FAQ
Is Ledger Live required to use my Ledger device?
Ledger Live is the official companion app for managing accounts, installing apps, and verifying transactions with your Ledger hardware wallet.
What if I already have a recovery phrase?
Choose “Restore from recovery phrase” during initialization and enter it on the device—never on your computer or phone.
Can I use it on desktop and mobile?
Yes. Ledger Live is available for major desktop OSes and mobile platforms. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
