For official software and setup information, use Ledger’s official website.
Ledger Live Desktop connects a compatible Ledger hardware wallet to your computer. The software provides tools for managing supported digital assets, while the physical Ledger device remains an important part of the security process.

When sending cryptocurrency, carefully review the recipient address, amount, network, and fees. Confirm the transaction details directly on your Ledger hardware wallet before approving the transfer.
Your recovery phrase is highly sensitive and should be stored securely offline. Never share it with another person.
Do not enter your recovery phrase into a website, email, online form, or chat claiming to provide Ledger verification, support, synchronization, or account recovery.
Anyone asking for your complete recovery phrase should be treated as suspicious.
Fraudulent applications and phishing websites can imitate Ledger software. Always download Ledger Live Desktop through an official Ledger source.
Avoid unfamiliar download links, unsolicited messages, and suspicious advertisements. If a supposed Ledger download page asks for your recovery phrase, stop immediately.
