Welcome to Ledger Live Login, your official gateway to the Ledger ecosystem — where security meets simplicity. Whether you’re managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or NFTs, Ledger Live gives you a secure, all-in-one platform to buy, sell, stake, and grow your crypto portfolio.
Logging into Ledger Live is the first step toward total crypto control — your private keys stay offline, your data remains private, and you remain the only person in charge of your digital assets.
Let’s walk through everything you need to know about Ledger Live login, setup, and safe account access.
Ledger Live is the official software companion for your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax). It acts as your personal crypto dashboard, enabling you to:
Securely store and manage 5,000+ coins and tokens.
View your portfolio balance in real time.
Send, receive, and exchange crypto safely.
Buy and sell assets through trusted partners.
Stake crypto to earn rewards.
Manage NFTs and interact with Web3 apps securely.
Ledger Live is available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android).
With Ledger Live, every transaction must be confirmed on your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring your crypto is safe — even if your computer or phone is hacked.
Unlike regular online wallets that require usernames and passwords, Ledger Live login doesn’t use typical account credentials. Instead, your Ledger hardware wallet acts as your login key.
Here’s how Ledger Live keeps your account secure:
You log in using your Ledger device — not a password stored online. This means no one can access your wallet without your physical Ledger hardware.
Your private keys are stored inside the Secure Element chip of your Ledger device, never exposed to your computer or the internet.
When you connect your Ledger to Ledger Live, the app automatically verifies that your device is authentic and untampered.
All data exchanged between your Ledger device and Ledger Live is encrypted, preventing interception or tampering.
Ledger Live does not store your crypto, keys, or login details on any server. Everything stays local and under your control.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to logging in safely to Ledger Live on both desktop and mobile.
Step 1: Open Ledger Live
If you don’t already have it installed, download it from the official Ledger website:
👉 https://ledger.com/ledger-live
Always ensure the URL is correct — fake sites can distribute malicious software.
Step 2: Launch the App
Open the Ledger Live app on your computer. You’ll see the main login dashboard.
Step 3: Connect Your Ledger Device
Use the provided USB cable (or Bluetooth for Nano X) to connect your Ledger hardware wallet.
Step 4: Enter Your PIN Code
Unlock your device by entering your PIN code. This gives Ledger Live permission to interact with your wallet.
Step 5: Access Your Dashboard
Once your device is recognized, Ledger Live will automatically log in. You’ll now have access to your portfolio, balances, and crypto accounts.
Step 1: Install Ledger Live Mobile
Download the Ledger Live app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
⚠️ Only install apps published by “Ledger.” Avoid clones or lookalike apps.
Step 2: Pair Your Device
For Ledger Nano X: Use Bluetooth to pair directly with your smartphone.
For Nano S Plus or Ledger Stax: Connect using the USB On-The-Go cable if supported by your device.
Step 3: Enter Your PIN
Unlock your Ledger device by entering your PIN.
Step 4: Manage Crypto On the Go
Once connected, you can check balances, send/receive crypto, stake assets, and manage NFTs directly from your phone — all secured by your Ledger.
Unlike online platforms, Ledger Live does not use passwords, email logins, or recovery via a web server.
Instead, your access is tied to your Ledger hardware wallet and recovery phrase.
If you lose your Ledger device, you can restore access using your 24-word recovery phrase on a new device.
⚠️ Never enter your recovery phrase on Ledger Live or any website.
Your Ledger device is the only place it should ever be entered.
Sometimes, users may encounter connection or detection errors when trying to log in. Here are quick fixes:
Ensure your USB cable is working properly.
Try a different USB port.
Update Ledger Live to the latest version.
Restart both your computer and Ledger device.
If you forget your PIN, reset your Ledger and restore it using your 24-word recovery phrase.
Make sure Ledger Live is closed and reopen it.
Confirm that the device firmware is updated.
Reinstall Ledger Live if the issue persists.
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
Keep your Ledger close to your phone.
Restart the Bluetooth pairing process.
