Security at the Core

Ledger Live doesn’t store your private keys or recovery phrase. These remain protected in your Ledger hardware wallet at all times. Every transaction must be verified and physically approved on your device.

• End-to-End Encryption: Ensures your data stays private and secure.
• No Account Login: Ledger Live uses device-based authentication—no emails or passwords.
• Manual Verification: All transactions are approved on the device to prevent unauthorized activity.

Ledger Live vs Other Wallets

Most software wallets store keys on your device, exposing them to malware and phishing. Ledger Live works in tandem with a hardware wallet to protect your assets with a secure element chip and OS-level protection.

You get the convenience of a mobile app with the unmatched security of cold storage.

Helpful Tips for First-Time Users

• Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone or any app.
• Bookmark the official Ledger website to avoid phishing scams.
• Update your Ledger device firmware regularly for optimal security.
• Use a secure internet connection while using the app.
