Ledger Live works by connecting your Ledger hardware wallet to a desktop or mobile device. Once connected, the app allows you to manage your assets while your private keys stay protected offline. This process reduces the risk of phishing, hacking, and unauthorized access. The app acts as a management layer, facilitating secure communication between your hardware wallet and the blockchain networks you interact with.
Getting started with Ledger Live involves a few simple steps:
Download and install Ledger Live on your desktop or mobile device.
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet.
Initialize your device, set up a PIN, and note your recovery phrase.
Add crypto accounts for the assets you want to manage.
Start buying, receiving, or transferring crypto securely.
The setup process is beginner-friendly and includes guided steps to ensure users follow proper security practices.
