Ledger® Live: Login | Download and Install Ledger Wallet®

Ledger® Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to help users securely manage their cryptocurrency assets in one place. Whether you’re checking balances, sending or receiving crypto, or installing apps on your device, Ledger® Live acts as the control center for your Ledger wallet.

What Is Ledger® Live?

Ledger® Live is a desktop and mobile application developed by Ledger to interact with Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. The app allows users to manage multiple cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys safely stored offline on the hardware wallet.

Unlike web-based wallets, Ledger® Live does not store your private keys online. All sensitive actions must be confirmed directly on your Ledger device, adding an extra layer of security.

How to Download and Install Ledger® Live

To get started, users should download Ledger® Live only from the official Ledger website. The app is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

After downloading:

  1. Install the application on your device.
  2. Open Ledger® Live and choose to set up a new device or connect an existing one.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup and verification.

Always ensure your operating system is up to date before installation to avoid compatibility issues.

Ledger® Live Login and Device Access

Ledger® Live itself does not require a traditional username or password login. Access is granted by connecting your Ledger hardware wallet and confirming actions on the device. This design minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and phishing attempts.

If you enable optional features like password lock within the app, it adds another layer of protection for local access.
