Security principles
Ledger Live is designed to keep private keys on your hardware device; the app acts as a management layer that requests signatures but never exposes secrets. Always verify transaction details on your Ledger device screen before approving. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Important safety reminder: download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger website or the official app stores. Fake or tampered applications have been used in scams — if an app ever asks for your seed phrase, it is a scam. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
