Access wallet by ledger nano s

[Liviu 0]

Hello,

 I try to access my wallet with ledger nano s. After the ledger is connected, I have to choose an address from a list with many addresses ( it seems I have many wallets).  Is it normal? 

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, you have control over many addresses/wallets obtained through derivation from the same seed phrase.

If you use the same seed phrase to access your wallet without ledger, the web wallet will show you by default the first from those wallets.

Hi, thank you very much for answering.

I've been having the exact same situation. Created a wallet without ledger, then tried to connect the ledger to it, but I got that list full of different addresses from which to choose from. 

So you're saying that no matter what address we choose from the list each time we connect, we will still be connected to the same wallet, cause they all come from the same seed phrase is that right? 

2nd question

How do I connect a ledger to an existing elrond wallet if they each have their own different addresses? 

Thank you very much !

Yes, with ledger you will have access to all those wallets each time you connect. Through the web wallet you will only see the first one by default.

For your 2nd question, if you use the same seed phrase, then you have the same wallets both in web wallet and in ledger. As mentioned above, currently the web wallet only shows the first wallet, the ledger will show that first wallet on the first position, plus the rest.

So, I am following up here.  So I'm gonna ask the kindergarten level questions here.

 

1. What happens if I pick any one of these addresses?

All listed wallet addresses are under your control, you can use any of those with ledger

Without ledger, the web wallet currently only displays the wallet associated with first address.

All wallets keys (private and public) that give you control over the wallets can be generated again from the same 24 words secret phrase.

Thank you for the reply.  I am still a bit confused.  So can you walk me through the actual steps?

1. I go to https://wallet.elrond.com/unlock/ledger
2. I connect my ledger
3. I am prompted to select an address

This is where I am confused.  Am I supposed to scroll through and look for my address?  If not, can you tell em specifically what I need to do?  

I appreciate the help.  Trying to get this working so that i can share it with my community.

It's your choice which wallet to use, all are yours.

By default if you used the same seed phrase with maiar or web wallet, the used account was the first one.

So you can select the first one if you need to access the same wallet. Whenever you need an additional wallet you can use the next one in the list and so on.
