By this point you should have:

• Set up your Ledger hardware wallet.
• Created a MetaMask account (which is your software wallet).
• Created an ETH account in Ledger Live.

Now let’s connect your hardware wallet to your software wallet.

Step 1. Open your MetaMask software wallet in the Brave web browser

• Click on the Extensions icon (it looks like a puzzle piece), at the top-right corner of the Brave web browser.

• Click on the MetaMask extension icon.
• Enter your MetaMask password and click unlock.
• Click on the ellipses underneath the account icon and then select Expand view. This will open MetaMask in its own browser tab.

Step 2. In MetaMask, select the account icon on the top, right corner

• Click on Connect Hardware Wallet.

• Choose Ledger.
• Plug in your Ledger wallet and unlock it by entering your PIN.
• On your Ledger, open the Ethereum app - it will state, “Application is ready.”
• Back in MetaMask, click on continue.
• Select your Ledger wallet and then click connect.
• Select the ETH account you want to connect to MetaMask and click Unlock.
