Hi, thanks for making the video. I was wondering if I lose my ledger nano x and the laptop I originally installed ledger live on but still have the seed phrase. Can i still access my different wallets because I don't have their private key so how would I be able to readd them? Thanks

[vgetaOFFICIAL]

so if you lose both laptop and physical ledger device, you can install ledger live into a new computer, buy a new ledger nano s and you can recover your account by inputting the 24 word seed phrase from your original ledger account?

is there a limit to how many times you can recover your seed phrase?


Also how often would you recommend checking ledger for updates? (i.e weekly/bi weekly/monthly.) I know that some people have had issues accessing assets cause their ledger isnt fully up to date.
Apologies for all the questions but im sure others have a similar mindset and you seem to be most responsive on youtube which is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What happens if the Ledger was tempered between the Ledger factories and the shipment and customs, I mean it passes through lots of hands before it get client. And the person just switch is on to get the seed phase words then he or she can get a new Ledger and configure with ur seeds

Hi.. How would I know that Ledger didnt install a "backdoor" to steal my crypto? It closed source right?

Hi. Thank you for your video. If I already have a Nano X can I buy Nano S and use it as a back up and do a Restore with the same recovery phrase?

[xinchao]

Thank you. I have a question. Is my private key being stored on the Ledger server?

[conlomerate]

If I can use the same recovery phrase to match and access my keys or data, that means it is stored somewhere on your servers. That means you, Ledger, has access my recovery phrase. How is this secure?

Hi. I have a bag of XRP in my nano x. How many XRP can be stored on 1 nano x?

[liushou]

So what happens if ledger company fail and shutdown? Can I recovered my crypto with another device from another company?

[juaniniveaways]

I have a question. If I buy a preowned ledger nano x and it has a seed phrase, can I reset it? Maybe changing the seed phrase or I dont know. Just to be sure that the last owner won't have access to my funds.

[safadesigners]

What if we lose ledger Nano X or S and we have seed phrase but we don't have new ledger device to restore it and i want to withdraw my fund at same day can i use that seed phrase on meta mask or any other wallet to get my ledger coins there? is there any other option?

[capturedbyfabian]

I have a question 🙋‍♂️. I assume the answer is yes but can I mix and match nanos. Ex. I have a Nano X that I carry so I can do things from my phone but can I have a Nano S Plus as backup at home with the same account?

[danimoh]

The title is wrong. This is Ian, not the other guy :D

[charithagoonewardena]

Is this applicable for all nano ledgers? I have a nano S. It's the same with that as well yeah?

[Johnlondon]

So this mean that these devices like credit card And actually you guys holding the asset ! when this is the case - why bothers to have devices when there are online wallets

[chrisschmitt]

what happens if you forget your seed passwords

[thesocialartsclub]

So...aren't we back to where we started? Your recover phrase is written on a piece of paper. Isn't that the same as a paper wallet??
