How to enable, disable Blind Signing on Ledger Wallet
Ledger Nano devices securely handle all private keys offline to protect users’ funds from malware and phishing attacks. However, enabling the blind signing feature temporarily allows software on a connected computer to construct transactions that the Ledger signs without viewing contents or addresses. This expert-level feature is only intended for certain transactions.

Connect your Ledger Nano device and enter your PIN to unlock it.
