Ledger® users often begin their crypto journey through Ledger.com/start, the official setup portal for initializing a Ledger® hardware wallet and installing the Ledger Live application. Whether you are configuring a new device, fixing login errors, or downloading the wallet interface, Ledger.com/start provides a secure entry point to begin managing digital assets with maximum safety.
Visiting Ledger.com/start guides you through selecting your Ledger® device, completing hardware setup, and installing Ledger Live. This portal ensures that new users understand essential security steps, such as verifying packaging, creating PINs, and securely storing the recovery phrase.
The Ledger Live Wallet acts as the central dashboard for managing cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and supported Web3 services. It connects directly to your Ledger® hardware wallet, providing secure offline signing for all transactions. Ledger Live is available on both desktop and mobile, ensuring convenient access across devices.
You can download the latest official version of Ledger Live from the Ledger® website. The platform supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Avoid downloading Ledger Live from third-party sources to prevent phishing and unauthorized applications.
The desktop version offers the most comprehensive control, including advanced portfolio tracking, staking, and secure app installation for various blockchains.
The mobile app provides secure connectivity via Bluetooth (for supported devices). It includes quick account access, transaction approval, and portfolio overview capabilities.
Ledger Live does not use a traditional username/password login. Instead, it relies on your Ledger® hardware wallet for authentication. However, several login-related issues can occur during connection or device verification.
Ledger® does not store or manage user accounts. Instead, recovery depends on your 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase. If you lose access to your device, you can restore your account on a new Ledger® hardware wallet using this phrase.
For users who have enabled additional authentication methods within third-party platforms (exchanges or DeFi platforms), a Ledger 2FA reset must be performed through those platforms, not Ledger® itself.
If issues persist despite troubleshooting, the Ledger Help Center offers detailed articles, device repair options, and customer support. Always ensure you use the official website to avoid scams pretending to be Ledger® support.

No. Ledger Live uses your Ledger® device for authentication. There is no traditional login system.
Q4: How can I recover my Ledger® if it’s lost?
Use your 24-word recovery phrase to restore your crypto accounts on a new Ledger® hardware wallet.
Q5: Why is Ledger Live not working on my computer?
Check for updates, ensure your OS is compatible, and reinstall Ledger Live if needed.
Q6: Does Ledger® support 2FA?
2FA is handled by external platforms. Ledger® itself relies on hardware security, not software authentication.
