This short presentation (10 slides) guides new users through the Ledger Live login flow, essentials for first-time setup, security best practices, and where to get help. Designed for workshops, internal training, or quick classroom demos with clear action items and speaker notes.
Open by describing why hardware wallets exist and why Ledger Live is the official companion app for managing a Ledger hardware device.
Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website and verify the download page certificate. Avoid third-party links shared in chat or email. Use the browser address bar and official Ledger links.
Use the supplied cable. When you power on the Ledger hardware, confirm the device displays the expected Ledger logo and a welcome screen. Ledger Live will prompt to pair with the device.
Demonstrate a mock connection or show photos of the device boot screens for visual learners.
Open Ledger Live, choose Get started then select Connect my device. Ledger Live reads the device fingerprint and requests user confirmation on the hardware device — the physical device authorizes account access.
Ledger will ask for PIN on the device, never type it into your computer. Recovery phrases should never be entered into apps or forms.
During initial setup the device generates a recovery phrase (24 words in many models). Write it down on the official recovery sheet and store it OFFLINE in multiple secure locations. Consider metal backups for long-term durability.
Install specific currency apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) via the Manager in Ledger Live. After installing, add accounts — each blockchain/account is shown in Ledger Live for portfolio view and operations.
Install only the apps you need; firmware and app updates are available through the Manager and require physical confirmation on the device.
Always use official Ledger support channels found via the official site. Beware of phishing support links via social media or email.
This walkthrough covered secure download, connecting your Ledger device, login and authentication, recovery best practices, app/account management, transaction verification, and official support resources. Follow the checklists and always confirm critical details on the device screen.
