During the setup process on [www.ledger.com/start](http://www.ledger.com/start), you'll create a recovery seed – a string of words that acts as a failsafe for your wallet. This recovery seed becomes your safety net, enabling you to regain access to your assets if your hardware wallet is lost, stolen, or damaged. [www.ledger.com/start](http://www.ledger.com/start) emphasizes the importance of securely storing this recovery seed, guiding you through the process to ensure your peace of mind.
