Ledger Live Connection Issues

Firmware & App Errors

If firmware update fails, do not enter recovery phrases — follow official Ledger support articles. If the device prompts for a recovery phrase at any point from a website — treat it as a scam.

Important: Ledger (and Ledger Live) will never ask you to type your 24-word recovery phrase into a website or app. Always verify official guidance at ledger.com/start.
