Setting Up Ledger Live App for First Use

Common Questions

Can I use Ledger Live App without a Ledger device?

No — the mobile app is a companion that requires a Ledger hardware wallet for transaction signing.

Is Bluetooth secure?

Yes. Ledger uses secure encrypted channels and requires physical confirmation on the device for transactions.

What if I lose my phone?

Your recovery phrase (stored safely offline) allows you to restore access on a new device. The phone alone cannot recover funds without the phrase.

Advanced Tips & Best Practices

Use a hardware wallet for long-term holdings and large transfers.

Keep a verified copy of your recovery phrase offline and in multiple secure locations.

Regularly check for app and firmware updates from official Ledger channels.

When connecting to dApps, review every permission and transaction on your Ledger device before approving.
