The setup process may include:
Connecting your Ledger hardware wallet
Unlocking your device with its PIN
Installing supported cryptocurrency applications

Install or update supported applications
Always verify transaction details directly on your Ledger device before approving a transaction.
Your recovery phrase and device PIN are highly sensitive. Keep your recovery phrase stored securely offline and never disclose it to another person.

Download Ledger software only from official sources.
Never enter your recovery phrase into an unfamiliar application or website.
Never share your PIN or recovery phrase with support representatives.
Be cautious of phishing websites and unsolicited messages.
Carefully verify addresses and transaction amounts on your hardware wallet.
If the desktop application does not recognize your Ledger device, consider checking the USB connection, trying another compatible cable or port, and restarting the application. Keeping the application and device software updated can also help maintain compatibility.
For device-specific problems, use official Ledger support and troubleshooting resources.
Ledger Live Desktop combines a convenient desktop interface with the security features of a compatible Ledger hardware wallet. By using official software, protecting your recovery information, and verifying transactions on your physical device, you can manage supported digital assets more securely.
