Once your Bitcoin account is added, you can view your Bitcoin balance and transaction history directly in Ledger Live. This gives you a clear overview of your holdings and past transactions.

Security Best Practices

. Keeping Your Recovery Phrase Secure

Your recovery phrase is the key to your wallet. Never share it with anyone and store it offline in a secure location. If someone gains access to your recovery phrase, they can access your funds.

. Regular Firmware Updates

Keep your Ledger device and Ledger Live application updated to the latest versions. Firmware updates often include important security enhancements and new features.

. Enabling Passphrase Protection

For advanced security, consider enabling the passphrase protection feature on your Ledger device. This adds an additional layer of security by requiring a passphrase along with your PIN code to access your wallet.

. Avoiding Phishing Attacks

Be vigilant against phishing attempts. Always ensure you are accessing the official Ledger website and Ledger Live application. Do not click on suspicious links or provide your recovery phrase or personal information to unknown sources.
