Ledger® Live Desktop is the official software application designed to manage your cryptocurrency using a Ledger® hardware wallet. It provides a secure interface for sending, receiving, and staking digital assets. Unlike the Ledger® Live App for smartphones, the desktop version offers advanced controls, broader compatibility, and a stable environment for managing large portfolios.
After installation, connect your hardware device and open the Ledger® Live Desktop. Choose “Get Started,” select Initialize as new device or Restore from recovery phrase, and follow the on-screen steps. To complete the Ledger® Live login process, unlock your hardware wallet by entering your PIN.
Users may face errors like Ledger Login not working, Unable to login Ledger, or Error Connecting Ledger Account. Below are some solutions:
If you’re using the mobile Ledger® Live App and facing syncing issues or device detection failure, switch to Ledger® Live Desktop for stable performance. If Can’t verify Ledger® Wallet error appears, restart the app, clear cache from Settings > Help, and reconnect your device.
If you lose access to your device or application, Ledger® Account Recovery can be done using the 24-word recovery phrase. Enter the phrase on a new Ledger® device to restore all your assets locally. Ledger® doesn’t offer built-in 2FA, but if you activated 2FA on an exchange, follow that platform’s procedure for Ledger® 2FA reset.
