Haven't used your Ledger device in a while?
We publish new versions of Ledger Wallet very frequently (every 2 weeks to a month). This is meant not only to provide additional features but also to fix potential bugs and more importantly to update key parameters allowing to synchronize your crypto accounts and portfolio to the different blockchains.
If you've been gone a long time, you might have issues updating Ledger Wallet from within the app. Instead, we recommend manually updating Ledger Wallet by downloading and running our installer here. (Don't worry, all of your current crypto accounts and settings will be kept as-is)
Once Ledger Wallet is updated, plug in your Ledger device and navigate to the My Ledger tab, there should be some updates waiting for your device there.
If you're having trouble updating any part of your setup, check out this article and contact us if you can't figure it out.
There are a million reasons why you might not be able to see your coins in Ledger Wallet. The most important thing to remember is that all your crypto is stored in accounts on the blockchain. Even if you can't see it in Ledger Wallet, it's still out there somewhere. If you can't see an account that you used to see in Ledger Wallet, try re-adding it using your Ledger device. This process will force Ledger Wallet to scan the blockchain and find all crypto accounts associated with the SRP on your device. Learn more about how your accounts are tied to your SRP here.
Also, ensure that your Ledger device still holds the private keys corresponding to the missing account in Ledger Wallet. If your Ledger was reset or used to create a new Secret Recovery Phrase, you'll need to restore the private keys for the missing account using your Secret Recovery Phrase, then re-add the account in Ledger Wallet with your Ledger device. Learn more about restoring your accounts with your Secret Recovery Phrase here.
If you've tried everything and the coins still aren't showing up, contact us, and we'll be happy to help track them down.
Leaving your device off for long periods can impact the health of its battery resulting in battery-related errors when you plug it back in. If you're facing battery issues, make sure your device OS (firmware) is up-to-date here then try the steps in this article.
Going forward, we recommend powering on and charging the device every 3 months or so to protect the battery.
If you're having trouble connecting to My Ledger or performing the Ledger Genuine Check in Ledger Wallet, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure that all applications and browser extensions are fully closed when connecting.
- Test on another device or start a new session to see if the issue is device-related.
- Switch to a different Wi-Fi network to rule out any server connection blocks.
- Restart your computer.
If the issue persists, check out this article for advanced troubleshooting options.
Your Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) is the key to all of your crypto accounts on the blockchain. Now's a great time to double-check that you know where your Secret Recovery Phrase is and whether it's intact.

The Ledger Genuine Check is a cryptographic verification to ensure the authenticity of your Ledger device. This check is conducted by the Ledger Wallet app during your device's setup.
Genuine Ledger devices hold a secret key that is set during manufacturing. Only a genuine Ledger device can use its key to provide the cryptographic proof required to pass the Ledger Genuine Check issued by Ledger Wallet.
After completing the setup in Ledger Wallet, you can re-run the genuine check again at any time. Simply connect your Ledger device to the 'My Ledger' section within Ledger Wallet. Each time you connect, a silent Ledger Genuine Check will automatically run, similar to the initial check during setup.
Alternatively, you can initiate a Ledger Genuine Check for any existing or new Ledger device after Ledger Wallet has been set up by navigating to Settings > Help > Device setup in Ledger Wallet.

The BLE connection is end-to-end encrypted to protect user privacy. In the unlikely case, the BLE transport was to be compromised, an attacker would never be able to extract private keys or make users sign a transaction they do not wish to sign.
