Ledger Live Desktop | Secure Crypto Management App for Windows & Mac

Install & Ledger Live ® Login

Download Ledger Live Desktop ® for Windows, macOS or Linux from the official page. Install, connect your Ledger device, and open the app. Choose "Manager" to install apps on your device and then add accounts. When prompted to sign in with your device, follow on-device confirmations — Ledger Live ® does not store private keys.

Ledger Live ® Exchange & App

The Exchange/Swap features inside Ledger Live ® let you trade supported assets via partnered providers. Because exchanges involve third-party services, confirm the provider's fees and supported tokens before swapping. For official details, visit Ledger Live Desktop ®.

Troubleshooting Common Login & Connection Issues

Ledger Live ® Login not working — ensure your Ledger device is unlocked and the correct app (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) is open on device.
Unable to login / Error Connecting Ledger Live ® Account — try a different USB cable/port, update Ledger Live Desktop ® to latest, and update device firmware.
Can't verify Ledger Live ® — always download the app from the official domain and verify checksum/signature shown on the site.
Ledger Live ® 2FA reset — Ledger Live uses device confirmations rather than a typical 2FA code; consult Ledger Help Center for account recovery steps if you lose device or passphrase.
Error: transaction declined — check device firmware and app version, confirm correct nonce/gas settings, and ensure account balance covers fees.

If problems persist, consult the Ledger Help Center for step-by-step guides and official downloads.

Account Recovery & Safety

Ledger Live ® cannot recover your funds without your recovery phrase. If your device is lost or damaged, use your 24-word recovery phrase (Seed) on a new Ledger device or compatible recovery tool. Never share your recovery phrase online. Official support: support.ledger.com.
