🚀 Getting Started with Ledger Live
When you first launch Ledger Live, you’ll land on the welcome screen. Click “Get Started”, then select your device—Nano S, Nano X, etc.—and choose whether to set up a new wallet or restore using a recovery phrase . From there, you can install app support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more via the Manager.
🔐 Logging In: What “Login” Means
Ledger Live doesn’t ask for a username/password like most apps. Instead, you unlock your wallet by connecting and verifying your Ledger hardware device. Optionally, under Settings → General, enable a password lock—so any time you open the app, you must enter that password to view portfolio balances .
✅ Logging Out or Resetting
Curious about how to logout? Reddit users confirm there’s no classic "Sign out" button:
“I was able to ‘log out’ by resetting the application in settings.”
You can find this under Settings → Help → Reset Ledger Live—this wipes all local data (accounts, history, settings), effectively logging you out. Alternatively, uninstalling and reinstalling the app also clears everything .
🧭 Pro Tips & Recap
