Ledger Live is the secure application that manages your crypto assets. Download it from Ledger.com/ledger-live. Install the app on your desktop or mobile device to begin syncing with your Ledger wallet.
Follow the prompts on your Ledger device screen. Set a secure PIN code to protect against unauthorized access. Write down your recovery phrase carefully – this 24-word phrase is your ultimate backup and must be stored offline and in a safe place.
Ledger will ask you to confirm your recovery phrase by selecting words on your device. This crucial step ensures you have properly backed up your wallet, enabling you to recover your assets if your device is lost or damaged.
Use Ledger Live to add accounts for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Whether it’s Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or thousands of supported tokens, Ledger makes it easy to manage them all in one place securely.
Never store your recovery phrase digitally or online. Keep it written down on the official Ledger Recovery Sheet or use a metal backup for maximum durability and safety.
Enable an optional passphrase to create a hidden wallet inside your Ledger device. This extra layer protects your assets even if your recovery phrase is compromised.
Regularly update your Ledger Live app and device firmware through official channels to benefit from the latest security improvements and new features.
Avoid third-party tools and websites. Use only the official Ledger Live and Ledger.com/Start for device setup and management.
