Your assets.
Your control.

Ledger Live is the companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It gives you a place to view supported crypto assets, explore account activity, and manage the apps associated with your device. The hardware wallet keeps your private keys protected, while Ledger Live provides an interface for checking balances and preparing actions. For the strongest protection, download the application only through Ledger’s official website or an official app store listing. Confirm the publisher and address carefully; convincing lookalike sites and sponsored search results can imitate familiar brands.

Getting started begins with your own device. Open Ledger Live, connect your hardware wallet, and unlock it with the PIN you chose during setup. Follow the instructions shown in the application and compare important details with the trusted screen on your Ledger device. A computer display can be manipulated, so the device screen is the final place to verify an address or transaction before approving it. If anything looks unexpected, stop and investigate rather than continuing under pressure.

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master backup for your wallet. It belongs offline, in a private place that only you control. No legitimate support representative, website, app, or member of the Ledger team needs you to type that phrase into a computer or share it in a message. Anyone who obtains it may be able to take control of the assets it protects. Ledger Live sign-in does not require the phrase. Treat requests for it as a serious warning, even if the message sounds urgent or appears to come from someone you trust.

Once connected, take time to understand the portfolio view. Asset prices can move quickly, and a displayed balance is an estimate based on current market data, not a promise of future value. Review account activity regularly and learn what each network and asset represents before taking action. When sending crypto, check the destination address, network, and amount character by character. A small test transaction can be sensible when using a new address, although network fees and minimums may apply.

Good security is a routine, not a single setting. Keep your operating system and Ledger Live up to date, use a screen lock on your computer or phone, and avoid managing assets on public or shared devices. Do not install remote-access software at the request of an unsolicited caller. Be skeptical of giveaways, investment guarantees, surprise airdrops, and messages that ask you to connect a wallet to claim a reward. Never approve a transaction you do not understand; signing can authorize actions, not simply confirm identity.

If you need help, use the official Ledger support center and navigate there independently rather than following an unexpected link. Support can help explain product steps, but it should never ask for your recovery phrase or ask you to approve an unknown transaction. This page is an access guide, not a wallet or authentication service. To manage assets, use the official Ledger Live application and verify every important action on your own device. Staying patient, checking the source, and keeping recovery information private are simple habits that help you remain in control.
