FAQs
1. Why does Ledger Live ask for a password?
Ledger Live may use local app passwords for protecting the local application settings — however your blockchain assets are protected by the hardware device and recovery phrase. If an app asks for your 24-word phrase, treat it as malicious.
2. How to fix Bluetooth pairing issues on mobile?
Restart Bluetooth, remove the device from the phone's Bluetooth list, ensure Ledger Live mobile and device firmware are up to date and re-pair from within Ledger Live's pairing flow.
3. Can malware steal my funds via Ledger Live?
If you run a counterfeit Ledger Live impostor, it can trick you into revealing your seed phrase. Install only official software and watch security advisories. (Research has shown fake Ledger apps targeting macOS in recent campaigns.)
4. What should I do before reinstalling Ledger Live?
Make sure you have your recovery phrase securely stored and never enter it into any app. Removing the app will not remove funds; you can re-add accounts using the device.
5. Does Ledger Live have cloud backup?
No — Ledger does not store your private keys in the cloud. Backups are your own responsibility via the recovery phrase stored offline.
