Welcome to the official Ledger® Live login guide (en-US). This support article walks you through how to securely access your Ledger® Live account, set up your Ledger hardware wallet, and ensure your crypto assets remain protected. Whether you're a new user or returning after a long break, understanding the login process is essential to safely manage your crypto portfolio.
Ledger Live is the official software companion to your Ledger hardware wallet. It provides a secure interface to manage your digital assets—allowing you to buy, sell, stake, and monitor crypto holdings directly from your Ledger device. All operations are protected by hardware-level security, ensuring that private keys never leave your device.
Unlike traditional web platforms, Ledger Live doesn’t use cloud-based accounts. Your login is local, device-based, and strongly protected through your hardware wallet and password lock (if enabled). Here's how it works:
This dual-layered login process ensures you're the only one with access—no email-based usernames, no cloud passwords, no remote hacks.
Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website if you haven't already. Open the application on your Windows, macOS, or Linux system. For mobile users, install the Ledger Live app on Android or iOS via the app store.
If you previously set a password for Ledger Live, you will be prompted to enter it. This local password helps protect access to your portfolio on your device.
Plug in your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S). Enter your PIN code directly on the device. Ledger Live will automatically detect and connect to your device.
Once connected, you can access all previously added accounts. If this is your first login, you’ll be prompted to initialize your wallet or import existing recovery phrases (never do this online).
Yes. Ledger Live works on any compatible system, but your Ledger device and recovery phrase are required to access wallets and assets.
No. Ledger Live is an application-based system. Avoid any third-party websites claiming to offer Ledger Live login via the web—they are likely phishing scams.
You can recover your wallet on a new Ledger device using your 24-word recovery phrase. Never lose or share this phrase.
Ledger® Live Login is designed to be secure, private, and user-friendly. By combining a local app password with hardware verification, Ledger ensures your crypto assets are safe from online threats. With support for hundreds of coins and integration with DeFi and NFTs, Ledger Live continues to be the most trusted platform for managing your crypto securely.
Reminder: Always verify you're using the official Ledger application and never disclose your recovery phrase. If you're ever unsure, contact official Ledger support channels.
