Setting up Ledger® Live on your desktop computer is straightforward. Follow these steps to get started:
While Ledger® Live is designed to work seamlessly, you may encounter occasional issues. Here are solutions to common problems:
For more detailed troubleshooting, visit the official Ledger® Live support page.
Yes, Ledger® Live is completely safe when used correctly. The application operates in conjunction with your Ledger® hardware wallet, which stores your private keys offline. Transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger® device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain secure.
No, Ledger® Live is designed specifically to work with Ledger® hardware wallets. It serves as the interface between your computer and your secure hardware device. Without a Ledger® hardware wallet, you cannot use Ledger® Live to manage your cryptocurrency assets securely.
Updating Ledger® Live is simple. On desktop, the application will typically notify you when an update is available. You can also check for updates manually by going to Settings > About. Click "Check for updates" and follow the prompts. Always download updates from the official Ledger® website to ensure security.
Ledger® Live supports over 5,500 coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, and many more. The list of supported assets continues to grow as new apps are developed. You can check the full list of supported assets on the official Ledger® website.
To restore your account in Ledger® Live, open the application and select "Restore from recovery phrase." You'll need your 24-word recovery phrase that was generated when you first set up your Ledger® device. Enter the words in the correct order, and Ledger® Live will restore access to your accounts. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
Several factors can cause balance discrepancies in Ledger® Live. First, try refreshing the application by pulling down on the account screen. If that doesn't work, check that you've installed the correct cryptocurrency apps on your Ledger® device. Network congestion or server issues can also temporarily affect balance display. For persistent issues, contact Ledger® support.
