To install the Ledger Live App on your mobile device:
Unlike traditional applications, Ledger Live App doesn't use username/password authentication. Instead:
Yes, the Ledger Live App is designed with security as the top priority. Your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware wallet, and all transactions must be physically confirmed on the device. The app itself doesn't store your private keys, making it secure even if your phone is lost or compromised.
No, the Ledger Live App requires a Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X) to function. The app is designed as an interface for your hardware wallet, not as a standalone software wallet.
Ledger Live Desktop offers the complete feature set including advanced portfolio analysis, buying/selling options, and full DeFi access. The mobile app focuses on essential functions like checking balances, sending/receiving crypto, and staking, optimized for on-the-go use.
Ledger® uses a unique security model where your identity is tied to your physical device, not online credentials. This approach eliminates risks associated with password theft, phishing, and database breaches. You authenticate by connecting and approving actions on your hardware wallet.
Yes, you can restore your wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase through the Ledger Live App. This process is available in the app settings under "Restore from recovery phrase." Always ensure you're in a secure environment when entering your recovery phrase.
The Ledger Live App supports all current Ledger® hardware wallets. Ledger® Nano X connects via Bluetooth, while Nano S and Nano S Plus require a USB OTG cable (Android) or a compatible Lightning to USB cable (iOS).
