This guide covers everything from downloading the app to logging in and maintaining security, ensuring you can manage your assets confidently and safely.
Ledger Live supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies, allows secure sending and receiving, real-time balance tracking, and provides firmware updates for your Ledger hardware device. By following this guide, you will be able to set up your login, connect your device, and navigate the app efficiently.
Go to Ledger Live official page. Avoid third-party sources to prevent phishing attacks.
Choose the appropriate version for your operating system: Windows, Mac, Linux, or Mobile. Click “Download” and wait for the installer to finish downloading.
Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed, open the application. You will be greeted with the Ledger Live welcome screen.
Choose whether you want to set up a new Ledger device or restore an existing one. Ledger Live will guide you through device initialization and firmware checks. Make sure your Ledger hardware wallet is connected via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X).
Plug in your Ledger device and unlock it using your PIN code. Ledger Live will detect your device automatically.
Ledger Live will display a device verification code. Confirm that the code matches what is displayed on your Ledger device to ensure authenticity and prevent phishing attempts.
Once your device is verified, open Ledger Live. You can choose to log in using your device directly. If you are using Ledger Nano X, Bluetooth can be used to connect your device securely.
After login, go to the “Accounts” tab. Click “Add Account” and select the cryptocurrency you wish to manage. Ledger Live will synchronize with your device and display balances for your accounts.
Once logged in, you can send, receive, and check balances. All transactions must be confirmed on your Ledger device for security. Ledger Live also provides portfolio tracking, real-time price updates, and transaction history.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the ultimate backup for your Ledger wallet. Keep it offline and never share it. Ledger Live login depends on the security of your device and recovery phrase.

Always access Ledger Live via official sources. Avoid entering recovery phrases, PINs, or passwords on websites or applications that you do not fully trust.

Login usually takes less than 5 minutes if your device is connected and PIN verified.
Yes, Ledger Live can be installed on multiple devices, but you will always need your Ledger hardware wallet to authenticate login and transactions.
