Instructions
1. Take out your recovery phrase and passphrase.
2. Restore the Ledger device from your recovery phrase.
3. Follow the instructions above for a temporary passphrase or attach to PIN while
taking into account:
Temporary passphrase Simply enter the passphrase you've set up earlier
to access the accounts protected by that passphrase.
Attach to PIN code You can choose any PIN code, but you need to enter
the passphrase you've set up earlier to access the accounts protected by
that passphrase.
3.3  Passphrase security in practice
3.3.1  Adding accounts to Ledger Live
When you add an account, its extended public key (xpub) is stored in Ledger Live's user
data folder, where it is encrypted by your password if you've set up password lock.
To be sure that Ledger Live does not store information about passphrase-protected
accounts, you may simply remove these accounts after you're done managing them in
Ledger Live.
3.3.2  Plausible deniability
To protect yourself in case of physical threat, make sure your primary PIN code unlocks
only a minor part of your crypto assets. Then set up a passphrase attached to a PIN code
and store a more significant amount of crypto assets on the passphrase-protected
accounts.
If you are under duress to unlock your Ledger Nano S, you can surrender your main PIN
code to the attacker while hiding the PIN code that unlocks your passphrase-protected
accounts.
