YOUR SECURITY CHECKLIST
Keep the keys
in your hands.
Wallet safety begins with a simple rule: your recovery phrase is for you alone. Treat it as the master backup to your assets.

No legitimate support agent needs your 24 words. Never disclose or type them into a website, app, message, or call.
Verify every address
Check the full web address before downloading software or signing in. Bookmark official resources for future visits.
Approve on the device
Check destination addresses and transaction details on your hardware wallet screen. Reject anything you did not initiate.

More answers at official support ↗How do I sign in to Ledger Live?
Open the official Ledger Live app on your computer or phone, then follow its on-screen setup or unlock instructions. Connect or pair your Ledger hardware wallet when prompted and confirm sensitive actions directly on the device. Ledger Live is the companion app; your private keys remain protected by your hardware wallet.
Do I need a Ledger account password to access my wallet?
Wallet access and online account access are not the same thing. A hardware wallet is unlocked using its device PIN, while app features and optional services may have their own sign-in flows. Use only the official app and follow its current instructions; never enter your recovery phrase into a website or share it with support.
What should I do if Ledger Live does not recognize my device?
Start with the basics: use a compatible cable or connection, unlock the device with its PIN, check that Ledger Live is up to date, and try another USB port or trusted device. Review official Ledger support guidance for your exact device and operating system. Do not reset a wallet unless you understand how your recovery phrase restores it.
Is it safe to enter my 24-word recovery phrase to log in?
No. A recovery phrase is a backup that can restore full control of a wallet—not a login password. Do not type it into Ledger Live, a browser, a form, a chat, or a support page. Anyone who obtains it may be able to take your assets.
Where should I download Ledger Live?
Use Ledger’s official Ledger Live page at ledger.com/ledger-live. Check the address carefully, avoid sponsored search results and unsolicited download links, and do not install wallet apps from messages or pop-ups.
