“Cold wallet manufacturer Ledger is under fire yet again, this time for releasing a firmware upgrade that includes a subscription-based feature called “Recover.” The feature is facing criticism for granting the company access to customers’ seed phrases, which undermines the purpose of a hardware wallet,” BeInCrypto.com notes.

The new product, Ledger Recover, allows users to recover their private keys through a comprehensive ID verification process.
“Security comes from simplicity – design the smallest possible footprint.
