Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ledger Live Desktop and Mobile App? +

Ledger Live Desktop offers the full feature set including portfolio management, buying/selling crypto, staking, and advanced settings. The mobile app focuses on portfolio tracking and basic operations. Both connect to the same Ledger hardware wallet for security, but the desktop version typically receives new features first.

How do I download and install Ledger Live Desktop? +

Visit the official Ledger website at ledger.com/ledger-live/download, select your operating system, and download the installer. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Always verify you're downloading from the official Ledger domain to avoid phishing attempts.

Is there a traditional Ledger Live Login with username and password? +

No, Ledger Live doesn't use traditional username/password authentication. Instead, you physically connect your Ledger hardware wallet and verify transactions directly on the device. This ensures that your private keys never leave the secure element of your hardware wallet, providing maximum security against online threats.

Can I use Ledger Live Desktop without a Ledger hardware wallet? +

While you can download and install Ledger Live Desktop without a hardware wallet, you cannot access most features.

Without it, you can only use limited functionality like exploring the app interface or checking cryptocurrency prices.

Ledger Live Desktop automatically checks for updates and notifies you when a new version is available. You can also manually check by going to Settings > Help > Check for updates.
