Ledger® Live: Login | Secure Access to Your Wallet

Login With Confidence

Welcome to Ledger Live — the secure gateway to your cryptocurrency assets. When you “log in,” you’re not entering a password online, you're proving ownership through your hardware device and PIN.

How Ledger® Live “Login” Works

Step 1: Download & Open

Install Ledger Live from the official site on your desktop or mobile device.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

Plug in your Ledger hardware wallet (USB or Bluetooth for Nano X).

Step 3: Enter PIN

Unlock your device with the secure PIN you created during setup.

Step 4: Approve On Device

Ledger Live will prompt operations — approve them directly on your device.

Note: Ledger Live does not use usernames, passwords, or email-based login. Your access is always tied to your physical device.

Why This Approach Is Safer

Traditional logins (username + password) are vulnerable to phishing, credential leaks, and brute-force attacks. With Ledger Live:

Your private keys remain offline—never exposed to the internet.
Every transaction requires a physical confirmation.
Even if your computer is compromised, your funds are protected.

This “split trust” model ensures that no single attack vector can compromise both your device and your credentials.

Troubleshooting: Login Issues?

If you're having trouble “logging in,” try these steps:

Make sure your Ledger Live app is the latest version.
Ensure your device firmware is up to date.
Check your USB cable or Bluetooth connection.
Restart both your computer (or phone) and your device.

Warning: If a website or app asks for your 24‑word recovery phrase to “log in,” it’s a phishing scam. Ledger will never request that phrase during login.

Use Cases After Login

Once you’re “logged in,” Ledger Live allows you to:

View your entire crypto portfolio
Send, receive, swap, or stake assets
Connect to Web3/DApps
Install dedicated coin apps on your device
Manage NFTs and track token activity

But every sensitive action still requires confirmation on your hardware device — protecting you from unauthorized use.

Extra Security Tips

To stay safe:

Always download Ledger Live from the official domain (ledger.com).
Never reveal your 24‑word recovery phrase to anyone or any website.
Store your recovery phrase offline (paper, metal, or cryptosteel).
Optionally use a passphrase (25th word) for an extra layer of security.
Regularly check for firmware and app updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ledger Live support traditional login (email/password)?

No — Ledger always uses hardware-based authentication. If you find a site asking for email or password for Ledger Live, it’s not official.

What if I lose my device?

Use your 24‑word recovery phrase to restore your wallet on a new Ledger or compatible hardware wallet. But be careful: entering your phrase into a malicious site can expose your funds.

Can I use multiple devices?

Yes—you can restore your wallet on multiple Ledger devices using the same recovery phrase. But only one device is active at a time for transaction approvals.
