About Ledger® Live
Ledger® Live is the official wallet interface for managing your Ledger® hardware wallets. It connects your device to a user-friendly platform where you can buy, send, receive, and track multiple cryptocurrencies securely. The application is available as Ledger® Live Desktop for computers and the Ledger® Live App for mobile devices, ensuring full accessibility and control over your crypto assets.
How to Download Ledger® Live
- Visit the official Ledger® website and go to the “Ledger® Live Download” page.
- Select your operating system: Windows, macOS, or Linux for Desktop users.
- For mobile devices, download the Ledger® Live App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Install and open the app, then connect your Ledger® device via USB or Bluetooth (for Nano X models).

Ledger® Live Login and Account Setup
The Ledger® Live login process requires connecting your hardware wallet to verify ownership. You will be prompted to enter your PIN on the device for authentication. Ledger® Live ensures that your private keys never leave the hardware device, providing bank-grade security for your digital assets.
Troubleshooting Ledger® Login & Connection Issues
- Ledger® Login not working: Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected and that your device firmware and Ledger® Live are both up to date.
- Error connecting Ledger® account: Try changing the USB port or using a different cable. Restart both your computer and the app.
- Ledger® Live App not working: Clear cache or reinstall the app. Disable antivirus/firewall temporarily to test connectivity.
- Can’t verify Ledger® wallet: Update Ledger® Live, reconnect your device, and confirm the correct app (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) is open on your Ledger®.
Ledger® Account Recovery & 2FA Reset
If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover your wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase on another Ledger® device. Ledger® doesn’t use online 2FA; your recovery phrase and PIN are the primary protection layers. For services linked with 2FA (like exchanges), reset those directly via their platforms. Never share or enter your recovery phrase on any website or over the internet.

When facing technical issues such as failed firmware updates, lost recovery phrases, or app malfunction, visit the official Ledger® Help Center. The Help Center includes articles, troubleshooting guides, and official support channels. Always ensure you’re on the correct domain before providing any information.
