How to See Your Accounts in Ledger Live (Desktop & Mobile)

Ledger Live is the official wallet management software from Ledger, available for both desktop and mobile platforms. This guide walks you through how to view and manage your cryptocurrency accounts using Ledger Live — whether you're checking Bitcoin balances, managing Ethereum wallets, or exploring DeFi tokens.

🔐 Ledger Live + Trezor Suite: Are They Compatible?

While Ledger Live is designed specifically for Ledger devices, many users also explore Trezor Suite via Trezor.io/start. If you're using both hardware wallets, remember they operate independently — Ledger with Ledger Live, and Trezor with Trezor Suite (or via Trezor Bridge).

Users can easily switch between devices but should avoid connecting them simultaneously to prevent driver conflicts.

Step-by-Step Guide to Viewing Accounts

1. Launching Ledger Live

First, ensure Ledger Live is installed from the official website. Open the app on your computer or smartphone and connect your Ledger device using USB or Bluetooth (Nano X only).

Security Reminder

Never download Ledger Live from unofficial sources. For Trezor users, always start from Trezor.io/start to ensure safe setup.

2. Navigating to the "Accounts" Tab

After setup, click the "Accounts" tab from the sidebar. This area displays all your added wallets including BTC, ETH, LTC, and ERC-20 tokens.

3. Adding New Accounts

To see your crypto assets, they must be added. Click on "Add Account" → Select the crypto asset → Follow instructions. Ledger Live communicates with your hardware wallet to verify account ownership.

4. Understanding the Account View

Balance: Displays current holdings
Operations: Shows historical transactions
Receive / Send: Securely manage transfers
Portfolio: Real-time chart of all assets

Ledger Live on Mobile: What’s Different?

On mobile, the flow is similar. After syncing with your Ledger Nano X via Bluetooth, you can manage accounts directly within the app.

Notable Differences:

Mobile requires Bluetooth (USB not supported)
Interface is optimized for smaller screens
Mobile supports Ledger Buy/Sell integrations too

Trezor Bridge vs Ledger Live

Trezor Bridge is a communication layer used for browser-based Trezor Suite usage. Unlike Ledger Live (which is a full software), Trezor Bridge enables web wallet access securely. If you're managing multiple wallets (e.g., Trezor + Ledger), it's important to understand how these tools interact.

Trezor Keywords in Use

Many users wonder how to balance using both Ledger and Trezor. Here's a summary of key tools and terms:

Trezor.io/start — Official onboarding page
Trezor Suite — App-based wallet manager
Trezor Login — Browser login via Trezor
Trezor Bridge — USB/web communication helper
Trezor Hardware Wallet — Physical crypto wallet

Best Practices for Account Security

Use Only Official Software

Never download Ledger Live or Trezor Suite from third-party sources. Stick to ledger.com and trezor.io/start.

Keep Firmware Up to Date

Regular firmware updates fix bugs and security flaws. Ledger and Trezor both notify users of updates through their apps.

Don't Share Recovery Phrases

Whether it’s a Ledger or Trezor wallet, the recovery phrase is your master key. Never store it online or share it with anyone.
