What is Ledger® Live Wallet? Ledger® Live is the official desktop and mobile app that lets you manage cryptocurrency on your Ledger® hardware wallet. It connects to your device (Ledger Nano S / X) and provides portfolio views, send/receive, staking and app management.

Ledger® Live Download & Installation

Always download from official sources. For desktop use the Ledger® Live Download page (choose Windows, macOS or Linux). For mobile, install the Ledger® Live App from official app stores. After installation, follow the on-screen wizard to create or restore an account.

Ledger® Live Desktop vs Ledger® Live App

The Ledger® Live Desktop client offers richer management tools, while the mobile app provides on-the-go portfolio monitoring and simple operations. Both require your hardware device or recovery phrase for full control — never enter your seed on a phone or PC except when restoring via the official Ledger® workflow.

Ledger® Live Login & Common Login Problems

Ledger® Live login uses a device unlock or app-defined PIN. If you see Ledger Login not working, verify USB cables, try a different port, update Ledger® Live to the latest version and ensure Ledger® firmware is current. If the app won't detect your device, toggle the device Bluetooth (for Nano X) or use a different cable.

Troubleshooting: Error Connecting Ledger Account & App Not Working

Common fixes for Error Connecting Ledger Account and Ledger Live App not Working include restarting Ledger® Live, rebooting your computer, updating device firmware, and reinstalling the Ledger® Live app. Use the official Ledger Help Center resources for step-by-step device recovery and software compatibility notes.

Account Recovery, 2FA Reset and Verification

If you need Ledger Account Recovery, restore using your 24-word recovery phrase on a genuine Ledger® device only. Ledger® never asks for your seed via email or chat. There is no centralized "Ledger 2fa reset" because the hardware seed is the root of trust — lost seed means lost access unless you have your recovery phrase. If you Can't verify Ledger Wallet, confirm device authenticity and use official verification steps from Ledger®'s site.

Interoperability: Unable to Ledger® Trezor?

The phrase Unable to Ledger Trezor often refers to migrating or using assets between Ledger® devices and Trezor hardware. While both use similar standards (BIP39/BIP44), there is no direct "migration" button — export or restore via a safe recovery process and always double-check addresses before transfers.

When to Contact the Ledger® Help Center

Contact support for firmware issues, suspected counterfeit devices, or complex account recovery scenarios. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with support or anyone. Use the Help Center's official guides and support portal for secure troubleshooting.
