The 24-word recovery phrase saved during initial setup of your Ledger hardware wallet
fully backs up the private keys providing access to your accounts. You must store it in a
secure place.
● The passphrase is essentially a password added to your 24-word recovery phrase
that provides access to a whole new set of accounts.
● The passphrase protects your crypto assets if your 24-word recovery phrase
were to be compromised. To access passphrase-protected accounts, an attacker
will need your recovery phrase as well as your secret passphrase.
● Each different passphrase unlocks a unique set of accounts. You can use as
many passphrases as you like.
Before you start
✓ Your device is set up and runs the latest firmware.
✓ Ensure your recovery phrase is accessible, just in case.
✓ Read this article fully before you start.
Instructions
Getting started
1. Connect your Ledger Nano X and enter your PIN code.
2. Hold both buttons to access the Control Center.
3. Navigate to the Settings menu.
4. Go to Security.
5. Go to Passphrase and choose either of two options:
○ Attach to PIN: Creates a second PIN code to unlock passphrase-protected
accounts
○ Set temporary: Enter the passphrase each time you wish to access
passphrase-protected accounts
6. Continue with the section below that matches the option you've chosen
Option 1 - Attach to PIN code
How it works
Attaching a passphrase to a new PIN code creates a new set of accounts on your Ledger
Nano X based on a secret passphrase of your choice. You can access the accounts
protected by this passphrase by entering a secondary PIN code.
● The passphrase will be stored on the device until you overwrite it with another
passphrase or until the device is reset.
● Store a physical backup of the secret passphrase in a secure place. The device
cannot display it after you've set it.
