To begin using your Ledger® hardware wallet, visit the official setup page at Ledger.com/start. Here, you’ll find step-by-step instructions to initialize your wallet, install the Ledger Live App, and secure your recovery phrase. This ensures your digital assets are protected while giving you complete control over your funds.
During setup, you will create a PIN, write down your recovery phrase, and connect your wallet to the Ledger Live App. This process is essential for wallet verification and safe management of your cryptocurrencies.
Once your device is set up, access your wallet through the Ledger Live App. Use your PIN to unlock your device and manage your portfolio. Ledger® does not require a traditional username/password login; instead, your device acts as the secure login key.
For account recovery, or if you cannot log in, you can restore your wallet using the recovery phrase on a new or existing Ledger® device. Always store your phrase safely offline.
If your login isn’t working, confirm your device is updated and properly connected. Restart your Ledger Live App and ensure the USB cable is functioning correctly.
Connection errors often occur due to outdated firmware, blocked USB ports, or security software. Update your Ledger Live App and try another port or computer.
If the Ledger Live App is unresponsive, clear cache, reinstall the app, or check for the latest version. Refer to the Ledger® Help Center for more detailed instructions.
Verification issues may arise if the device is not initialized properly. Restart setup via Ledger.com/start and double-check your recovery phrase entries.
Declined transactions can result from network congestion or incomplete account verification. Ensure your firmware and apps are updated, and check your transaction fees.
Ledger® primarily uses device-based authentication rather than traditional 2FA. If access is lost, restore your wallet using your recovery phrase through the Ledger Live App.
