Download the installer and verify its authenticity if prompted.
Install and open the software, then connect your Ledger® hardware wallet via USB.

2. Download Ledger® Live App (Mobile)

Go to Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS).
Search for “Ledger® Live” and verify it's from Ledger®'s official publisher.
Install and open the app. Pair your device using Bluetooth (for Nano X) or cable (for Nano S Plus with OTG adapter).

Common Ledger® Login Issues & Fixes

Ledger® Login Not Working / Unable to Login Ledger®

Ensure your Ledger® device is unlocked and on the home screen.
Use the original USB cable or tested data cable.
Update Ledger® Live and the device firmware to the latest version.
Disable VPN, firewall, or antivirus blocking connections.

Error Connecting Ledger® Account / Can't Verify Ledger® Wallet

This usually happens when the app version or firmware is outdated. Update both using Manager in Ledger® Live. Also ensure you're inside the correct currency app on the device during verification.

Ledger® Live App Not Working

Clear app cache or reinstall Ledger® Live.
Reset Bluetooth on mobile devices.
Try a different USB port on desktop.
Check internet connection and firewall permissions.

Ledger® Account Recovery & 2FA Reset

Ledger® does not store your private keys or account passwords. Your 24-word recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet. If you forget PIN or lose your device:

Purchase a new Ledger® device.
Select “Restore from Recovery Phrase.”
Enter the 24-word phrase to recover accounts.

Ledger® does not provide 2FA reset services, as 2FA is controlled by third-party platforms, not Ledger® Live.

When to Contact Ledger® Help Center?

If you face persistent connectivity errors, app crashes, or firmware update failures, visit the Ledger® Help Center. Submit a support ticket—but never share your 24-word recovery phrase, PIN, or private keys.
