Ledger Live — Secure Desktop & Mobile Wallet

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official companion software for Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a unified interface to view balances, send and receive cryptocurrencies, manage multiple accounts, install apps on your Ledger device, and connect to third-party services. Available as a desktop application (Ledger Live Desktop) and mobile application (Ledger Live App), it centralizes wallet functionality while keeping private keys secure on your Ledger device.

Secure transactions: All signing happens on your Ledger hardware device—keys never leave the device.

How to Download & Install (Ledger Live Download)

To install Ledger Live, visit the official Ledger download page linked from Ledger.com/start or go directly to the Ledger Live section. Choose Ledger Live Desktop for Windows, macOS, or Linux, or install the Ledger Live App on your mobile device from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Always download Ledger Live from Ledger's official website to avoid counterfeit installers.

Ledger Live Login & First-Time Setup

Ledger Live does not create custody accounts—your Ledger hardware is the root of trust. The typical login/setup flow is:

Install Ledger Live (desktop or app) and open it.
Choose to set up a new device or restore an existing one.
Follow the on-screen steps and connect your Ledger hardware when prompted.
Securely write down your recovery phrase provided by the device (never store it digitally).
Finish by adding accounts inside Ledger Live; the app will display balances after your device signs a read request.

For step-by-step onboarding, see the official setup instructions at Ledger.com/start.

Security Best Practices

Always use Ledger Live downloaded from the official site.
Never share your 24-word recovery phrase—Ledger Support will never ask for it.
Keep your Ledger device firmware and Ledger Live up to date.
Use a passphrase (advanced) if you need an extra layer of account isolation.
Verify transaction details on the device screen before approving.

Why Use Ledger Live?

Ledger Live combines user-friendly account management with hardware-level security. It is ideal for users who want transparent control over private keys, while enjoying modern features like staking, portfolio tracking, and integrated swaps through trusted partners.
