What is Ledger® Live?

Ledger® Live is the companion application for Ledger® hardware wallets that lets you manage cryptocurrencies, view portfolio balances, send and receive coins and NFTs, and install apps on your device. Available as a desktop app and a mobile app, Ledger® Live connects to your Ledger® device locally — the private keys remain on the hardware device at all times.

Where to download & login

Always use official Ledger® links to download apps and access support:

Troubleshooting common login & connectivity issues

If you see "Ledger Login not working", "Unable to login Ledger" or "Error Connecting Ledger Account", try these safe steps first:

  • Confirm you downloaded Ledger Live from ledger.com and not a third-party site.
  • Restart Ledger Live and reconnect your Ledger® hardware device using the official USB cable; try a different USB port.
  • Ensure your Ledger® device firmware and Ledger Live app are up to date via the official update flow.
  • If Ledger Live can't verify your device, review the device PIN, and only restore from your original 24-word recovery phrase — never share it online.
  • For account-level problems like "Ledger 2fa reset" — note: Ledger® hardware wallets rely on seed phrase/PIN; for service 2FA tied to exchanges or apps, follow those service’s 2FA reset flows.

When in doubt, search the Ledger® Help Center for step-by-step articles.

Account recovery & safety

Ledger® account recovery is performed with your recovery phrase (seed). Ledger® staff will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. If you suspect a compromise, move assets to a new wallet you control and consider contacting Ledger® support for guidance.

Quick checklist before contacting support

  • Did you update Ledger Live to the latest version?
  • Is your device firmware current?
  • Have you tried a different USB cable/port or another computer/mobile?
  • Can you reproduce the issue with a different account or coin?
