What is Ledger Recover?

Ledger Recover is a new service offered by Ledger, in collaboration with Coincover, to help customers regain access to their digital assets if they have lost or misplaced their Secret Recovery Phrase. This service is launched exclusively for Ledger Nano X and is designed to back up your Secret Recovery Phrase, linking it to your verified identity.

How does Ledger Recover work?

Your identity is verified through your ID document and a selfie recording.
Your Ledger Nano X duplicates and encrypts your Secret Recovery Phrase. 1. This encrypted version serves as a backup.
2. This backup is linked to your verified identity.
3. The backup is fragmented into three pieces and each piece is secured independently by Ledger, Coincover, and a third provider.

With Ledger Recover, your identity becomes the key to your wallet. You alone can start the recovery process, which is ensured using double ID verification. The service is designed with no compromise to your self-custody and security is enhanced by companies with industry-leading encryption and ID verification technology.

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, subject to investigation, a $50,000 compensation may be available from Coincover. This service aims to address the common issue of losing or misplacing the Secret Recovery Phrase, providing a reliable solution to regain access to your digital assets.
