Install, initialize, secure
After downloading, follow the Ledger Live installer. Use the guided onboarding to initialize your Ledger device, choose a PIN, and write your recovery phrase on physical media. Never store your recovery phrase in photos, cloud storage, or emails. Ledger Live will never request your recovery phrase — the device displays words on-screen for offline recording.
Ledger Live also helps you install signed firmware updates, add blockchain accounts, and connect to vetted partner services. For dApp interactions, confirm every signature on your device display and test integrations with a small amount first.
