Ledger Nano S Plus - Crypto Hardware Wallet - Black

The Ledger Nano S Plus is a classic in the realm of cryptocurrency hardware wallets, and it has certainly earned its reputation. As a seasoned techie in the crypto space, I've had my fair share of experiences with various wallets, and the Nano S Plus continues to impress. First and foremost, its security features are good. The utilization of a secure element for storing private keys, bolstered by a PIN code, guarantees that your crypto assets are virtually impervious to online threats.

The utilization of a secure element for storing private keys, bolstered by a PIN code, guarantees that your crypto assets are virtually impervious to online threats. It's the kind of robust security that fellow techies like myself can truly appreciate, knowing that our digital wealth is safeguarded with military-grade encryption. Setting up the device was fairly straight forward, thanks to the intuitive user interface. Even though I enjoy diving into the technical intricacies of blockchain technology, I appreciate a device that doesn't overcomplicate the setup process. Ledger has struck the perfect balance between security and user-friendliness. The only down side is the “speed” of the device, which seemed slow. The support for a wide range of cryptocurrencies is a big plus. The device supports over 5,500 currencies. As a techie, I often dabble in various digital assets, and the Nano S plus’ versatility in this regard is invaluable. It's like having a Swiss Army knife for managing your crypto portfolio. One feature that really stands out is the ability to generate a recovery seed. In the tech world, we know the importance of backups, and having a secure, offline way to recover your wallet is a smart move. The inclusion of three recovery sheets ensures you won't ever be locked out of your crypto, even if the device is lost or damaged. Lastly, kudos to Ledger for the regular firmware updates. It had a firmware update after plugging it in for the first time. It's a testament to their commitment to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to security and ensuring compatibility with new cryptocurrencies.

Awesome hardware wallet!

This is a great hardware wallet, with simplicity and security being put first and foremost. It can't be hacked by design. Ledger's app and process to setup the wallet is also great. Setup is simple and if you're new to a hardware wallet I can say that this is the perfect one to start out with, you simply connect it to your PC, setup the security and write down your backup code and then start adding your coins through the app. It's that simple. The display on the device works well, and is easy to read and navigation is not bad. It's small and can fit easily on a keychain so you can have it where ever you go (which can be good if you don't lose things and bad if you lose things a lot in which case I would put a tile or airtag with it - hey Ledger - why not make your ... MoreThis is a great hardware wallet, with simplicity and security being put first and foremost.

First I don't like how it swivels as I could see issues with that down the road as it reminds me of an expensive flash drive I had that fell apart after being opened so many times and a touch screen would have been welcomed which would have made navigation even simpler with swipes and taps. Outside of that I think this wallet was designed well and the app even better. The app is clean and easy to use and understand.On a side note, as for the backup code.... having that code wrote down is the biggest risk to security of the wallet!! You can't treat it like any normal document or paper and literally need to treat it like it's cash as it's the only thing that could help you recover your wallet should your device get lost or destroyed somehow. Should you lose it, your hardware key becomes worthless, and you lose your wallet either to never be recovered or to be stolen if someone realizes what it is if the paper is found. I really don't like that Ledger provided a sheet that makes it super obvious what the code is and what device it's for!! I wrote mine on a plain piece of paper twice, one for the safe and one for the safety deposit box at the bank. That way, anyone who sees it, won't know immediately what it is and what hardware wallet it might belong to. Second is a sticker, why on earth would I want to advertise Ledger and let people know I have a hardware wallet they could steal.Overall, this is great and if you have a wallet on your phone, I'd recommend ditching that and going for this! It's much more secure and to me is just as easy to use!

