A compact, friendly walkthrough to set up Ledger® and use Ledger® Live securely — designed in an official, easy-to-follow format.
Ledger® Live is the official desktop and mobile application that lets you manage your crypto assets with Ledger hardware wallets. Use it to receive, send, swap, and track assets while keeping your keys secure on your Ledger device.
Always check your device and packaging for tamper‑evidence and follow Ledger's verification steps to ensure authenticity.
Download Ledger® Live only from the official Ledger website and follow installation prompts.
Set a PIN on your Ledger device and write down the recovery phrase. Store the recovery phrase offline and never share it.
Open Ledger® Live, add accounts for the coins you want to use, and install relevant blockchain apps via the Manager.
Always confirm transaction details on your Ledger device screen — never approve a transaction blindly from your computer.
Write the phrase on the provided card or a secure metal backup. Do not store it in cloud notes or photos.
Only use official Ledger domain resources for downloads, support, and firmware updates. Beware of phishing sites and links.
Keep Ledger Live and your device firmware up to date to benefit from the latest features and security patches.
