# Ledger

This quick guide will walk you through how to use your XPR account with a [Ledger Nano X ](https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-x)or [Ledger Nano S.](https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-s/) This allows you to use the [XPR Network Explorer](https://explorer.xprnetwork.org/), the most comprehensive EOSIO Portal, with the added security of a hardware wallet from the convenience of your browser.

* Ledger is configured and powered **on**
* Ledger is firmware is updated and has the **EOS App** installed

If you haven’t completed these steps, [click here](https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000613793-Set-up-as-new-device) before following along with this guide.

### 2. Go to [Explorer](https://explorer.xprnetwork.org/). Click Login at the top right corner.&#x20;

If this is the first time using your Ledger, you will see a message similar to the image above stating there are “**No Accounts Found**”. This is to be expected. **Copy** one of the **public keys** displayed onto a notepad.

If you don’t have an XPR Network account, create one [here](https://explorer.xprnetwork.org/wallet/create-account/advanced) with the key you copied, and proceed to **Step 4**.

If you already have an XPR Network account on another wallet such as Scatter, proceed to **Step 3**.

### 4. Log into your existing account.

Head over to the [Permission Manager.](https://explorer.xprnetwork.org/wallet/permissions) Log into your existing EOS account using Scatter or another wallet. Make sure you log in with your **Owner Key**(can change both Owner and Active) or **Active Key** (can only change Active).

Paste your keys from Step 2 into the fields above and click **Change Permissions**. Take care to ensure the keys you paste are the same you copied in Step 2.

### 5. Login to [Explorer](https://explorer.xprnetwork.org/) with your Ledger S/X and it will show you your account.

Repeat all the steps in Step 2. This time the [Explorer](https://explorer.xprnetwork.org/) should show you the accounts associated with your Ledger key.

### 5. Allow Contract Data. *(Optional)*

If you want to be able to interact with custom contracts on the XPR Network blockchain, you will need to turn on *Contract Data* on your ledger device. To do this complete the following steps:
