Step-by-Step Ledger Live Desktop Setup
After installation, Ledger Live will prompt you to either create a new wallet or restore an existing one. Creating a new wallet generates a 24-word recovery phrase that acts as your master key. This phrase should be written down and stored safely offline.
Once your recovery phrase is secured, set a PIN on your Ledger device. The PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access. Optionally, enable a passphrase for additional security to safeguard your assets further.
Ledger Live Desktop allows you to add multiple cryptocurrency accounts, check balances, send and receive tokens, and view your portfolio in real-time. Firmware updates, transaction signing, and security notifications help keep your assets protected.
Ledger.com/Start also provides educational guidance, including tips to avoid phishing attacks, malware threats, and other security risks. Following these instructions ensures your cryptocurrencies remain safe and fully under your control.
Ledger® Live Desktop combined with your Ledger hardware wallet provides a seamless, secure experience for managing digital assets. Start using Ledger Live today and experience the peace of mind that comes with robust security and full control over your crypto portfolio.
