Safety checklist — before you login

Download Ledger Live only from ledger.com.
Verify the device is genuine and sealed when purchased; use the built-in genuine check.
Never enter your recovery phrase into a computer, website, or app — recovery phrases belong only on paper/metal in a safe place.
Enable a strong device PIN and consider using a passphrase for hidden accounts if you understand the risks.

Portfolio Tracking & Analytics

Ledger Live aggregates all added accounts and displays portfolio value across timeframes (1D, 1W, 1M, 1Y). It provides breakdowns by asset, percentage change, historical transaction lists, and fiat conversions. This makes Ledger Live a practical tool for both long-term holders and active traders who want a clear snapshot of their holdings.
