Welcome to the official Ledger® Live login and getting started guide. Ledger Live is the essential application to securely manage your cryptocurrencies through your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you are a new user or returning to your account, this guide will walk you through the process of logging in, setting up, and navigating the key features safely and efficiently.
Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application designed by Ledger to allow users to securely manage their cryptocurrency portfolio. It connects with Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S and Ledger Nano X, keeping your private keys offline and secure, while giving you full control over your crypto assets.
Through Ledger Live, you can:
Ledger Live does not operate with traditional username and password logins. Instead, access to your account is secured through your physical Ledger hardware wallet combined with your PIN code. This method ensures your private keys never leave your device.
First, download the latest version of Ledger Live from the official Ledger website: https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live. Avoid downloading from unofficial sources to prevent phishing and malware risks.
Using the USB cable (or Bluetooth for Ledger Nano X), connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device.
On your Ledger device, enter your PIN code to unlock it. The PIN is essential to access your wallets and approve transactions.
Open Ledger Live on your computer or mobile. The app will detect your connected device and synchronize your wallet accounts, displaying your portfolio balances and recent activity.
If you’re a new user, after connecting your device and unlocking it, Ledger Live will guide you through creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one using your recovery phrase.
Note: Always keep your recovery phrase private and offline. Ledger will never ask you for it.
If Ledger Live does not detect your device:
Multiple incorrect PIN attempts will reset your Ledger device. To regain access, restore your wallet with your recovery phrase.
Beyond login and portfolio management, Ledger Live offers:
Yes, Ledger Live requires internet access to synchronize blockchain data, but your private keys never leave your device.
No, Ledger Live requires a physical Ledger hardware wallet for security and authentication.
You can restore your wallet on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet using your recovery phrase.
Ledger Live login is designed to offer the highest level of security by combining your hardware wallet’s protection with an intuitive app interface. By following this getting started guide, you ensure a safe, smooth experience managing your cryptocurrencies on the official Ledger Live platform.
