Title: Ledger Nano X Post by: andy.arden on April 06, 2024, 09:26:43 AM Hi mates,
I do have several wallets and i would like to add a Ledger to the collection too. I know all the debate with the Ledger Recovery thing and i think that is a totally irresponsible way to sign away your seed. BUT, i do like the fact that you can connect Ledger with 1Inch directly on IOS. So now i want to ask you what you think of the following thing i want to do: 1. I get the Ledger and connect it to Ledger Live to install the ETH app (mainly i would use to store USDC and swap with WBTC on Arbitrum network, just like trading but not on CEX). 2. Disconnect from Live and ONLY AFTER create a Passphrase -> i do hope that will keep the new wallet hidden EVEN IF they find out my seed for example, right?? 3. Use the Passphrase wallet with the 1inch app with Bluetooth on my iPhone, or with other Wallets if possible (?) In your opinion and from what you mostly know maybe being more experienced in HW wallets, would that be a safe practice? Thanks in advance!

Nothing should be consider safe enough with ledger devices, and there were some cases of people losing their coins after they connected ledger with metamask wallet and gave permissions, even if ledger was not connected physically anymore.There are plenty of open source alternatives for ledger devices:
