A concise, well-structured presentation (approx. 900 words) designed for office distribution. Uses Times New Roman 10pt and includes clear headings (H1–H5) and ten helpful links for immediate reference.

Overview

Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application for managing Ledger hardware wallets. It allows users to securely hold, send, receive, and swap cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys offline. This presentation explains how to download and set up Ledger Live, ensure a secure installation, and follow best practices for day-to-day wallet management.

Why use Ledger Live?

Ledger Live provides a user-friendly interface that connects to a Ledger hardware device (such as Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X). It aggregates account balances, shows transaction history, supports staking, and integrates with third-party apps. Critically, Ledger Live never exposes your private keys — those stay in the secure element on your hardware wallet.

Supported platforms

Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. Always download Ledger Live from official sources to avoid spoofed installers. Keep both the desktop app and your device firmware up to date for the latest security patches and coin support.

Download & Installation

Step-by-step

  1. Visit the official Ledger Live download page.
  2. Choose your operating system and download the installer.
  3. Verify the installer when possible (official checksums or signatures).
  4. Run the installer and follow on-screen prompts.
  5. Connect your Ledger device and open Ledger Live to complete setup.

Security checklist

Daily Use & Management

Once set up, Ledger Live helps you manage multiple accounts and currencies within a single interface. Use the accounts panel to add new cryptocurrencies, and regularly review transaction details on both the app and the device screen before approving operations. For business or office use, consider segregating funds across multiple devices and accounts to minimize exposure.

Backups & Recovery

Back up your 24-word recovery phrase immediately during device setup. Store it in a secure physical location — consider steel backups for enhanced durability. If you lose your device, the recovery phrase is the only reliable way to restore access to funds. Treat the recovery phrase as the highest security asset.

Practical office guidance

Maintain an internal policy for approval flows, keep recovery materials off-site, and train relevant staff on secure usage. Periodic audits of device firmware and app versions can prevent unnoticed vulnerabilities.

Troubleshooting & Help

If Ledger Live does not detect your device, try the official troubleshooting steps: update Ledger Live, reconnect the device, test a different USB cable/port, restart your computer, and verify firmware status on the device. When in doubt, consult Ledger's official support documentation and community resources.

Quick reminder: Ledger employees will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. If asked, treat it as a scam and stop communication immediately.
