Security and Trust within the ®Ledger Live App

The core principle underpinning the ®Ledger Live App is self‑custody — if you control your private keys, you control your crypto. As Ledger states, “Not your keys, not your crypto.” :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Here are some of the security features you should note when using the ®Ledger Live App:

• Your private keys remain stored in the secure chip of your Ledger hardware device, inaccessible over the internet. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
• The app itself does not require an email login or external account – the device PIN and recovery seed are sufficient. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
• Ledger publishes cryptographic download signatures for each release of Ledger Live. Always verify them. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
• Avoid phishing and fake downloads: Download only from ledger.com, never enter your 24‑word recovery phrase into any software or website. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}

Best Practices for Using the ®Ledger Live App

To make the most of the ®Ledger Live App while keeping your crypto safe, we recommend the following:

• Always update both your Ledger hardware device firmware and the app to the latest version before making transactions.
• Install only the coin applications on your Ledger device for the assets you actually use – removing unneeded apps can prevent memory overload and simplify management. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
• Write down your recovery seed on physical paper (or engraving steel) and store it offline in a safe place – never store digitally or share it.
• Before sending funds, always verify the recipient address carefully on your Ledger device screen (not just on the computer/mobile screen) to prevent malware‑induced address swaps.
• Enable security features such as passphrase protection or device lock as an additional layer of control if available.
• Use the “Portfolio” view within Ledger Live to monitor how your assets are performing and assess diversification or staking opportunities.
• Avoid storing large sums of crypto on exchanges – move them to self‑custody using your Ledger device paired with the ®Ledger Live App.
