Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ledger Live store my private keys?

No. Your private keys never leave the Secure Element chip inside your Ledger hardware device. Ledger Live merely provides a visual interface to compose transactions and view public balances.

Can I use Ledger Live without my hardware device plugged in?

Yes, in read-only mode. You can check portfolio balances, transaction history, and receive addresses. However, sending assets or changing firmware strictly requires signing on the hardware device itself.

What if my computer gets a virus?

Because the private key never leaves the device and every transaction detail must be visually confirmed and physically approved on the hardware screen, a compromised computer cannot sign unauthorized transfers.
