4  Adding your accounts

Add accounts in Ledger Live to manage the crypto assets secured by your Ledger
hardware wallet. By adding your accounts, your public addresses are stored on your
computer or smartphone so you don't need your Ledger device every time you want to
check your balance.

Ledger Live. Check

this article

to learn how to manage crypto assets that are not
