Ledger Live is the official companion software for your Ledger Wallet. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it allows you to securely send, receive, and buy cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys offline.
Plug your Ledger device into your computer using the supplied USB cable. Ledger Live will detect the device automatically and guide you through the setup process. Choose whether to:
Set up as a new device if this is your first Ledger Wallet
Restore from recovery phrase if you have an existing backup
Your device will display a 24-word recovery phrase. Write these words down carefully on the provided recovery card. ⚠️ Never store the recovery phrase digitally or online — it is the only way to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Create a strong PIN directly on your Ledger device. The PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access and adds an extra layer of security for your cryptocurrency.
Store your recovery phrase in secure offline locations. Consider fireproof safes or metal backup plates for durability and extra protection.
Always confirm transaction details on the Ledger device screen. This ensures the transaction is accurate and cannot be manipulated by malware.
