About Ledger Live®
Ledger Live® is an official application designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets. It allows users to manage cryptocurrencies, view real-time portfolio data, send and receive assets, and interact with blockchain services — all while keeping private keys securely stored on the hardware device.
This platform acts as a secure bridge between your Ledger wallet and the blockchain, ensuring that sensitive operations are confirmed physically on your device.
Getting Started with Ledger Wallet
Initial Setup
To begin, you need a compatible Ledger hardware wallet such as Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X. After unboxing, connect your device to a computer or mobile phone and follow on-screen instructions.
- Install the Ledger Live application on your desktop or mobile device
- Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth
- Create and confirm your PIN code securely

Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
Ledger Live Login® Process
Ledger Live does not use traditional usernames or passwords. Instead, login access is verified through your connected Ledger hardware wallet.
How Login Works
When you open the Ledger Live app, it checks for an authenticated Ledger device. Actions such as adding accounts, sending crypto, or accessing settings require physical confirmation on the device.
- Open Ledger Live on your device
- Connect and unlock your Ledger wallet

Ledger Live is built with a security-first architecture. Your private keys never leave the Ledger hardware wallet and are protected by a certified secure element chip.
