on ledger live
Hello, If you are using Metamask to access your Ledger ETH account then ETH balance will update in Ledger Live. And it is possible to send your ETH from one Ledger ETH accout to another within Ledger Live app.
So why in the metamask iOS app is it only showing me the unused metamask hot wallet, and not my ledger s one? The chrome extension shows both accounts, metamask iOS app only shows the “unsafe” default wallet address… MM has been unhelpful, maybe ledger can help?
How can I connect my ledger and MetaMask on my iPhone?

Did you set up your device using the best practice?
Meaning, setup PIN, generated 24 words recovery phrase from your Ledger device, and then establish a genuine check after connecting to Ledger Live?
After that, if you want to connect your device to Metamask's interface for example on the Chrome browser, you should do it safely through these steps and not by importing/exporting you 24 words ever: support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404366864657-Set-up-and-use-MetaMask-to-access-your-Ledger-Ethereum-ETH-account?docs=true

@@Ledger Your reply helped. I have successfully done this before ( migrating Metamask to Ledger }.However I didn't add additional accounts at that time. Now it appears that I'm missing one step because the Ledger is pairing but it isn't locating the newer wallet .
What do you mean by migrating your Metamask to Ledger? If you meant that you had funds on hot wallet MM before, then you got your Ledger Nano and set-it up as a new wallet, and then do on-chain transfers from your MM hot wallet accounts, to your Ledger protected cold wallet accounts (protected by the 24 words recovery phrase) Then you are all good.
What accounts you want to add?
You should connect your device to Ledger Live, install an app from your manager's tab (ex: BTC) then head over to account's tab to add one for it. After adding the respective account, you should be able to generate a receive address of that coin support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404389453841-Receive-crypto-assets?docs=true

How do you add additional wallets created on MetaMask to ledger Eth account? I have my main account listed but want to add my other accounts. Thank you
Hi, it is not possible to add your Metamask account in Ledger Live since it is linked to your MM 12 words seed phrase. If you want to add your Ledger ETH account that you're accessing via Metamask then you can simply add them like you did your first ETH account. Please note that Ledger Live does not allow you to add multiple empty accounts. Your first ETH account should be funded with some ETH so that you can add more ETH accounts. We hope this helps.

Hi there! Here is a great resource to help with blind signing: www.ledger.com/academy/cryptos-greatest-weakness-blind-signing-explained
Hi Kyle, Potentially dumb questions, but, all tokens need to be sent to the ledger manually upon initial hardware connection before this migration can be done right? There is no way to transfer an entire existing meta mask account to ledger in one simple move?
Hey there, the purpose of a cold wallet is to generate your recovery phrase offline and on spot in which only you can see it and own it and never share it with anyone but yourself! support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000380313-Manage-your-private-keys-own-your-crypto?docs=true
Set up your device using the best practice:
- set up PIN
- generate 24 words recovery phrase from device
- establish a genuine check connection with Ledger Live
- install ETH app from manager's tab and add an account for it
Then connect your device to Metamask's interface the proper way! support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404366864657-Set-up-and-use-MetaMask-to-access-your-Ledger-Ethereum-ETH-account?docs=true
Please, never enter your 12 words recovery phrase from Metamask onto a Ledger, it will not secure your Ledger
and never compromise your 24 words of Ledger onto a hot wallet because they will be considered compromised!
When you connect your Ledger device on Metamask's interface, you are just using their front-end while everything remains protected by your Ledger device!
I hope this better clarifies
I remain available shall you have any further questions.

Hi! You're not supposed to restore a Ledger device with a Metamask-generated recovery phrase, because it's been generated online (not safe). You should set up the device as new, generate a random recovery phrase, and then connect your device to MetaMask:

nope, you'll need to move the funds over to the ledger.
