My Lédger® Live Wallet — Official Guide
My Lédger® Live Wallet — Official Guide
My Lédger® Live Wallet is a convenient way to refer to using Ledger's official wallet application together with a compatible Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger Live provides an interface for managing supported crypto accounts, tracking portfolio activity, viewing transactions, and accessing selected services. Ledger currently provides versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Ledger has also begun using the name Ledger Wallet™ for its wallet application, formerly known as Ledger Live. The official Ledger Wallet page provides current download and setup information and explains how users can connect their Ledger device and install cryptocurrency applications through the My Ledger section.
To begin, download the current official application directly from Ledger. Choose the version appropriate for your computer or mobile device, install it, and follow the instructions shown by the application. If you are using a hardware wallet, connect the device and unlock it with your PIN. Ledger's official guidance explains that users can then use the application's Manager or My Ledger section to install supported cryptocurrency apps on their device.
Once configured, the application can provide an overview of supported crypto accounts and portfolio activity. Depending on the asset, region, and available provider, Ledger Live can also offer services for buying, swapping, and staking supported assets. Third-party providers may supply some transaction services, so users should review the relevant terms and fees before proceeding.
Security is essential when using a self-custody wallet. Your Secret Recovery Phrase is the backup for the private keys associated with your wallet. Ledger recommends keeping this information offline, private, and securely stored. Never enter your recovery phrase into a computer, smartphone, website, online form, or unsolicited support conversation.
Ledger also states that its support team will never ask you for your recovery phrase. Be particularly cautious of websites, messages, or applications claiming that your wallet needs verification, synchronization, activation, or recovery by entering your secret words.
My Lédger® Live Wallet can provide a straightforward interface for managing supported digital assets alongside a Ledger hardware wallet. For the safest experience, download software exclusively through official Ledger resources, verify transactions on your hardware device, keep applications updated, and protect your Secret Recovery Phrase from anyone else.
Security Notice: Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase, private keys, or PIN with anyone.
