What is the Ledger® Live App?
The Ledger® Live App is a powerful companion to your Ledger® hardware wallet. It provides an all-in-one platform where users can send, receive, buy, sell, and stake cryptocurrencies. Whether on Ledger® Live Desktop or the mobile version, it brings your digital assets together with complete transparency and control.
This app acts as the bridge between your hardware wallet and blockchain networks. Through its intuitive interface, you can manage multiple accounts, track portfolio performance, and verify every transaction directly on your device’s screen — ensuring complete security.
How to Download and Install Ledger® Live
To begin, perform a Ledger® Live Download from the official Ledger® website. Choose the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). For mobile, download it directly from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
After installation, connect your Ledger® hardware wallet using the USB or Bluetooth feature. The app will prompt you to add accounts and install apps for supported coins. This secure onboarding ensures only legitimate connections to your device.
Ledger® Live Login and Setup
When launching the app, set up a local password to secure your data. To log in, enter this password and connect your hardware wallet. The device acts as your authentication tool — meaning no centralized login exists, making your private keys and accounts fully decentralized.

Ledger® Account Recovery and 2FA Reset
Ledger® wallets don’t use traditional online 2FA methods. Instead, your 24-word recovery phrase acts as your master key. If your device is lost, damaged, or reset, you can recover your entire wallet using this phrase on a new Ledger® device.
Fixing Ledger® Live App and Verification Errors
If your Ledger® Live App is not working or you can’t verify your wallet, double-check your internet connection and software updates. Always confirm addresses shown in the app with those on your Ledger® device before approving any transaction. A mismatch may indicate a malicious app or corrupted cache — reinstalling often resolves this issue.
