About Ledger Live
Ledger Live provides a secure interface to view balances, manage accounts, install coin apps, and interact with partner services. It keeps your private keys on your Ledger device and uses the app only as a management surface. During setup, Ledger Live never requests your recovery phrase — that phrase must remain offline and private at all times.
Installation tips
- Download from the official domain and verify checksum if you want extra assurance.
- Choose a quiet workspace and keep your recovery card or metal backup ready.
- Do not enter your recovery phrase into any software or web form.
- For large holdings consider multisig or hardware-split strategies for added resilience.
