Your step-by-step guide to accessing and setting up your Ledger® Live app securely.
Ledger® Live is the official application that connects to your Ledger hardware wallet, allowing you to manage your digital assets safely. Whether you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other supported cryptocurrency, Ledger® Live gives you a secure platform to buy, sell, swap, and stake your assets.
To get started, visit the official Ledger.com/Start page. Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS) and download the Ledger® Live application. Ensure you only download from the official Ledger website to avoid phishing or fake applications.
Once you’ve installed Ledger® Live, open the app and connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (for Ledger Nano X). Follow the on-screen setup instructions to create or restore your wallet. If you are setting up a new device, write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet and store it securely offline.
After the initial setup, logging into Ledger® Live is simple. Launch the app, connect your device, and enter your device PIN. Ledger® Live does not require an online login ID or password — your access is secured through your hardware wallet, ensuring maximum protection against online threats.
With your account set up, you can now manage multiple assets through the Ledger® Live dashboard. Add new accounts for supported cryptocurrencies, view real-time market data, and track portfolio performance. You can also use integrated services for buying, swapping, and staking crypto directly from the app.
To maintain your security, always verify transactions on your Ledger device screen before confirming. Keep your Ledger® Live app and firmware updated regularly through the official Ledger.com/Start page to ensure you have the latest features and protections.
If you experience issues while using Ledger® Live, you can access the official Ledger Support center for help articles and assistance. Avoid searching for unofficial sources to prevent phishing or scams.
