Security & Why It Matters
Security is at the heart of Ledger Live’s design. Because you’re managing valuable digital assets, the protection of your private keys and transactions is vital.
Some of the critical security benefits include:
Hardware‑based key protection: Your private keys remain securely inside your Ledger hardware wallet’s secure element and never leave the device—even when using Ledger Live. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Transaction confirmations on‑device: Whenever you send funds, swap tokens or stake assets, you must physically confirm the action on your Ledger device. This ensures your computer or phone cannot initiate unauthorized actions alone. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
Download from trusted sources: Always install Ledger Live from ledger.com or the official app store. Fake apps have been used by scammers to steal seed phrases. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
No passwords or centralized accounts: Unlike many wallets, there is no cloud‑login to Ledger Live; you control your keys and access yourself. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
