Ledger Live: Manage Your Ledger Hardware Wallet
Ledger Live: Manage Your Ledger Hardware Wallet
Ledger Live is Ledger’s wallet-management software for interacting with compatible Ledger hardware wallets and supported digital assets. It provides an interface for viewing accounts, checking balances, reviewing transactions, and accessing available features while keeping the hardware wallet central to transaction authorization.
Ledger Live is designed to work alongside a compatible Ledger device. Rather than relying solely on software-based credentials, sensitive operations can require confirmation on the physical hardware wallet.
Through the application, users can access supported accounts, monitor portfolio activity, and manage cryptocurrency transactions.
To begin using Ledger Live safely:
Obtain a genuine Ledger hardware wallet.
Download the application only from an official Ledger source.
Install and open Ledger Live on a compatible device.
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet.
Follow the setup and pairing instructions.
Review account information through the application.
Confirm important transactions directly on your Ledger device.
Monitor supported cryptocurrency accounts and review portfolio information from one interface.
Add and manage supported accounts associated with your Ledger hardware wallet.
Prepare cryptocurrency transactions through Ledger Live and verify important details on your physical device before approval.
Depending on your device and software version, Ledger Live may provide access to supported device-management and application features.
Only obtain Ledger Live from an official Ledger source. Fake wallet applications and phishing websites can be designed to steal recovery phrases or other sensitive information.
Your recovery phrase should remain private and offline. Never enter it into Ledger Live, a website, an email, or a support form unless the official device-specific recovery procedure explicitly requires it.
Also verify transaction addresses and amounts on your Ledger hardware wallet before confirming transactions.
If Ledger Live does not recognize your device, check the USB or wireless connection supported by your device, restart the application if appropriate, and ensure you are using the current official software. Follow Ledger's official troubleshooting guidance if the problem continues.
Do not install unofficial applications or follow unsolicited instructions that request your recovery phrase.
Ledger Live provides a convenient interface for interacting with compatible Ledger hardware wallets and supported digital assets. By using genuine software, protecting your recovery phrase, and confirming transactions on your physical device, you can establish safer cryptocurrency-management habits.
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Anyone who obtains it may be able to restore and control the associated wallet.
