SECURITY-FIRST INSTRUCTIONSNever share your recovery phraseLedger Live is the companion app for Ledger hardware wallets
01 — ACCESS YOUR APP
Ledger Live login,
step by step.
Ledger Live does not use a traditional username and password for your wallet. Open the official app, then connect and unlock your Ledger hardware wallet when prompted.
02
Connect your Ledger
Connect your hardware wallet with USB or Bluetooth where supported. Follow the on-screen instructions and enter your PIN directly on the Ledger device.
Approve prompts on the device itself03
Open your portfolio
Once your device is connected, use the app to view accounts, check balances, and manage supported assets. You may need to add accounts or install an app on your device.
See setup tipsThere is no legitimate “wallet login” that needs your 24 words. Never type your recovery phrase into Ledger Live, a website, a support chat, or a search result. Your recovery phrase is the backup to your assets; keep it offline and private.
02 — FIRST-TIME SETUP
Set up your app.
Stay in control.
A few careful checks help you start with the right app and the right device.
Visit Ledger Support01
Download from a trusted source
Use the official Ledger website or the App Store / Google Play listing published by Ledger. Avoid sponsored search links and third-party download mirrors.
02
Initialize your hardware wallet yourself
Follow the device’s own setup flow. Write down the recovery phrase only when the device shows it during setup, and store it securely offline.
03
Check the device before approving
Read transaction details on your Ledger screen. Approve only actions you initiated and understand.
04
Keep the app and device current
Use Ledger Live’s genuine update prompts and follow official support instructions if anything looks unusual.
03 — PROTECT YOUR ACCESS
Security starts with
what you never share.
Ledger Live is a portfolio interface; your private keys are secured by your Ledger hardware wallet. These simple habits help protect both.
Keep recovery words offline
No real Ledger representative or app should ask you to disclose your recovery phrase. Anyone who gets it can take control of your crypto.
Verify links and downloads
Check the address carefully before clicking. Ledger will not ask you to “validate,” “sync,” or enter your phrase on a web page.
Confirm on the device
Treat the Ledger screen as the source of truth. Verify the recipient and transaction details before approving.
