Ledger® Live Download is the starting point for anyone using a Ledger® hardware wallet. Ledger® Live — available as Ledger® Live Desktop for Windows, macOS and Linux, and as the Ledger® Live App for iOS and Android — is the official interface for managing crypto, installing apps on your device, sending and receiving assets, and performing firmware updates.

Why download Ledger® Live from official sources?

Always use the official Ledger® website or the verified app stores to download Ledger® Live. Third-party sources can deliver tampered installers or phishing variants. After download, the installation flow guides you through device initialization, or restoring via your 24-word recovery phrase. Remember — Ledger® never asks for your seed outside the hardware device.

Preparing for Ledger® Live login

Successful Ledger Live login typically requires two things: the app installation and access to your Ledger® hardware (or your local app PIN). For desktop, connect the device via a reliable USB cable; for the Nano X, Bluetooth pairing with the Ledger® Live App is available. Unlock your Ledger® device before attempting login so the app can detect it.

Quick checklist: use the original USB cable, update OS drivers, enable Bluetooth for Nano X, and run the latest Ledger® Live version.

Troubleshooting common issues

If you find Ledger Login not working or the Ledger Live App not working, try: restarting the app and device, testing another USB port or cable, updating Ledger® Live and device firmware, and reinstalling the app. For “Error Connecting Ledger Account” confirm the device is unlocked and that your OS grants USB permissions. Disable VPNs or other wallet extensions that may interfere with local connections.

Account recovery, verification, and 2FA

Ledger Account Recovery is performed only with your 24-word recovery phrase on a genuine Ledger® device. There is no central Ledger 2fa reset — security roots in the hardware and seed. If you Can’t verify Ledger Wallet, run Ledger®'s built-in authenticity checks and contact the official Ledger Help Center for guidance.

Interoperability: Unable to Ledger® Trezor?

“Unable to Ledger Trezor” refers to attempts to use Trezor hardware with Ledger® Live. These ecosystems use different official tools; Trezor devices are supported by Trezor Suite. Don’t attempt cross-vendor fixes without referencing vendor documentation — mixing workflows can risk your funds.

When to contact Ledger® Help Center

Contact Ledger® Help Center for firmware failures, suspected counterfeit devices, or device behavior that suggests hardware faults. Never share your recovery phrase with support or anyone else; support will guide you through official diagnostics only.
