Start with the setup guide below. Your device keeps your private keys protected.
Ledger Live is the companion app for managing crypto accounts with a Ledger hardware wallet. Use this guide to get oriented, understand the setup flow, and make safer choices from your very first session.
Visit Ledger’s official website and download Ledger Live for your operating system. Confirm you are on ledger.com before downloading. Install the application and open it from your computer’s applications folder. Avoid sponsored search results, third-party download sites, and links sent unexpectedly in messages.
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your Ledger device or connect an existing one. If you are creating a new wallet, the device will display a recovery phrase. Write it down offline and store it somewhere private and secure. Never photograph it, type it into a computer, or share it with anyone—including someone claiming to be support.
Connect your device using the cable or connection supported by your model, unlock it with its PIN, and approve only prompts you understand. Ledger Live may ask you to install apps on the device for supported networks. Confirm important addresses and transaction details directly on the device screen before approving.
Choose an asset or network and add an account to see compatible balances in Ledger Live. The portfolio view can help you review supported assets in one place, while account details show activity for an individual network. Balances and asset availability may differ by network, region, and service provider.
A hardware wallet is designed to keep private keys offline, but careful habits still matter. Ledger Live will never need your recovery phrase to troubleshoot, synchronize, or restore a device. Treat any request for those words as a scam attempt.
Keep your Ledger device firmware and Ledger Live application up to date using the app’s genuine update flow. Be cautious with unfamiliar tokens, unsolicited airdrops, browser pop-ups, and links that imitate official support. Do not approve an operation simply because it appears in the desktop app; read the details on your trusted device first.

No. Your recovery phrase should only be displayed by your Ledger device during setup and kept offline by you. Never enter it into Ledger Live, a website, a support chat, or any computer or phone. A person asking for it is not providing legitimate support.
