Device software

Required device app: Security Key

Requires Ledger OS 2.1.0 or later

Ledger’s app catalog lists version 1.6.5

Connection

USB only for registration and sign-in

Bluetooth is not supported for security-key registration or sign-in.

Phone requirements

Security-key sign-in is unavailable on iPhone

Ledger lists Chrome on Android 14, with the Google Play system update dated March 1, 2024 or later. Firefox on Android is unsupported.

Website requirements

Passkeys stored on the key (resident or discoverable credentials) are not supported.

A compatible service and browser are required.

The device must also be registered as a security key with the website; installing the app alone does not register it.

Credentials from the older Ledger FIDO U2F app do not work with the Security Key app. Register the device as a new security key while keeping another working sign-in method.

Credential recovery

Ledger documents restoring the Security Key app’s credentials on a new or reset Ledger set up with the same 24 recovery words. This does not cover resident credentials.

Keep another working sign-in method before relying on recovery.
