Step-by-Step Desktop Setup for Ledger Live

Once installed, Ledger Live will prompt you to create or recover a wallet. Creating a new wallet generates a 24-word recovery phrase, which acts as your master key. Carefully write it down and store it securely offline. This is the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

After securing your recovery phrase, set a PIN on your Ledger device. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access. You can also enable an optional passphrase for additional security.

Ledger Live Desktop allows you to add multiple cryptocurrency accounts, view balances, and execute transactions safely. Real-time portfolio management, secure transaction signing, and notifications for firmware updates ensure the highest level of security.

Ledger.com/Start provides guidance and resources for safe cryptocurrency practices, including tips for avoiding phishing scams and malware threats. Each step ensures you maintain control of your crypto assets securely.

Using Ledger Live Desktop in combination with your Ledger hardware wallet gives you full control, transparency, and security. Follow this guide to start managing your digital assets efficiently and safely today.
