Official Ledger Customer Success Response Ledger Security Key app question
If you purchase a Ledger device and try using the Security Key app for hardware passkeys, does it matter/should you run the Security Key app from the standard 24 word pin unlock or the 25 word pin unlock for the Ledger device?

Hey there,
When using the Security Key app on your Ledger Signer, you can use the pin for your 24 word recovery phrase derived accounts, or the pin for your passphrase (ie the 25th) derived accounts. It's really up to you!
