Ledger Live is the official app developed by Ledger that lets you manage your crypto assets in one place. It works with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax) to give you secure access to your coins, tokens, and NFTs.
You can:
View your portfolio balance.
Send and receive crypto.
Buy, sell, swap, or stake assets.
Install apps for different blockchains.
Unlike traditional apps or exchanges, Ledger Live doesn’t use a username and password login. Instead, it connects to your Ledger hardware wallet for authentication. Here’s how it works:
Download Ledger Live
Get it only from the official site: ledger.com/ledger-live (never from third-party links).
Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Open Ledger Live & Connect Your Device
Plug in your Ledger device via USB (or Bluetooth if using Nano X).
Enter your PIN code on the hardware wallet.
Access Your Accounts
Once unlocked, Ledger Live syncs with your device.
You can now view balances, send/receive, and manage assets.
Extra Security (Optional)
Enable password lock in Ledger Live settings (this protects access to the app itself, but not the wallet).
Use Ledger Recover (subscription service) for backup of your recovery phrase if desired.
No web login – You cannot log in to Ledger Live through a website. Always use the official desktop or mobile app.
No recovery phrase entry – Never type your 24-word recovery phrase into Ledger Live, websites, or apps. The phrase belongs only on your Ledger device.
Phishing warning – Fake "Ledger Live login" pages exist online. If a site asks for your recovery phrase or credentials, it’s a scam.