However, recent revelations regarding a potential backdoor for Ledger Recovery have raised significant privacy concerns. This critical review aims to shed light on these concerns and evaluate the impact they have on the overall security and trustworthiness of the Ledger Nano S.The primary issue revolves around the presence of a backdoor that enables Ledger Recovery, a feature intended to restore access to funds in case of device loss or damage. While this may sound like a convenient option, it inadvertently compromises the fundamental principle of privacy that users expect from a hardware wallet.The presence of a backdoor implies that there is a possibility for unauthorized access to the device. This raises questions about the level of control Ledger holds over the private keys stored on the device. Users rightly expect complete ownership and control over their funds, but the existence of a backdoor introduces the potential for external interference or surveillance, undermining the very essence of decentralization.The inclusion of a backdoor raises concerns about the overall trustworthiness of Ledger as a company. Users rely on hardware wallets to safeguard their cryptocurrencies from hacking attempts and malicious actors. By introducing a potential vulnerability, Ledger has created doubt in the minds of users regarding the integrity of their product.Furthermore, the security of a hardware wallet lies in its ability to protect private keys. With the backdoor, it becomes harder to determine if the private keys stored on the Ledger Nano S are truly secure. Users have the right to demand transparency and assurance that their private keys remain confidential and inaccessible to anyone other than themselves.While Ledger Recovery may provide a convenient solution for recovering lost funds, it comes at the expense of compromising privacy. Users who prioritize privacy and security might find it difficult to justify the inclusion of such a feature if it potentially exposes their assets to external threats.Moreover, the presence of a backdoor adds complexity to the user experience. The need to navigate and manage recovery processes can be confusing for less technically inclined individuals. This could inadvertently lead to mistakes or unintentional exposure of private keys, defeating the purpose of using a hardware wallet in the first place.The Ledger Nano S, once regarded as a top-tier hardware wallet, has faced criticism due to the privacy concerns raised by the inclusion of a backdoor for Ledger Recovery. This compromise in privacy, coupled with the potential implications for trust, security, and user experience, calls into question the overall reliability and integrity of the device. Users should carefully evaluate their priorities and consider alternative hardware wallet options that prioritize privacy and ensure complete control over their funds.

Great hardware Crypto Wallet

The Ledger Nano S Plus crypto hardware wallet is a great little device. I am relatively new to crypto, but had been hearing about hardware wallets a lot recently, and was curious what they were all about. The Ledger Nano S Plus is relatively easy to set up, and takes about 30 minutes. It comes with a USB-C cable, 3 cards to write down your 24 word recovery phrase, and a little keychain. The device itself has an LCD screen and two navigation buttons. Even though it has a screen, it doesn't have a battery or anything, and only works when plugged in. To set it up, you download the Ledger Live app to your computer, and it walks you through everything step by step. It's all very simple.

To set it up, you download the Ledger Live app to your computer, and it walks you through everything step by step. It's all very simple. Part of this process is writing down your 24 word recovery phrase. It makes you write it down, and then re-enter it to confirm, so be sure to write it down and not just skip over this step. It's very important you have these words accurate in case you ever need to recover your key. And of course, keep the card safe and secure where no one can get it. After everything is set up, you can add "apps" to the device for each coin you want to use. Again, the app really makes it all very simple. The main thing I like about the Ledger Nano S is it's security. Even when it is plugged in, your key is offline, so it is very secure. Your key lives offline, so you and you alone own it and are in control of it. From what I've been reading about keeping your key on an exchange is that you have very little control if that exchange were to get hacked or shut down or something. Having your key locked away in a physical object that you control is so much more secure. I am very happy with the Ledger Nano S, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a hardware crypto wallet, or anyone even just curious about getting into crypto.

Great to secure Crypto, not so much to buy it

I have been investing in Crypto for a handful of years. I purchased and held them in a popular exchange. I recently became concerned with my Crypto holdings as I saw a note that if the exchange were to collapse, I would lose my holdings. This got me looking into hardware wallets.With a hardware wallet, your Crypto holdings stay on the Blockchain (like a banking ledger), but you hold the ultimate keys to transact. Since your hardware wallet remains offline most of the time, it's far less likely to get hacked.I had looked at the previous Ledger Nano S, but that had a very limited amount of memory to store very few different types of Crypto. Luckily, the Ledger Nano S Plus can hold hundreds more different types of Crypto.In the box, you get the Ledger Nano S ... MoreI have been investing in Crypto for a handful of years.

