# Use Ledger with IoTeX Portal

Please note that the recommended way to use a Ledger Hardware Wallet with IoTeX is by using the Ethereum Ledger App and pairing it with a Web3 wallet such as [Metamask](https://docs.iotex.io/blockchain/learn-iotex/wallets/supported-wallet-apps/ledger-nano-s-and-x/use-with-metamask) or [Rabby](https://docs.iotex.io/blockchain/learn-iotex/wallets/supported-wallet-apps/ledger-nano-s-and-x/use-with-rabbit-walet).

{% hint style="success" %}
The option below, is intended specifically for existing users who previously created an IoTeX wallet using the older IoTeX Ledger integration.
