Security best practices

Only official downloads

Download Ledger Live only from Ledger's official site. Do not use third-party mirrors or installers distributed via email or random websites.

Verify signatures

Compare checksums or signature files Ledger publishes for each installer to the binary you downloaded to ensure integrity.

Never share your recovery phrase

Ledger or any legitimate support will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. Requests for it are scams.

Beware of fake apps

Malicious fake Ledger Live apps have targeted users on some platforms—double-check the source and official communications if unsure.
