The Ledger Live App is the official companion software for Ledger® hardware wallets, providing a unified platform to manage your entire cryptocurrency portfolio. This powerful application serves as the bridge between your secure hardware device and the blockchain, allowing you to send, receive, and grow your assets while maintaining the highest security standards.
To begin your secure crypto journey, visit Ledger.com/start for comprehensive setup instructions. The process involves:
Ledger Live Desktop: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, the desktop version offers full functionality with enhanced security. The Ledger Live download process is straightforward from the official website.
Ledger Live Mobile App: The mobile application for iOS and Android provides on-the-go access to your portfolio while maintaining security through Bluetooth connectivity with compatible Ledger® devices.
The Ledger Live login process is uniquely secure. Unlike traditional software wallets, accessing your funds requires physical confirmation on your Ledger® hardware device. This two-factor authentication ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain protected within the secure element of your hardware wallet.
