Ledger Nano X

The latest update Ledger Nano X firmware (2.2.1) includes a service called "Ledger Recover".  This means your seed can leave the device if you opt in. But who knows it is already there or not. The point is, the seed of a hardware wallet can leave the device. This is a really big problem. If you have the device, do not update it. If you are thinking to have a new one, think again.

The release notes state:

Starting today, you can subscribe to Ledger Recover.

Ledger Recover is an ID-based key recovery service that provides a backup for your Secret Recovery Phrase.

Ledger Recover is currently compatible with Ledger Nano X and available on Android and iOS running the latest Ledger Live version.

At the moment, a passport/national identity card issued by the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, or the United States is required to subscribe to the service. We will be covering more countries and adding support for more documents in the coming months. Stay tuned.
