Ledger Live is Ledger's wallet-management software for interacting with compatible Ledger hardware wallets and managing supported cryptocurrency accounts. It provides a central interface for viewing account information, checking balances, managing assets, and reviewing transactions.
Ledger Live is designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets. The application provides tools for managing supported digital assets while important security operations can be confirmed through the connected physical device.
Depending on the Ledger device, software version, and supported asset, users may be able to:
View cryptocurrency balances
Manage multiple accounts
Review transaction history
Receive supported digital assets
Prepare and approve transactions
Manage device settings
Install or manage supported applications
Monitor portfolio information
To begin using Ledger Live:
Obtain Ledger Live through an official Ledger source.
Install and open the application.
Connect your compatible Ledger hardware wallet.
Follow the on-screen setup instructions.
Unlock your device using its PIN when required.
Add or select the cryptocurrency accounts you want to manage.
Review account information and transaction details.
The available features can vary depending on the Ledger hardware model, operating system, and supported cryptocurrency.
Ledger Live works together with the physical hardware wallet. The device is used to protect sensitive wallet operations and to confirm important transactions.
When sending cryptocurrency, carefully compare the recipient address and transaction amount displayed on the Ledger device with the transaction you intended to make. Do not approve a transaction if the information does not match.
Your recovery phrase is extremely sensitive and should remain private.
Never share your recovery phrase or private keys with anyone. Do not enter them into websites, emails, online forms, chat messages, or remote-support applications because someone claims they are required for account verification or troubleshooting.
Ledger support should not require you to disclose your recovery phrase.

Download Ledger Live only through official Ledger channels.
Keep the application updated.
Protect your Ledger device PIN.
Keep your recovery phrase offline and secure.
Verify website addresses before connecting your wallet.
Review transactions directly on your Ledger device.

Be particularly cautious of fake Ledger support accounts and websites that imitate legitimate wallet services.
If Ledger Live cannot detect your hardware wallet, try checking the USB connection, restarting the application, and confirming that you are using the current official version.
You should also make sure your device is unlocked and follow the troubleshooting instructions appropriate to your Ledger model.
Never provide your recovery phrase to someone claiming they can fix a connection or synchronization problem.
