Creating Your Recovery Phrase
During setup, your Ledger device will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase.
This phrase is the master backup for your wallet. If your device is lost, stolen,
or damaged, you can restore your assets using this phrase.

Ledger will never ask for it. Store it offline in a secure location.
