Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about setting up your Ledger device

What do I need to set up my Ledger device?

To set up your Ledger device, you'll need: your Ledger hardware wallet, a computer or smartphone with internet access, the USB cable that came with your device, and a pen and paper to write down your recovery phrase.

How do I install Ledger Live?

You can download Ledger Live from our official website. Simply go to Ledger.com, click on "Ledger Live" in the navigation, select your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux), and follow the installation instructions.

What is the recovery phrase and why is it important?

Your recovery phrase is a 24-word list that serves as a backup of your private keys. If your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore access to your cryptocurrencies using this phrase on a new Ledger device. It's crucial to keep this phrase secure and private.

Can I use my Ledger device with multiple computers?

Yes, you can use your Ledger device with multiple computers as long as Ledger Live is installed on each computer. Your cryptocurrencies are stored on the blockchain, not on your device or computer, so you can access them from any compatible device with your Ledger hardware wallet.
