Ledger® Live: Login — Getting started™ with Ledger®

Welcome to Ledger Live Login

Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile app for managing your crypto assets using a Ledger hardware wallet. While the term “login” is commonly used, it’s important to understand that Ledger Live is non-custodial — there are no usernames or passwords. Instead, access is authenticated through your physical Ledger device, ensuring that only you can control your private keys and digital assets.

Whether you're using Ledger Live on your computer or mobile phone, this page will walk you through everything you need to know about safely accessing your Ledger Live app.

How Ledger Live Login Works

Unlike traditional login systems, Ledger Live uses your Ledger hardware wallet (such as the Nano X or Nano S Plus) to securely connect and manage your accounts. When you open the app, you don’t “log in” using credentials — instead, your device acts as the login key.

        Note: You must have your Ledger device connected (via USB or Bluetooth) to access your wallets.
      

The application reads your public account information, while your private keys remain secured inside your Ledger hardware wallet. This approach eliminates the risk of password theft, phishing, or centralized account hacks.

Steps to Access Ledger Live

Connect your Ledger Nano device to your computer or mobile device.
Enter your device PIN to unlock it.
Open the Ledger Live application.
Ledger Live will automatically detect your device and show your portfolio dashboard.
To access specific assets, ensure the corresponding app (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) is installed on your Ledger device.

Once you're inside, you can manage coins, send and receive crypto, stake assets, buy or swap, and monitor your portfolio.

Security Tips When Using Ledger Live

Always verify you're using the official app from ledger.com.
Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone.
Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase, PIN, or private key.
Use a secure computer free from malware or keyloggers.
Physically verify all transactions on your Ledger device screen before confirming.
Enable Ledger Live password lock and biometrics (on mobile) for extra protection.
