Ledger Live is the companion application used with Ledger hardware wallets to manage cryptocurrency accounts, check portfolio balances, review transactions, and access supported wallet features. Depending on your device and the current software version, the application may be referred to as Ledger Wallet.
Unlike a traditional online account, Ledger Live login generally involves opening the application and connecting or unlocking your Ledger hardware wallet when required. Your private keys remain protected by the hardware wallet.
Begin at Ledger.com and navigate to the official application download page. Always verify the website address before downloading software.
Download the version compatible with your computer or mobile device using Ledger's official instructions. Avoid unofficial downloads, sponsored imitation websites, and unknown installation files.
Launch the application after installation. Follow the setup prompts to configure the application or access an existing wallet.
Connect your device using a compatible USB cable or Bluetooth where supported. Unlock the device with your PIN when prompted, and follow the instructions displayed in the application and on the hardware wallet.
After completing the required setup, you can review supported cryptocurrency accounts, monitor balances, view transaction history, and manage available wallet features.
When sending cryptocurrency, carefully check the recipient address, network, and amount. Approve the transaction directly on your Ledger hardware wallet only when all details are correct.
