02 / PROTECT YOUR ACCESS

Security starts
with your keys.

Ledger Live displays your accounts, but your recovery phrase controls access to your assets. Keep it private and offline, and treat unexpected requests as a warning sign.

01

Keep your recovery phrase offline

Write it down and store it securely. No legitimate Ledger representative will ask you to share it.

✓
02

Check every address on-device

Verify recipient addresses and transaction details on your Ledger device before confirming.

✓
03

Ignore urgent “account recovery” links

Don’t connect your wallet through unsolicited messages. Navigate to official support yourself.

✓
04

Use a trusted, updated device

Keep Ledger Live and your computer or phone up to date; avoid downloads from ads and third parties.

✓
03 / AFTER YOU CONNECT

Your accounts, in one view

Once connected, Ledger Live helps you check balances and organize supported accounts. A portfolio view is informational; transactions still require your review.

▤

Account overview

Review supported crypto accounts and their balances from the portfolio interface.

⌁

Wallet connectivity

Connect a compatible Ledger device when the app asks, and confirm sensitive actions on-device.

↗

Portfolio tracking

Follow balance changes and activity. Market values fluctuate and are not a guarantee of future results.

04 / QUICK ANSWERS

Ledger Live login FAQ

Clear answers to common questions about opening the app and keeping access secure.

Is there a Ledger Live web login? +

Ledger Live is primarily accessed through the official desktop or mobile application. Be cautious of websites claiming to be a Ledger Live login portal, especially if they ask for your recovery phrase.

Do I need my recovery phrase to log in? +

No. Your recovery phrase is used to restore access to a wallet and must remain secret. Ledger Live access and device connection should never require you to enter it into a website or support form.

What if Ledger Live does not detect my device? +

Try a data-capable cable or another USB port, unlock your device, close other wallet apps, and check that Ledger Live is up to date. Consult official Ledger Support if you still need help.

Can I manage a portfolio without connecting a device? +

Some account information may be viewable in the app, but actions that require private-key authorization must be approved on your Ledger device. Never approve an action you did not initiate.

How do I know I have the genuine app? +

Start from Ledger’s official website and follow its download links. Verify the app publisher and avoid sponsored search results or download mirrors.

WHEN IN DOUBT, VERIFY

Go straight to the source.

Use official Ledger resources for app downloads, product support, and security education.
