  One of the recommended security measures when using Ledger Live on multiple devices is to enable the 2-factor authentication (2FA) feature. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step, such as a code sent to your mobile device, in addition to your password. By enabling 2FA, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your digital assets.

  In addition to enabling 2FA and keeping your software up to date, it is crucial to practice good password hygiene. Avoid using weak or easily guessable passwords, and consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely. Using unique and strong passwords for each online account, including Ledger Live, adds an extra layer of protection.

  To further enhance the security of your digital assets, consider using a hardware wallet like Ledger in combination with Ledger Live. Hardware wallets provide an additional layer of protection by keeping your private keys offline and away from potential online threats. By using Ledger Live with a hardware wallet, you can securely manage and transact with your digital assets.
