  6. In the Backup new seed phrase page, click on the Protected field to reveal your Temple wallet recovery phrase then confirm you made a backup.

      Please note that this recovery phrase doesn't replace your Ledger 24-word recovery phrase, make sure to keep both securely backed up.

  7. In the Temple app main interface, click on the icon located next to Account 1 and select Connect Ledger.
  8. Connect your Ledger device and open the Tezos app.
  9. Choose a name for your account then click on Add Ledger Account.
    The derivation path and derivation types fields don't need to be changed.
  10. The app will ask you to provide your public key, which you'll need to confirm on your device. 

You should now have access to your Ledger Tezos account(s) which you can use to manage Tezos.
