Find answers to common questions about Ledger Live Desktop installation, features, and security.
The Ledger Live Desktop application offers several advantages over the web version, including enhanced performance, improved security through local data processing, better hardware wallet integration, advanced portfolio analytics, and offline functionality for certain operations. The desktop app also provides a more stable and reliable experience for managing large cryptocurrency portfolios.
While Ledger Live Desktop offers limited functionality without a hardware wallet, full security features require a Ledger hardware device. For maximum protection of your cryptocurrency assets, we strongly recommend using Ledger Live Desktop with a Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X hardware wallet. The desktop application provides enhanced security when used with hardware wallets through direct USB connection and secure communication protocols.
Ledger Live Desktop includes an automatic update mechanism that notifies you when new versions are available. Updates typically include security enhancements, new features, additional cryptocurrency support, and performance improvements. The application downloads updates in the background and prompts you to install them. You can also manually check for updates through the application settings menu. We recommend installing updates promptly to ensure you have the latest security protections.
Ledger Live Desktop stores your portfolio data locally on your computer in an encrypted format. Your private keys always remain secure on your hardware wallet and never leave the device. The application synchronizes with blockchain networks to update your portfolio information but does not store sensitive data in the cloud. This local storage approach enhances security while providing the convenience of portfolio management across your cryptocurrency assets.
