Ledger Login — Download & Install Ledger Live

Step-by-step instructions to download Ledger Live, install it safely, connect your Ledger device, and log in securely.

Quick start: Download, Install, Login

This guide walks you through getting Ledger Live on your computer or mobile device and securely signing in with your Ledger hardware wallet.

1
Download Ledger Live

Visit the official Ledger start page and choose the download for your operating system: ledger.com/start.

2
Run the installer

Open the downloaded installer and follow on-screen instructions. On macOS you may need to allow the app in System Preferences → Security & Privacy.

3
Open Ledger Live & update

Launch Ledger Live and accept any updates. If Ledger Live prompts to update firmware, only proceed when prompted and verify the prompts on your device.

4
Connect your Ledger device

Attach your Ledger Nano using USB (or Bluetooth for Nano X). Enter your PIN on the device to unlock it. Ledger Live should automatically detect the device.

5
Login & verify

Use Ledger Live to access the dashboard. For every transaction or sensitive action, confirm details directly on your Ledger device screen before approving.

Security best practices

  • Always download Ledger Live from ledger.com/start.
  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase or PIN. Ledger support will never ask for them.
  • Verify firmware and transaction details on your Ledger device screen.
  • Buy hardware only from official channels or authorized resellers.

Troubleshooting & common problems

Device not detected? Try a different USB cable or port, ensure Ledger Live is updated, and reboot your computer. For Bluetooth pairing issues (Nano X), toggle Bluetooth and re-pair the device.

If issues persist, open Ledger Support for detailed guides and diagnostic steps.
