b. Attach to PIN code: You can choose any PIN code, but you need to enter
the passphrase you've set up earlier to access the accounts protected by
that passphrase.
Passphrase security in practice
Plausible deniability
To protect yourself in case of physical threat, make sure your primary PIN code unlocks
only a minor part of your crypto assets. Then set up a passphrase attached to a PIN
code and store more significant amount of crypto assets on the passphrase-protected
accounts.
If you are under duress to unlock your Ledger Nano X, you can surrender your main PIN
code to the attacker while hiding the PIN code that unlocks your passphrase-protected
accounts.
Recovery phrase protection
It’s a good security practice to keep multiple copies of your Recovery sheet and to store
them in different geographic locations. To mitigate the risk of losing your crypto assets if
one of the copies of your recovery phrase is compromised, you can set up a passphrase.
If you do so, make sure to store paper backups of your passphrase, preferably in
geographic locations that are different from the locations where you keep a backup of
your recovery phrase.
