The secure interface where your **Ledger Live** experience begins. Manage over 5,000 digital assets with the confidence of hardware-backed security.
The **Ledger Live Wallet** is more than just software; it's the gateway to your crypto portfolio, anchored by the security of your Ledger device. It's the central platform for the entire **Ledger Live** experience.
Crucially, your crypto assets are never *in* the **Ledger Live Wallet**. The app provides a user-friendly interface to view balances and initiate transactions. Your private keys remain physically isolated on your Ledger hardware device.
The wallet facilitates sending, receiving, buying, swapping, and staking crypto. It also handles essential device maintenance, like firmware updates for your hardware wallet, ensuring robust security.
Whether you use the **Ledger Live Desktop** client or the **Ledger Live App** on mobile, the core experience is unified. Starting at **Ledger.com/start** ensures you are always accessing the legitimate, secure platform.
Accessing your **Ledger Live Wallet** involves two layers of authentication: your device PIN and your software password.
Connect your Ledger device and enter the PIN directly on the device itself. This is the only **Ledger Live Login** step that truly authenticates your identity to the hardware.
Enter the password for the **Ledger Live Desktop** or **Ledger Live App**. This password encrypts your local application data (like account names and settings), providing privacy, but it is **not** your device PIN.
For any transaction (sending, swapping), the **Ledger Live Wallet** will prompt you to physically confirm and sign the details on your Ledger hardware device, ensuring your funds are safe from external malware.
Always ensure you download the **Ledger Live** software from the official source, starting with **Ledger.com/start**, to avoid phishing and counterfeit applications.
The desktop application provides full functionality, including installing apps on your device and managing firmware updates. It is the most robust way to access your **Ledger Live Wallet**.
