About Ledger Live & Login
Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application that pairs with your Ledger hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X). Ledger Live Login occurs locally — the application connects to your device and verifies transactions on the device screen so private keys never leave the hardware.

Getting Started — Quick Steps
- Visit Ledger.com/start and follow the official onboarding guide.
- Download Ledger Live Desktop or mobile from Ledger Live Download.
- Connect your Ledger hardware, open Ledger Live, and choose "Initialize as new device" or "Restore from recovery phrase".
- Complete Ledger Live Login by confirming actions on your device screen — PIN and recovery phrase never enter the app.
Security Best Practices
- Only download Ledger Live from the official Ledger domain.
- Never share your 24-word recovery phrase — Ledger will never ask for it in the app.
- Verify firmware updates and app installations on the device display.
Troubleshooting
If Ledger Live cannot detect your device, try a different USB cable/port, update Ledger Live to the latest version, and ensure your OS permissions allow USB/HID access. Consult Ledger Support for device-specific help.
