Paranoid in Bezug auf die Einrichtung von Ledger und künftige Abrufe

The device is irrelevant once you have your 24 word seed set up. If your device gets lost or breaks in the future you can just buy a new one and restore using your 24 seed phrase (and it doesn’t even have to be a Ledger). The device is only there to manage your seed.

I know there is always some paranoia when managing your crypto, but you have followed every step correctly. Just remember that your 24 word seed and passphrase are the only things you need to access your coin. Keep them safe and seperate. But also remember, if you lose one of them your funds are gone.

Also, one thing that people fail to remember. If you have a temporary Passphrase you have to enter it every time you boot up the device in order to access your funds (Unless you’ve attached the Passphrase to a PIN)

Keep a physical copy of the passphrase somewhere.

So long as you have your seed phrase, you can get access to your assets so long as the new device/wallet supports 24 word seeds.

Think of the device as a throwaway piece of hardware that can generate seeds and sign transactions.

What matters is the backup seed. The seed can be re-imported into another wallet in the future to recover everything. Doesn’t even have to be a Ledger wallet.

Once you have the seed, stamp/engrave it into fireproof metal plates. If you’ve gone through the recovery process already then you’re confident the seed is correct. You’re safe.

Yeah, that’s good. Keep the seed phrase safe and verify you can restore using it.

People tend to over think things. If it makes you happy, great, but don’t shoot yourself in the foot trying be bullet proof. You’re more likely to lose your wallet than be the target of an elaborate plot to steal your crypto, and even then, they’ll use a $5 wrench.

Which bring up the another tip. Don’t talk about your crypto.

I, too, being paranoid, triple-check by resetting the device and restoring the recovery as an added measure to check that the key meets with the key recorded before resetting. (It’s nice that Ledger first setup already builds a check into the first setup. In the original version long ago, it used to be only one pass.)

i wouldn’t have done that for step 2, i think you could have used something long but easier to remember
