What is Ledger.com/start?
Ledger.com/start is the verified entry point to set up your Ledger® hardware wallet and install the Ledger® Live software. Through Ledger Live, users can manage cryptocurrencies, track portfolios, install apps, and perform secure transactions directly using the Ledger® Nano series devices.
Ledger® Live Download and Installation
To begin, visit Ledger.com/start and select the correct version of Ledger® Live Desktop for Windows, macOS, or Linux. For mobile users, download the Ledger® Live App from the App Store or Google Play. Verify the file signature before installation to ensure authenticity.
Once installed, connect your Ledger® device and follow on-screen instructions to initialize or restore your wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase.
Using Ledger® Live Wallet and Login
The Ledger Live wallet acts as your gateway to securely send, receive, and manage multiple cryptocurrencies. The Ledger Live login process does not require a traditional username or password; instead, you authenticate using your Ledger® hardware device for maximum security.
Troubleshooting Ledger® Login and Connection Issues
- Ledger Login not working: Update the Ledger® firmware and ensure Ledger® Live is the latest version. Reboot both the computer and device.
- Error connecting Ledger Account: Check your USB connection or try another port. Disable any interfering antivirus or firewall temporarily.
- Ledger Live App not working: Clear cache, reinstall the app, and verify your internet connection. Ensure Bluetooth permissions are enabled for Nano X devices.
- Can't verify Ledger Wallet: Verify the address directly on your hardware screen. Never approve transactions that don't match your device display.
- Ledger 2FA reset: If two-factor authentication (2FA) is lost on a linked service, reset it via that service’s account recovery flow — Ledger® does not control third-party 2FA systems.
- Unable to Ledger® Trezor: Ledger® and Trezor wallets operate on separate ecosystems. You cannot interchange them directly.
Ledger® Account Recovery and Help Center
If you ever lose access to your wallet, use your 24-word recovery phrase to restore it. Ledger® cannot recover your wallet for you—your recovery phrase is the only key to restore funds. Always store it offline and never share it with anyone, including support representatives.
For persistent issues, visit the Ledger® Help Center. It provides official troubleshooting articles, video tutorials, and verified contact options for customer support.
