Access your assets with Ledger Live Login®
Ledger Live Login® is the trusted entry point for managing cryptocurrency with Ledger hardware devices. It pairs the Ledger Live application (desktop or mobile) with your Ledger hardware wallet so you can sign transactions and view balances without exposing private keys.

How Ledger Live Login® works
Ledger Live Login® is not a password-based login — it requires your Ledger hardware device to authorize actions. The typical flow:
- Install Ledger Live from the official Ledger download page.
- Connect your Ledger device (Nano X / Nano S Plus) via USB or Bluetooth and unlock it with your PIN.
- Open Ledger Live, go to "Manager" to install apps, then "Accounts" to add your cryptocurrency accounts.
- To send or sign a transaction, confirm the details directly on your Ledger device — private keys never leave the device.

Security and best practices
- Recovery phrase: Your 24‑word recovery phrase is the only backup. Store it offline and never enter it into apps or websites.
- Official downloads only: Always download Ledger Live from ledger.com to avoid malicious copies.
- Device PIN: Use a secure PIN and never share it. If your device is lost, the recovery phrase restores access on a new device.
- Software updates: Keep Ledger Live and your device firmware updated via the official Manager in Ledger Live.
