Antwort auf: Verknüpfung eines bestehenden Ledgers mit MetaMask
You can use the Ledger you have now without any worries.
Essentially you have your first MetaMask account (as a hot wallet) and then you can add more accounts using the „connect to hardware wallet“ option within the MetaMask UI – as detailed in our documentation, [here](https://www.ledger.com/academy/security/the-safest-way-to-use-metamask).
I like to separate and title my Ledger-connected accounts in MetaMask so that I have certain accounts for „exploration“ within the crypto space, versus accounts where I don’t interact with any dApps and I effectively use them as purely storage for assets.
This gives me a bit more control over which accounts I know have interacted with certain smart contracts or protocols within the web3 space.
There is no need to get a fresh new Ledger in this instance (however backups devices are always handy in the case your current Ledger is lost or breaks – I have a backup device for this exact reason).
