FAQs

1. What is the difference between Ledger Live and Ledger Login?

Ledger Login is your entry point to your Ledger account and online services. It’s a web portal, while Ledger Live is a secure desktop/mobile application that interfaces directly with your hardware wallet to manage your assets.

2. Do I need a Ledger Hardware Wallet to use Ledger Live?

Yes—Ledger Live works as a secure interface, but the actual private keys remain on the hardware device. Without it, you can view balances, but cannot authorize any transactions.

3. What is Ledger Bridge used for?

Ledger Bridge enables secure interactions with decentralized apps (dApps) like MetaMask or other Web3 services while keeping your key actions anchored to your hardware wallet.

4. Is Ledger Live entirely offline? How does it connect?

Ledger Live is an online app for convenience—but your private keys stay on your hardware, never touching your Internet-connected device. Transactions are signed offline and confirmed via the hardware wallet.

5. Can I manage multiple cryptocurrencies from Ledger Live?

Absolutely! Ledger Live supports thousands of coins and tokens, letting you create multiple accounts, track portfolios, and switch assets—all without needing separate wallets.
