  The requirement of a plug-in to turn on the Ledger Nano X is actually a security feature. By requiring a physical connection to a computer or power source, it adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. This ensures that only the owner of the device can turn it on and access their cryptocurrency funds. It may seem inconvenient at first, but it greatly enhances the overall security of the device.

  Yes, the plug-in requirement is indeed a security measure. It prevents the device from being turned on accidentally or by someone who shouldn't have access to it. By requiring a physical connection, the Ledger Nano X ensures that only the rightful owner can power it on and access their digital assets. This feature is especially important for a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano X, which is designed to securely store cryptocurrencies.
