Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the app is highly secure. Your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware wallet, and all transactions require physical confirmation on your device.

2. Can I use the Ledger® Live App without a hardware wallet?

You can view market data, but to manage cryptocurrencies you must connect a Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano X, or Nano S Plus).

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled (for Nano X), your device is unlocked, and the firmware is updated. Try restarting both devices if issues persist.

Updates are available through your device's app store. Enable automatic updates for the best security.

6. What should I do if my phone is lost or stolen?

Your crypto remains safe as it's secured by your Ledger® device. Simply install the app on a new device and reconnect your hardware wallet.
