Ledger® Live: Login | Getting Started™ with Ledger®

Ledger® Live is the official desktop and mobile application designed to help you securely manage your cryptocurrency assets with Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you are logging in for the first time or a returning user, Ledger Live offers a seamless experience to access your portfolio, send and receive crypto, and stay updated with market trends.

Logging In to Ledger Live

Unlike traditional online services, Ledger Live does not require a username or password. Instead, security relies on your Ledger hardware wallet and your recovery phrase. Here’s how to get started:

• Connect your Ledger device: Use the USB cable to connect your Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or other Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device.
• Open Ledger Live: Launch the application on your desktop or mobile.
• Authenticate: Unlock your device by entering your PIN code on the Ledger hardware wallet itself.
• Access your portfolio: Ledger Live will automatically sync with your device and display your account balances and recent transactions.

This login method ensures that your private keys never leave your Ledger device, maintaining maximum security.
