Ledger® Live: | Log In – Ledger® Support

Ledger® Live is the official application that pairs with your Ledger® hardware wallet, allowing you to safely access and manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. The login process is unique and highly secure, as it involves physical verification through your Ledger® device rather than a typical username and password.

How to Log In to Ledger® Live

Logging in to Ledger® Live involves authenticating through your Ledger® hardware wallet. This ensures your private keys remain offline and secure at all times. Here’s how the process works:

1. Connect your Ledger® Nano S or Nano X to your computer or mobile device using USB or Bluetooth (for supported models).
2. Open the Ledger® Live app installed on your system.
3. Enter your secure PIN code on the hardware wallet to unlock it.
4. Ledger® Live will detect the device and grant access to your portfolio dashboard.
5. From there, you can view balances, install apps, manage accounts, and perform crypto transactions.

Why Ledger® Live Login Is Secure

• No Passwords: The app does not rely on web-based passwords that could be stolen or hacked.
• Offline Authentication: Your private keys never leave the physical device, making phishing or malware attacks ineffective.
• Manual Confirmation: All critical actions—like sending funds—must be confirmed on the physical wallet screen.
• Hardware Security: Ledger® devices are designed with tamper-resistant chips and encrypted software environments.

Tips for a Safe Ledger® Experience

• Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it in a secure, offline location.
• Never enter your recovery phrase on any website, app, or form.
• Ensure your Ledger® Live app is up to date to maintain the latest security protections.
• Use your hardware device for every transaction, even if you're just checking balances.
