STEP 02 / FIRST-TIME SETUP

Small steps.
More confidence.

Ledger Live pairs with a Ledger hardware wallet. Take your time, follow the on-screen instructions, and confirm important actions on your device.

STEP 03 / KEEP IT CURRENT
CHECK IN THE APP

Updates, without
the guesswork.

Ledger Live releases can change over time. Rather than trust a version number from a random post, check for updates directly in Ledger Live or revisit the official download page.

ALWAYS WORTH KNOWING

Keep the keys
with you.

Security isn't a setting. It's a few simple habits that keep control where it belongs: with you.

Explore Ledger Academy
01 / PRIVATE

Your recovery phrase is yours alone.

Never enter it online or share it with anyone—not support, not a friend, not us.

02 / VERIFY

Trust your device screen.

Check transaction details on the hardware wallet before approving them.

03 / PAUSE

Urgency is a red flag.

Ignore unsolicited messages, fake support accounts, and surprise download links.

GOOD TO KNOW

Where should I download Ledger Live?

Use Ledger's official Ledger Live page or the official Apple App Store / Google Play Store listing. Avoid third-party download portals, search ads, and links sent in messages.

Do I need a Ledger device to use Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets. A device helps you keep private keys offline and confirm transactions on the device itself.

How do I know whether I have the latest version?

Check the update notice within Ledger Live or compare with the current release on Ledger's official site. Release availability can vary by platform, so we don't publish a static version number here.

Will Ledger support ever ask for my recovery phrase?

No. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone or enter it into an app, website, or support conversation. Anyone who asks for it is not legitimate support.
