Unmatched Security: Offline Keys
The core advantage of using **Ledger Live** is the unbreakable security boundary between the app and the internet. Whether you are using **Ledger Live Desktop** (for Windows, macOS, or Linux) or the mobile version, your private keys never leave your Ledger device. This is known as the 'Ledger Secret' model: the app acts only as a display and instruction layer.
To guarantee security, every single action—sending funds, signing a contract, or performing a **Ledger Live Login** operation—requires physical verification on your Ledger device screen. This mandatory step prevents remote hacking attempts and phishing attacks, making it the most secure way to manage the 5,500+ assets supported by your **Ledger Live Wallet**.