This got me looking into hardware wallets.With a hardware wallet, your Crypto holdings stay on the Blockchain (like a banking ledger), but you hold the ultimate keys to transact. Since your hardware wallet remains offline most of the time, it's far less likely to get hacked.I had looked at the previous Ledger Nano S, but that had a very limited amount of memory to store very few different types of Crypto. Luckily, the Ledger Nano S Plus can hold hundreds more different types of Crypto.In the box, you get the Ledger Nano S Plus, a few pages of documentation, a nearly 20-inch USB-A to USB-C cable, a keychain loop and three secret recovery sheets. These recovery sheets are meant to be used to record your recovery keys and then stored in 3 geographically disparate locations (e.g. safety deposit boxes on separate continents). The Ledger Nano S Plus has a small screen, two input buttons and a USB-C port. The port is a little tighter than I expected, so I had to put a little more force to insert the USB-C cable than I expected. The input buttons are used to scroll through the display and pressing both buttons simultaneously typically acts like an enter key.Setup of the Ledger Nano S Plus involves downloading and installing the Ledger Live application. Since this Nano S Plus does not have Bluetooth, installing on a mobile device wasn't desirable for me. I installed it on my desktop first and then later installed it on my laptop. Throughout the process to obtain your recovery keys and PIN code, you get the sense that the device is very secure. The setup process does take some time, so be sure to block out 30 minutes to perform this setup.Setting up the wallet to be able to hold different types of Crypto was interesting. Ledger calls each separate Crypto an App. As I was setting these different apps, I had to validate different steps on the Ledger Nano S Plus device itself. I quickly realized that I should do this on a laptop instead of stooping down towards my desktop on the floor since the USB cable is only 20 inches long.When I ordered this Ledger Wallet, I intended to transfer all my holdings from the exchange to my wallet. Sadly this is not available for everything. While it supports the most popular Cryptos, I have accumulated a few pennies of various esoteric Cryptos that are available on my exchange's wallet that are not available in the Ledger Wallet. For those various Cryptos, their developers need to work with Ledger's API to gain compatibility. So there is a good chance that some of the less popular ones will never be supported by Ledger.One of my tests for this Ledger Wallet was to transfer a small amount (5 USD) from my exchange account to my Ledger Wallet. I was pleased with the amount of security required to confirm this transaction and it went through in a couple minutes with a nominal transaction fee.Since I was taking a little while to get through this, I found out that the Ledger has a screen saver for its little screen, it's just the Ledger "L" logo that pops up several instances and moves across its screen.The second test is where I really got frustrated with the Ledger system. I wanted to purchase some Ethereum directly to my Ledger Wallet. This would allow me to minimize the transaction fees as I would be purchasing Crypto without having the pay the purchasing fee and then a transfer fee from the exchange to the Ledger Wallet.Purchases can be accomplished via 1 of 4 payment processors. I started with Coinify. After setting up the desired purchase transaction and entering my information, I indicated that I live in Michigan and then it errored saying that Coinify does not service Michigan yet. So I moved on to MoonPay, I got through further and was able to enter my credit card information and that's when I got the message that it checked my credit card number and it would not be able to use my credit card (this message comes up before I can add in my expiration or security code). I tried several more credit cards and they all had the same message. I looked briefly at BTC Direct and found they only transact in Euros. I skipped this because I didn't want to pay a foreign transaction fee on top of the purchase fee. Then I tried Wyre. Wyre only allows ACH transfers. I got through further on this system than any of the other payment processors and when I selected Bank of America, it said that it could not communicate with the bank. I then selected Fidelity and after entering my Fidelity credentials, it came back with a message that the transaction could only be made during certain times of the day.A couple hours later, I went back into Ledger Live, and then back into Wyre. It asks to create a new account with no option to use an existing account. As I entered my new account information, I got a "cannot remove last identity of that type". So in the end, I cannot get any of the payment processors to work more efficiently than purchasing on my exchange account and then transferring to the Ledger Wallet.In the end, if you're just looking to secure your holdings in the most popular Cryptos, the Ledger Nano S Plus hardware wallet is fine. But if you have holdings in less popular Cryptos, it likely won't be supported by this wallet. And if you want to purchase Cryptos using the Ledger system, you're likely to be out of luck like me unless you have the right kind of credit card or bank account.

