3. Connect your device to your computer or phone via USB or Bluetooth.

Ledger Live: Manage Your Crypto Portfolio

Ledger Live is the official application for Ledger device users. It’s available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Features of Ledger Live include:

• Check balances and portfolio value across all your assets.
• Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
• Buy, swap, or stake crypto directly from the app.
• Install coin apps onto your Ledger device.
• View transaction history and monitor asset performance.
• Connect third-party dApps with Ledger through Web3 features.

All operations require confirmation on your physical Ledger device, adding a vital layer of protection.

Security Best Practices

Ledger is built around a security-first philosophy, but your actions matter too. Here are essential practices to stay secure:

• Buy Only from Official Sources: Always purchase from Ledger.com or authorized resellers to avoid tampered devices.
• Never Share Your Recovery Phrase: Not even with Ledger support. If someone knows it, they can steal your funds.
• Store Recovery Phrase Offline: Use fireproof document bags or secure vaults. Never store it digitally.
• Verify URLs: Only use official Ledger websites like ledger.com/start. Phishing sites mimic the brand.
• Enable Password Lock: Add an extra password layer in Ledger Live for more protection.
• Regular Updates: Keep both your device firmware and Ledger Live app up to date.
