FAQs
What is a hardware wallet and why do I need one?
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. This is the most secure way to protect your digital assets from online threats like hacking, phishing, and malware. It gives you full control over your funds.
How many apps can I install on the Nano S Plus?
The Nano S Plus can store up to 100 applications simultaneously, but the exact number depends on the size of each application. Some larger apps may take up more space, reducing the total number that can be installed.
What is the recovery phrase and why is it important?
The 24-word recovery phrase is your master key to your crypto assets. It is generated when you set up your hardware wallet for the first time. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, this phrase is the only way to recover your funds onto a new device.

How do I keep my Ledger Nano S Plus secure?
Keep your device physically secure, never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone, and always verify transactions on the device screen before confirming. Ensure your Ledger Live software is always up to date.
Does the Nano S Plus come with pre-loaded crypto?

Troubleshooting
Device not recognized by computer
Ensure you are using the official USB-C cable. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer and the device. Verify that you have installed the correct drivers if prompted by Ledger Live.

Cannot install applications
Check the available storage space on your device. Delete unused applications via Ledger Live to free up space. Ensure your Ledger Live application and device firmware are up to date.
Transaction not appearing or failing
Ensure your device and Ledger Live are synchronized. Check your internet connection. Verify that the transaction details (address, amount) are correct and that you have sufficient funds, including network fees. Try re-broadcasting the transaction if possible through Ledger Live.
