Title: How to check nano ledger s plus is genuine?
Post by: jerry0 on May 05, 2023, 08:35:26 PM
Already read the information on ledger site but that is if you set up the nano ledger with ledger live.  Let you say you create a new seed without ledger live opened or logged in.



Now if you got a replacement device and plan to restore your seed in it, if you want to create a new useless seed and then reset the device, how you check it it's genuine?  Assume your ledger live in your laptop is still intact.



Can others here confirm this would be the way?



1.  Connect new nano ledger s plus to laptop with ledger live unopened and not logged in.

2.  Create a new pin, then get a new useless seed phrase you don't need.

3.  Now open ledger live and login ledger live

4.  Click on the my ledger tab on ledger live?  Then click on allow device on your nano ledger s ledger screen?  Now if that works, that is your device is genuine?

5.  Close ledger live