Must have if you serious about crypto

Cryptocurrencies are entering our life rapidly and proper security is essential for a crypto success. Web sites get broken into, computers crash and get infected, phones get lost. How would you make sure your crypto stash is safe? This little device is meant to help with that. It's not like a flash drive to store your private key, it's really a small Hardware Security Module that generates your private key once and never lets it get out of the device itself, with the exception of 24 words security phrase that can be used to restore your access. This device will digitally sign your transactions (that your authorize by pressing both buttons on the device at the same time) but would never expose your key to the outside world so it can't be stolen.What if you loose the ... MoreCryptocurrencies are entering our life rapidly and proper security is essential for a crypto success. Web sites get broken into, computers crash and get infected, phones get lost. How would you make sure your crypto stash is safe? This little device is meant to help with that. It's not like a flash drive to store your private key, it's really a small Hardware Security Module that generates your private key once and never lets it get out of the device itself, with the exception of 24 words security phrase that can be used to restore your access. This device will digitally sign your transactions (that your authorize by pressing both buttons on the device at the same time) but would never expose your key to the outside world so it can't be stolen.What if you loose the device? First of all - it's protected by 4 to 8 digit PIN code that you setup as a first step and 3 incorrect attempts would wipe out the entire device (so don't give it to young kids unless you want to test your recovery procedures). However if it really gets lost or wiped out - you have to be sure that you stored that 24 word seed phrase securely (in a safe, deposit box, or other safe place). Don't store it electronically on your computer as if anyone gets this 24 word phrase - they essentially have a full control of your wallet.Device is equipped with 1.29Mb of on-board memory that allows you to pick multiple crypto wallets to safely store (1 wallet takes from 50Kb to about a 100Kb worth of storage), there is no onboard battery (so it won't go bad or overheat in the sun), which means USB-C connection to a computer is required to operate your secure wallet.Would I recommend going thru a hustle of setting up a hardware wallet? I would say yes if you are serious about crypto and storing any significant amount in crypto assets (tokens, coins, NFTs). Just make sure to store that 24 word phrase real good. It does make transfers a little less convenient (receiving crypto is not affected) - but it makes it almost impossible to steal crypto from you.

Portability, and carrying your money in a new way!

It's a sign of the times when you're carrying money you can't see on basically what looks like a flash drive, and not money you can touch and put into a physical wallet.The new Nano S Plus Crypto Wallet is about the size of a small thumb drive, protected by a nice brushed aluminum sleeve that swivels open to display the small black and white digital LCD screen. It has two buttons on the side above the screen that allows you to select and go through all of the prompts and controls.It powers up by USB Type C plug which is a short one is included.

It also comes with a small folder that includes three secret recovery sheets for you to write your twenty-four code words in order down.Those code words are very important because they are thee only way to recover your digital assets if you lose or damage the Nano or in the case that you forget your pin. So I'd definitely put them in a safe and protected place.So setting up everything isn't too bad, the screen itself is tiny, but once you download the app for the computer to complete everything once setting and confirming all of your 24 security words on the Nano, working with the app is much easier.You can choose which apps to download and use. You can read the market and see how things are going as well as keep tabs on your own portfolio. You can send and receive crypto currencies as well and buy and sell.It's not limited to just US currency or language as well as what region you're in, once going into the settings on the Ledger Live app it allows you to really personalize things to fit your personal needs.One thing is I use Coinbase and Robinhood for all of my cryptocurrency needs and neither of these were an option as far as apps to use with the Nano or LedgerLive.Over all it's a pretty cool concept but for me it's a little too small and hard to read personally. I'd recommend to others interested in the concept of what this does.

Secure Digital Wallet

Ledger’s Nano-S Plus is a digital wallet built on a thumb drive that is designed to interface on Web3 by securing cryptocurrencies through the interaction of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). Through the use of their Ledger Live app, the user can Buy, Send & Receive, Exchange, Grow and Sell Crypto directly and securely from the Nano S Plus drive.Setting up the system is a four-step process. First the Nano S Plus needs to be activated and checked for security. Once connected to the computer with the provided cable, the Nano S Plus allows the user to set a pin code. The pin code is the only way to open the account/device.Next, the Nano S Plus goes through a series of twenty-four different words which must be recorded, checked for ... MoreLedger’s Nano-S Plus is a digital wallet built on a thumb drive that is designed to interface on Web3 by securing cryptocurrencies through the interaction of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT).

