01 / THE BASICS

First things first:
Ledger Live isn’t a website login.

Ledger Live is companion software for managing assets with a Ledger hardware wallet. Open the installed app on desktop or mobile, then connect and unlock your device to access supported features.

This independent guide explains the process. It is not an official Ledger support page and cannot access accounts or recover wallets.

Find Ledger Live at Ledger.com
02 / GET STARTED

Open Ledger Live
with confidence.

Use official sources and your own device. These simple checks help you avoid lookalike apps and unsafe login prompts.

01

Get the app from Ledger

Visit ledger.com directly and use its Ledger Live download link. Verify the publisher before installing; avoid sponsored search results and third-party downloads.

Official download page
02

Open and choose your setup

Launch the app and follow the setup options. If you already have a Ledger device, choose the existing-device path and keep the device with you.

Desktop or mobile app
03

Connect and verify

Connect your hardware wallet, enter its PIN on the device, and approve only transactions or prompts you understand on its screen.

Confirm on your device
03 / PROTECT YOUR WALLET

Your recovery phrase
is never a login.

Your 24-word recovery phrase gives control of your crypto. Keep it offline and private—anyone asking for it online is a serious red flag.

04 / QUICK ANSWERS

FAQs.

Plain-language answers to common access and connection questions.

How do I sign in to Ledger Live?

Open the Ledger Live app you downloaded from Ledger’s official website, then follow its on-screen setup. Ledger Live does not ask you to type your 24-word recovery phrase into a website or support chat.

Do I need an online account password?

Ledger Live is designed to work with your Ledger device. You may set an optional password to lock the desktop app locally; it is not a substitute for your device PIN or recovery phrase.

Why can’t Ledger Live find my device?

Unlock your Ledger device with its PIN, connect it with a data-capable USB cable, and open the relevant app on the device if prompted. Try another port or cable and update Ledger Live only through official channels.

Is Ledger Live available on mobile?

Ledger Live has desktop and mobile versions. Download the app only through links on Ledger’s official website or its verified app-store listing. Availability and supported features can vary by device.
