Ledger Live Desktop provides a convenient workspace for managing compatible Ledger hardware wallets, reviewing account activity, checking balances, and organizing your digital assets from a desktop computer.
Explore Desktop SetupA desktop wallet interface can make everyday asset management easier by keeping important account information together in one place. Before using Ledger Live Desktop, make sure your hardware wallet is available, your computer is updated, and you are using trusted software obtained from a legitimate source. Take time to review every screen before confirming an action.
Connect your compatible Ledger hardware wallet to your computer and follow the displayed instructions carefully. Keep the device under your control throughout the setup process.
Use the desktop interface to review supported accounts, balances and recent activity. Check account details carefully before proceeding with transactions.
Keep your device PIN and recovery information private. Never provide recovery words to websites, applications, messages or people requesting them.
Security starts with protecting the information that controls access to your wallet. Your recovery phrase should remain private and offline. Never type it into a website or send it through email, chat or social media. Your PIN should also remain confidential. If an unexpected message, pop-up or application asks for sensitive recovery information, stop and verify the source before continuing.
Ledger Live Desktop can help organize wallet activity, but users should still verify every important action themselves. Check addresses and transaction information on your trusted device, avoid unknown links, and download wallet software only from sources you independently trust.
