What is Ledger® Live Wallet?
The Ledger® Live Wallet is the official companion app designed to manage, send, receive, and stake cryptocurrencies with your Ledger® hardware wallet. It offers real-time portfolio tracking, app management, and a secure interface for managing assets directly from your Ledger® Nano X, Nano S, or Nano S Plus device.
Ledger® Live Download — Desktop & Mobile
To get started, visit the official Ledger.com/start or Ledger Live page. Choose between Ledger® Live Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) or the Ledger® Live App (available on iOS and Android). Always confirm you’re downloading from the official Ledger® site to avoid phishing attempts.
Once installed, connect your Ledger® device and follow on-screen instructions to set up your wallet or restore from your 24-word recovery phrase.
Ledger® Live Login and Account Access
Unlike traditional apps, the Ledger Live login process doesn’t require a password or online authentication. Instead, you log in by physically connecting your Ledger® hardware device. This ensures your private keys remain offline and secure, protecting your digital assets from online threats.
Common Ledger® Live Wallet Issues & Troubleshooting
- Ledger Login not working: Ensure Ledger® Live and your device firmware are updated. Try reconnecting the device via another USB port.
- Error connecting Ledger Account: Check that the Ledger® Bridge (communication software) is running properly. Reinstall it if necessary.
- Ledger Live App not working: Reboot your device, reinstall the app, and check your internet connection or permissions.
- Can't verify Ledger Wallet: Verify addresses directly on your device display — never trust information only shown on your screen.
- Ledger 2FA reset: Ledger® hardware wallets do not use standard 2FA; reset 2FA through the connected third-party service if required.
- Unable to Ledger® Trezor: Ledger® and Trezor are two distinct hardware ecosystems; they cannot be used interchangeably for direct access.
Ledger® Account Recovery & Help Center
If you lose access to your wallet, you can recover it using your 24-word recovery phrase. Keep this phrase stored securely offline. Ledger® cannot restore your wallet for you since the recovery phrase is the only key to your funds.
