My Lédger® Live Wallet - Official
My Lédger® Live Wallet is a convenient way to describe the personal wallet-management experience provided through Ledger's official application. Ledger has been transitioning the branding from Ledger Live™ to Ledger Wallet™, so users searching for “My Ledger Live Wallet” may encounter the newer Ledger Wallet name on official pages.
Ledger Wallet is designed to work with compatible Ledger hardware devices and provides an interface for managing supported digital assets. Users can view account balances, review transaction activity, send and receive supported cryptocurrencies, and access additional services such as buying, swapping, staking, and Web3 features where available. Supported assets and services can vary by network and location.
To begin, download the official Ledger Wallet application from Ledger's website. The official download page provides versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. After installation, users can connect a compatible Ledger device and follow the instructions shown in the application and on the hardware device.
For a new wallet, the hardware device generates its recovery information during setup. For an existing wallet, Ledger provides supported restoration procedures. Follow the instructions displayed by the device rather than relying on instructions received through unsolicited messages or third-party websites.
One benefit of the Ledger Wallet interface is that it brings multiple supported accounts into one dashboard. Ledger says its application can help users monitor their portfolio across networks and accounts while providing transaction-history and portfolio information.
The application can also provide access to selected third-party transaction services. These services may include buying, selling, swapping, or staking options. Because availability can change, users should check the current information presented inside the official Ledger application before using a particular service.
Ledger Wallet also provides access to selected Web3 applications through its ecosystem. Ledger's developer documentation explains that its Discover section includes curated Live Apps that can interact with Ledger devices, helping users connect with Web3 projects while retaining hardware-based transaction approval.
When interacting with a decentralized application, carefully review transaction details on your Ledger device before approving anything. Do not approve unfamiliar transactions simply because a website displays a warning or claims that verification is required.
The most important part of managing a Ledger wallet is protecting your Secret Recovery Phrase. Ledger explains that this phrase acts as the backup for the private keys associated with a wallet. Anyone who obtains the phrase may be able to restore the wallet and access its assets.
Never type your recovery phrase into a website, Google form, email, chat, social-media message, browser extension, or unsolicited support application. Ledger explicitly warns users that it will never ask for their 24-word recovery phrase.
Store your recovery information privately and offline. Also keep your Ledger device PIN confidential and verify important transaction details directly on the hardware device.

My Lédger® Live Wallet provides a simple interface for managing supported crypto assets alongside a compatible Ledger hardware device. As Ledger continues its transition from the Ledger Live name to Ledger Wallet, always use Ledger's official channels for downloads, updates, and security information. Most importantly, keep your Secret Recovery Phrase private and never provide it to anyone claiming to offer wallet support.