First the Nano S Plus needs to be activated and checked for security. Once connected to the computer with the provided cable, the Nano S Plus allows the user to set a pin code. The pin code is the only way to open the account/device.Next, the Nano S Plus goes through a series of twenty-four different words which must be recorded, checked for accuracy, and retained. These twenty-four words given the user by the Nano S Plus device is the only way to retrieve the crypto accounts, buy, sell, trade, etc. the assets. The words, the order of the words and the spelling of each should be checked before moving on. The device will then do a self-check to insure it has not been tampered with prior to your use of the Nano S Plus. If everything checks out, then you are ready for the next step.This step involves downloading the app Ledger Live. It is here that the different cryptos can be added. The device allows management of over 5500 digital assets and allows for one hundred at a time to be installed and stored on the Nano S Plus. The Nano will allow you to add the specific apps for the specific cryptocurrency and then you will be able to transfer the cryptocurrency from another platform to the Nano S Plus. The Nano-S Plus allows the user to send and sign NFT transactions with full transparency through Ledger Live.The final step is to transfer your cryptocurrency assets from the platform where they originated. This is a crucial step where all codes must be checked before moving on and before giving the okay for each. If a mistake is made, then the cryptocurrency can be sent to the wrong address and becomes unretrievable.The tokens and NFTs are more secure from hackers by using this digital wallet because they are loaded on to the Nano S Plus thumb drive by use of CC EAL5+ certified secure chip. The Nano S Plus then acts like a vault for your crypto assets. This is much more secure than other platforms on the World-Wide-Web. The downside to this is that if you do not transfer the crypto correctly it will be lost. Also, if you lose the Nano S Plus thumb drive, your crypto will be gone forever if not backed up on another Ledger device (which needs to be purchased separately.) If you need to open your account with the 24-word pin that was generated when the device was set up and you have lost this information, your cryptocurrency will also be gone.The cable provided with the device is too short and hard to use with a desktop. I wish that it were a little bit longer. It is fine with a laptop or phone. The Nano-S Plus device is fairly small, and it operates with only two buttons. It seems to work okay and allows movement through the device by using each button separately. When both are used together, it gives a confirmation of your choice on the screen. The Nano-S Plus will not turn on if it is not connected with the supplied cable to a computerized device.These are the advantages and disadvantages of Ledger’s Nano-S Plus, but we all know the many disadvantages of the security of our personal assets on the web. Given this, the Nano-S Plus is a desirable choice for security of NFTs and tokens over any other available options. One just needs to be meticulous in its use and maintenance, and not misplace any of your notes.

Useful & Secure Crypto Wallet

This crypto wallet does provide a very desirable function to consolidate all your crypto into one device. This particular Nano S Plus sits in the middle of the current array of Ledger devices. It can have as many as 100 installed apps – note these must be the apps the device will recognize. One of the apps I use for Bitcoin for example was not included in the current accepted apps but Ledger does give you an opportunity to request future inclusion – nice touch. In any event, the list of acceptable apps will allow you to manage all your various crypto currencies in one place.Most important is the security of the device.

In any event, the list of acceptable apps will allow you to manage all your various crypto currencies in one place.Most important is the security of the device. A tip of the cap to the Ledger design engineers for using a secure certified chip (CC EAL5+) to ensure your protection is optimized in today’s world.You can install apps on many platforms including Windows, Mac, Android, Apple iOS and even Linux. This device does not have Bluetooth connectivity (the Ledger Nano X does but costs more), so you will need a cable. Oddly the device has a USB C port but the single cable provided works only with a computer USB A port; although the cell phone use is touted. I started to install on my Android cell phone and found at that time that I would need a USB C to USB C cable which was not supplied. This was not optimal since it is very important to do a smooth install to be sure you manage the security of the device. Point is that while installing, the device will generate a 24 word code (called your Secret Recovery Phrase) that you MUST record and not lose. This 24 word code is the only way to recover your assets if you lose/damage your Nano device, or forget your pin. So I was surprised to realize I had to go find the right cable after I installed the app and was ready to connect.The other concern as to installation was that you are warned to very carefully follow the step by step instructions but one of the first things I noticed was even after I installed the app, one instruction popped up to download the app which was already running. My critique is that this is a very sensitive situation so the software designers need to go back through their instructions to eliminate even these types of smaller bits of confusion to ensure confidence in the users for a device that handles financial transactions.Another area of install I would alter is the input of your PIN, I noticed that as you enter a digit it is then blocked from view. In the install situation it would be better to leave the pin digits displayed. You do need to reenter the PIN for verification so that helps. But the designers should realize that you are creating your PIN in a secure environment and it is more important to show the PIN since the user will be wanting full awareness of what is going on. Small point but I think worthy to note.Overall I was satisfied that the device is secure, just needs some tweaking on the install. I like the ability to manage all your crypto currency in one very secure spot. This device is functionally very well designed and I would recommend it.
