What is Ledger® Live App?
The Ledger® Live App is a secure desktop and mobile interface designed by Ledger® to help you manage your cryptocurrency assets. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced crypto user, it lets you buy, sell, send, receive, and stake crypto directly from your Ledger® hardware wallet while ensuring complete control over your private keys.
Ledger® Live Download and Installation
To start using Ledger® Live, visit the official Ledger® website and choose the download compatible with your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). After downloading, install the app and follow the on-screen setup process to connect your device. Avoid downloading from third-party websites to prevent phishing or malware risks.
Ledger® Live Desktop Overview
The Ledger® Live Desktop version offers an intuitive dashboard to track your portfolio in real-time. It integrates seamlessly with your hardware wallet, allowing you to confirm transactions on your physical device. This hybrid design ensures maximum protection while maintaining ease of use for everyday crypto management.
Ledger® Live Login and Security
Logging into the Ledger® Live App involves setting an optional password for local protection. You must unlock your Ledger® device using the PIN before making any transactions. The app never stores your private keys or seed phrase, maintaining a strict “cold storage” security model. For added safety, always verify your transactions directly on the device screen before confirming.
Troubleshooting Common Ledger® Live Issues
- Ledger Login not working: Ensure your device firmware and Ledger® Live App are updated to the latest versions.
- Error Connecting Ledger® Account: Try changing USB cables, use a different port, and restart both your computer and app.
- Ledger Live App not Working: Reinstall Ledger® Live after clearing cache or rebooting your system.
- Can’t verify Ledger® Wallet: Check if your wallet app is open and the device is unlocked while verifying.
- Unable to connect Ledger® with Trezor: Ledger® and Trezor are different ecosystems — each requires its own management software.
Ledger® Account Recovery and 2FA Reset
If you lose your Ledger® device, you can restore your accounts using the 24-word recovery phrase during setup on a new Ledger®. Remember, this phrase is your key to the wallet. For app password or two-factor (2FA) reset, uninstall and reinstall the Ledger® Live App — the Ledger® device PIN remains your core security factor.
Ledger® Help Center and Support
The Ledger® Help Center provides step-by-step guides, video tutorials, and official support channels for all troubleshooting needs. Always make sure you access the support page directly through support.ledger.com to avoid fake websites. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone — even Ledger® support will never ask for it.
