Discover how to download, log in, fix issues, and recover your Ledger® Live wallet across desktop and mobile platforms securely.
The Ledger® Live Wallet is a complete crypto management solution designed for use with Ledger® hardware wallets. It allows users to buy, sell, swap, and stake digital assets securely. Whether on Ledger Live Desktop or the Ledger Live App, it provides real-time portfolio tracking and complete control of your digital assets while maintaining security through your hardware device.
To start, download Ledger® Live from the official Ledger® website. Choose the version that matches your device — Windows, macOS, or Linux for desktops, or the mobile app from Google Play or Apple’s App Store. Once installed, connect your Ledger® device and follow the prompts to initialize your wallet.
The Ledger Live login process ensures secure access without traditional passwords. Instead, your Ledger® hardware wallet acts as your key. Each action requires confirmation directly on the physical device, keeping your private keys completely offline and protected from online threats.
Users often confuse Ledger® and Trezor wallets. These are separate ecosystems — you can’t connect a Trezor directly to Ledger® Live. However, if your recovery phrase follows the BIP39 standard, you can restore your Trezor funds on a Ledger® device, though this is not officially supported. Always exercise caution and never input recovery phrases online.
If you lose access to your device, you can recover your accounts using the 24-word recovery phrase generated during setup. This phrase is the only way to restore your funds on a new Ledger® device. Ledger® does not use an email-based or cloud 2FA system; hence a Ledger 2FA reset is not applicable. For 2FA with external exchanges, follow that platform’s recovery steps.
If you face persistent issues like connection errors or unresponsive apps, the Ledger® Help Center offers step-by-step solutions, live status updates, and verified support contacts. Avoid third-party support links, as they may lead to scams or phishing attempts.
