A PRACTICAL COMPANION
More context.
Less guesswork.
Ledger Live brings key account and device tasks together in one interface. Here are the everyday tools worth getting familiar with.
Accounts that make sense
Create separate accounts for supported assets or personal purposes. A little organization helps distinguish long-term holdings from activity you want to monitor more closely.
See account tips ↗Transactions with context
Review incoming and outgoing activity alongside account details. Always double-check the network, destination, and amount before confirming a transaction on your device.
Review tracking basics ↗Your device, connected
Pair the app with a compatible Ledger device to manage supported accounts. Keep the device close, unlock it yourself, and follow prompts displayed on its screen.

A NOTE WORTH REPEATING
Your recovery phrase
is never for sharing.
Never type your 24-word recovery phrase into a website, share it with support, or photograph it for cloud storage. Ledger will never ask you to reveal it. Anyone who obtains it may be able to access your crypto. Keep it private and physically secure, and verify suspicious requests through official channels.

KEEP YOUR SETUP CURRENT
Updates, without
the uncertainty.
Use the app’s own update prompts and official Ledger channels to learn about new versions and supported features. Before an update, ensure you understand the instructions and have your recovery information stored safely offline. No legitimate update requires you to enter your recovery phrase into a website.

Short answers to common Ledger Live questions.
Is Ledger Live the same as a hardware wallet?+
No. Ledger Live is companion software used with compatible Ledger devices. The device is the hardware wallet; the app provides an interface for managing supported accounts and actions.
Does the app hold my recovery phrase?+
Your recovery phrase is created and kept securely offline as part of your hardware wallet setup. Never enter it into Ledger Live, a website, or a message sent by someone claiming to offer support.
Are all crypto assets and networks supported?+
Support varies by asset, network, device, and software version. Confirm current compatibility and instructions in official Ledger documentation before making a transaction.
Is this an official Ledger website?+
No. This is an independent informational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Ledger. Always use Ledger’s official website for downloads and account support.
