Welcome — Access your Ledger Live safely
Ledger Live Login is the gateway to managing your crypto securely. Whether you’re checking balances, sending funds, or installing apps on your device, logging in with Ledger Live is fast and private. This page explains the login flow, security best practices, and helpful troubleshooting tips so you can connect with confidence.
Why Ledger Live login matters
The Ledger Live login process combines a local desktop or mobile client with your physical Ledger hardware (Ledger Nano S / X or compatible device). Your private keys never leave the device — Ledger Live only reads public account data and uses the device to authorize transactions. This separation minimizes online attack surfaces while giving you a modern, convenient interface.
How Ledger Live login works — simple steps
- Download and open Ledger Live: Install the official Ledger Live application from the Ledger website and open it on your computer or phone.
- Connect your device: Plug in your Ledger hardware and unlock it with your PIN.
- Open the Ledger Live Manager: Ledger Live detects your device and syncs account data.
- Confirm actions on-device: Approve any connection or transaction prompts physically on your Ledger screen.
Security checklist — keep your account safe
- Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger domain.
- Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone or type it into software.
- Use a strong PIN on your Ledger device and keep firmware updated.
- Verify the device screen before approving transactions — attackers cannot show fake screens on your physical device.
Troubleshooting common login issues
If Ledger Live cannot detect your device: try a different cable or USB port, ensure the device is unlocked, and confirm Ledger Live is updated. On mobile, enable Bluetooth for Ledger Nano X and grant necessary permissions. If you see connectivity errors, restart both the app and the device before reaching out to official support channels.
