Ledger Launches Recovery Key for Crypto Wallets
Ledger has introduced Recovery Key, a new solution to simplify crypto wallet recovery through a physical 'spare key.' Designed for Ledger's e-ink devices, Flex and Stax, it allows quick access by tapping a card and entering a PIN. With the rise in crypto's popularity, users need modern, secure backup methods. The Recovery Key complements existing recovery options, providing an easily managed backup without intermediaries, directly linked to a user's device via secure wireless technology. This launch accompanies Ledger's device sales milestone of 7.5 million and builds on their previous Ledger Recover service. Despite some community concerns about data security, Ledger emphasizes user control and choice, offering various recovery methods to fit different needs. The Recovery Key code is publicly reviewable, enhancing transparency.
