The only foolproof method for generating a safe recovery phrase involves doing so entirely offline. This eliminates the risk of the phrase being intercepted or compromised by malicious actors.

Your Ledger device recognizes the significance of this offline generation process. During the initial setup, the Ledger facilitates the creation of a recovery phrase in a secure, offline environment. This ensures that your recovery phrase is protected from potential hacking attempts.
