Overview — What is the Ledger Live App?
Ledger Live is the official software interface for Ledger hardware wallets. Available as Ledger Live Desktop and mobile, it lets users view portfolio balances, send and receive cryptocurrencies, install apps on their Ledger device, and check transaction history. Begin with the official setup guide at Ledger.com/start.
Download & Setup
Get the app from the official Ledger Live download page: Ledger Live Download. After installation:
- Open Ledger Live and choose Get Started.
- Connect your Ledger hardware device and follow on-screen instructions.
- Initialize a new device or restore from your recovery phrase. Never share the recovery phrase.
Ledger Live Login & Wallet Use
Ledger Live authenticates access by verifying the connected Ledger device — no password is stored by Ledger Live itself. The combination of your device PIN and physical confirmation on the device secures every transaction. Use the app to manage multiple accounts and monitor portfolio performance.
Security Best Practices
- Always download Ledger Live from Ledger's official pages.
- Keep firmware and Ledger Live updated to the latest releases.
- Store your recovery phrase offline, in a safe place.
- Use Ledger Live Desktop on secure, up-to-date systems for large transfers.
